SUMMARY:The Shift Show Building CommUnity and Wellness One Step at a Time: Just Breathe The Healing Powers of Breath with Kamie and Jenna
DESCRIPTION:ZOOM IN LIVE!\n\n\nTake a deep breath…  \n\n\nLet me ask you a few questions. How deep do you breathe? Are you a mouth breather? Do you snore at night? Are your breaths slow\, deep\, and through your nose?   \n\nMost of us know by now that taking a deep breath is a great way to reduce stress and increase blood flow. But here is a little twist\, we often over breath. This means we are taking short\, choppy\, restricted breaths through our mouth. Over breathing does precisely the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish. \n\nResearch has shown that when we breathe slow\, deep\, and through our nose\, we activate our parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest response)\, rather than short\, shallow\, and upper chest breaths that activate our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response). \n\nDid you know that pranayama\, breathing techniques\, have been used to treat GERD\, asthma\, boost lung health\, support digestion\, decrease pulmonary edema\, and more in western medical practice?\n\nWestern medical research has loads of studies to support what eastern medicine has known for thousands of years. Many studies support the benefits of breathing on cardiovascular and lung health but are starting to dive deeper into how breathing works in immune function\, breast health\, digestion\, and more. A few more benefits of proper breathing and pranayama techniques are: \n\nbuild immunity \nexchange carbon dioxide/oxygen in tissues and organs\nreduces stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system \nreduces blood pressure  \nmaintains a healthy inflammation response \nincrease in concentration and reduces fatigue \nrelieves muscle tension  \nrelieves abdominal discomfort\, gut health\, and digestion \nboosts mental health and mood\nhelps cardiovascular and heart health and builds lung capacity\naids sleep and reduce incidences of sleep apnea \n\n\n\nLearn more about breathing and pranayama and the necessary steps for breath awareness and proper breath.\n\n\n\nZOOM IN LIVE! CLICK HERE!
