Effects of poor breathing

Poor breathing reduces the efficiency of one's lungs and thus the available oxygen. One must take two to four times more breaths to compensate. This increases the individual's energy expenditure and heart rate and retards venous flow and discharge of metabolic wastes from the cells to the kidneys and lungs before these wastes can do harm (About 70% of the body's waste products are eliminated through the lungs, 30% through the urine, feces and skin).

Poor breathing retards the lymphatic system and the destruction of bacteria. It also reduces digestive juices available and increase of toxins in the digestive tract. It weakens and dis-harmonizes almost every major system in the body and makes us more susceptible to chronic and acute diseases of all kinds infections, constipation, respiratory illnesses, digestive problems, ulcers, depression, sexual disorders, sleep disorders, fatigue, headaches , poor blood circulation and premature aging.
