ASTHMA and LIFESTYLE
from The Blue Mountains Gazette
With doctors now giving “lifestyle” prescriptions, where appropriate for their patients, what better time than now to take a look at the very fundamentals of lifestyle. Breathing is the most important thing you will ever do.
DID YOU KNOW that you breathe twenty to thirty thousand times a day? If you do it wrong it will have a huge impact on your health. DID YOU KNOW that after the mid twenties you loose between 10% and 27% of your respiratory capacity for every decade of life? Unless, you are doing something to improve your breathing technique your general health will decline, often with quite nasty symptoms such as reflux, asthma, chronic fatigue, allergies, eczema, constipation, high blood pressure, heart conditions, low immunities, chronic cough, panic attacks. Almost every disease known to mankind is worsened or improved by the quality of our breathing. DID YOU KNOW that the respiratory system is responsible for eliminating 70% of your metabolic waste? If you think that going to the bathroom every day is important or that working up a good sweat is healthy then think hard about the value of GOOD BREATHING!!! People who breathe optimally rarely or never get sick. They enjoy long lives and are healthy psychologically as well as physically. Life is easier when you “BREATHE EASY”. Class and private appointments are available now. For more information phone Jennifer Harris B.I.B.H. 0414 833 857 or take a look at http://www.pnc.com.au/~breatheasy which is Jennifer’s website.
