Beauty and Breathing

Breathing not only is essential and vital, but affects our mental state. It promotes relaxation and stimulates our ability to learn, concentrate and memorize. To function, the brain needs a large amount of oxygen. Breathing well is fundamental for all of our organs. Taking the time to breathe better helps relax the muscles (especially the neck and shoulders), allows better oxygenation of the blood and organs, lowers our blood pressure and strengthens our immune defenses.

Poor breathing habits can actually make you sick. They can prevent your body from having access to the amount of oxygen it needs and can make you vulnerable to illness and stress. Breathing well improves cell regeneration and fights free radicals. Thus, conscious and controlled breathing, are ultra-effective methods to allow the skin to oxygenate more.
