Reason one to start breath work today!  

In this uncertain time of RSV and COVID 19 it's more important than ever to understand how our respiratory system works to help aid us to staying healthy and strong.  Have you had  COVID and still can't breath well and still feel tired?  Well learning the oxygen Advantage program can help you get back to your day to day life and gain your health freedom back.  First tip! Nasal breath always!   Our mouth was made for eating and speaking and can not filter out bacteria and viruses. This is where our nose comes into play it filter and humidifies the air creating an environment that doesn't allow the bad guys to pass through.   


Ever wear a mask and feel even more breathless? This is due to CO2 intolerance, so start using that nose to regain a normal breathing rate and increase your HRV.  By utilizing the nose we create resistance to our breathing muscles (working them out) and it gives us a protective barrier even better than a mask.  First line of defense is ourselves and how we function!

Reason two to start Breath Work Today!

Ever become breathless during a workout or a time of stress? In the instance of becoming breathless during a workout, make sure you decrease the speed and intensity of your workout for the first ten minutes keep it nasal breathing only. As for stress cup your hands over your nose and mouth and slow your breath. This allows you to increase oxygenation throughout your body and shifting you to a rest and digest state. Our favorite exercises to start with pre workout and doing warm ups are: Breathe light 2-5 minutes, many small breath holds 2-5 minutes and our walking with short breath holds.

These breathing exercises are for those how have issues with performance, allergies, asthma, sleep apnea, post Covid-19, rhinitis, anxiety and depression and better more deep sleep and so much more.  

Other recommendations: pace your workouts for the first ten minutes and do not let your heart rate spike, best practice is to do 10 minutes on a piece of cardio equipment.  This increases blood flow, allows us to regulate our breathing and heart rate prior to getting into our main workout.

Reason Five to start Breath work today!  The benefits of breath work and its effects on Dementia.  The better vagal tone you have the less stress and inflammation you have in your system. What is vagal tone? "Vagal tone is activity of the vagus nerve, the 10th cranial nerve and a fundamental component of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system." How do we increase this with our breathing, we use low, slow and deep breathing.  Think of the breathe light exercise, try to make your breath indictable.  If you were to have your finger under your nose you should not feel the breath moving in and out maintain this for up to 15 minutes.  This is especially important to do at night or before a stressful event.  Move your mind onto your breath and keep your concentration there and every time it wanders bring it back to the breath.
