Why Bother Breathing? Amber Trueblood LMFT
Breathe.
No seriously, I mean it. Close your eyes for a moment and take a breath. (It’s ok, nobody is looking at you.) Take a slow deep breath, then let out all the air you can. All of it… until you can feel all your stomach muscles contracting.
If you dare, do it twice more. Then, breathe normally.
(Ok, now close your eyes and actually do it.)
Why Bother Breathing
Breathing is not only good because it keeps you alive. I mean, that’s great too. But it also does ALL of this…
- Improves your mental clarity and focus
- Enhances your metabolism and digestive processes (Sounds too good to be true, right?)
- Increases your energy levels
- Improves your memory, processing speed, and mental agility
- Improves your mood (I know you probably don’t need this, but just in case.)
- Reduces your impulsivity, cravings, and addictions
- Enhances your immune function
WHY? BECAUSE…
Breathing deeply oxygenates your blood cells
Breathing deeply balances oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood
Breathing deeply removes carbon dioxide and toxins from body tissue
Breathing deeply improves blood circulation
Breathing deeply increases melatonin levels
Breathing deeply reduces your heart rate
Breathing deeply reduces your blood pressure
Breathing deeply decreases your cortisol levels
Breathing deeply reduces the activation of pain centers in the brain
Breathing deeply releases endorphins
Breathing deeply releases muscle tension
Breathing deeply reduces biomarkers for inflammation
