Extending age: breathing techniques EXTENDING AGE: BREATHING TECHNIQUES
Unless you've had lessons, chances are that you don't know how to breathe. And that's trouble, says breath researcher and psychologist Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., who has taught Olympic athletes and thousands of other people how to breathe at his Hendricks Institute in Santa Barbara, California.
Dr. Hendricks conducted experiments and reviewed more than 300 scientific studies of "breathwork" while researching his popular book Conscious Breathing. He is convinced that most of us could use a few breathing lessons. Here's why.
Breathing is how we rid most toxins, like carbon dioxide, from our bodies and how we cleanse and oxygenate our blood and every cell, says Dr. Hendricks. The remaining wastes are discharged through urine, sweat, and defecation. If we aren't breathing right, other purification systems-such as our kidneys-get overworked.
But, Dr. Hendricks says, "there is one universal breathing problem: the tendency to hold your belly muscles too tense so that you can't get a deep breath down into the center of your body." Instead most of us breathe from the top of our lungs. Here's the problem with that. "Less than Mo liter of blood per minute flows through the top of the lungs; 2/3 liter per minute flows through the middle of the lungs, and more than a liter flows through the bottom," says Dr. Hendricks.
The chest breather constantly discharges too much carbon dioxide and takes in too little oxygen through short, shallow breaths. The imbalance forces the heart to work unauthorized overtime, and that raises the blood pressure.
