How To Nourish Your Skin, Part 2
In addition to moderate exercise, deep breathing is also a mild but effective form of aerobic exercise that can be done anywhere. Even as you drive, sit at your desk, ride elevators or do housework, deep breathing can make your body pump more blood everywhere, from your brain to your feet. Like an internal massage, deep breathing gives you a calm but energized feeling.
Most of the time, we breathe shallowing, using only our upper lungs. Deep breathing means breathing from your diaphragm, which is in your stomach area. Here’s what you do:
Sit up straight with your shoulders relaxed. Do not lean forward. Inhaling through your nose, slowly fill your lungs with a deep breath, beginning by expanding your stomach area as you inhale. Eventually, you should feel the air moving into the top of your lungs. When you’ve reached maximum breathing capacity, hold the breath for one second, and then slowly exhale through your mouth. Relax and breathe normally for four breaths. Repeat this process 10 times.
Deep breathing is a helpful and effective way to elevate your energy and clear your skin. You should practice this method whenever you can.
