Oxygen is the most important chemical in your body.
70% of our bodies 'waste products' are removed through breathing. (20% through skin, 10% digestive system) Breathing exercises have been found to be effective in reducing generalized anxiety disorders, depression, irritability, muscle tension, headaches, poor concentration and fatigue.
Many of us do not breath correctly for maximum health benefits. If you stop and observe your breaths, they will most likely be short, inconsistent and shallow.
