Most people have very shallow breathing, which means the lower portion of the lungs is filled with stale air. It is important to do deep breathing exercise daily (three times a day is best). Take a deep breath to full expansion, hold, then exhale slowly and completely, and hold that. Repeat this, say, twenty times. This helps the circulation and gets toxins out of the system.
One of the best ways to learn deep breathing (normal breathing) is to lie flat on one's back and place your hand on your stomach. As you breathe in deeply your hand should rise. Practice this until your abdominal muscles always automatically rise each time you breathe. This indicates that the entire lung is expanding, with emphasis on the lower portion of the lung and abdominal area.
Be outdoors as much as possible. Always exercise outdoors. In the home it is important to secure thorough ventilation and plenty of sunlight. Keep proper ventilation in mind wherever you are (home, work, school, etc.). Air must be in constant circulation to be kept free from poisons.
Breathe fresh air while sleeping, keep the windows open. Even on cold winter nights, it is better to double the blankets but always make sure there is a free circulation of fresh air in the bedroom. Air the bedrooms daily with the windows open. If you sleep in an ill-ventilated room you will awake feeling feverish and exhausted. This is because the vital air was excluded, and your entire body suffers in consequence.
The best air is at beaches, oceans, waterfalls, forests, during thunderstorms, and in sunshine; all these natural environments electrically charge oxygen molecules to negative ions which are health-giving. On the other hand, air from air conditioners is not the best, because it is positively ionized
