Your Breath, Your Metabolism, Your Weight <\/big><\/strong>by Janice Taylor<\/a>, Life & Wellness Coach, Cert. Hypnotist, NLP Practitioner, Author, Columnist, Seminar Leader & 50-pound Big-Time-Loser!<\/em> (write Janice<\/a> for free consult)
\nOur weight depends on a complicated blend of variables<\/strong><\/big> – from how much we move (exercise), to what we eat, how much we eat, how we feel about ourselves, to hereditary factors.
\nOur weight is even linked to how we breathe.
\nBreathing can:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Affect our metabolism.<\/li>\n
  2. Affect the quantity of food we ingest.<\/li>\n
  3. Make us feel better mentally, physically & emotionally.<\/li>\n
  4. Calm us.<\/li>\n
  5. Release endorphins, which help us to feel happy.<\/li>\n
  6. Enhance our appearance.<\/li>\n
  7. Make us feel instantly stronger and thinner.<\/li>\n
  8. Revitalize and energize every cell in our bodies.<\/li>\n
  9. Increase our energy level.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All of this can aid our weight loss effort.<\/strong> Healthy breathing helps us maintain the right balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our cells, which has a favorable impact on our metabolism.
    \nJon Kabat-Zinn, University of Massachusetts Memorial Health Care Center, says “Every breath, actually, is a release not only of air, but all the pent-up energy in the body. Every in-breath can be restoration or revitalization, and every out-breath a letting-go of anxiety or anger or tension or irritability.”<\/em>
    \nInstead of stuffing down your feelings with food, breathe.
    \nIt’s natural. It’s free. And it’s easy.
    \nTry some     basic breathing<\/a>!
    \nSpread the word, NOT the icing!
