way to breathe this lack of knowledge can affect both our physical and mental health today we delve into the most common mistakes in breathing and how rectifying them can instigate positive changes in our lives the first major mistake people make in breathing is shallow breathing our lungs are filled with approximately 300 million alveoli which are tinier sex responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide but with shallow breathing we utilize merely 30 percent of these alveoli leaving behind 70 percent Idol this results in insufficient oxygen intake and carbon dioxide built up in our body leading to a more acidic environment reduced immunity and diminished physical abilities in short we are slowly and unconsciously harming our health but how can we Rectify this the answer is deep breathing deep breathing ensures that air reaches the lower parts of our lungs thus fully utilizing the alveoli and this increases oxygen intake in our body and AIDS in the expulsion of toxins from our body an additional benefit of deep breathing is that it activates the vagus nerve a key component of our nervous system is like a super highway in our body connecting the brain to many important organs such as the heart and lungs it plays a crucial role in regulating our bodily functions like heart rate digestion and immune system this activation stimulates the production of happy hormones like dopamine and serotonin in our body leading to a reduction in stress anxiety and depression with deep breathing every cell in our body gets cleansed and revitalized but what exactly is deep breathing this is where the concept of diaphragmatic or belly breathing comes into play have you ever observed a baby while they breathe you will see that their tummy expands when they take a breathe in and contracts as they breathe out this is how nature wanted us to breathe using our diaphragm not just our chest when we breathe in our stomach should expand and then we breathe out our stomach should contract but as we get older and our lives become more hectic we unknowingly change our breathing pattern we start to take quick and shall we breathe that only fill up our chest and not our belly now this is the incorrect way of breathing and over time it can affect our health and well-being the diaphragm is a muscle that sits between our chest and stomach it helps you to inhale and exhale when we breathe deeply using our diaphragm something special happens as this muscle tightens and moves downwards it creates more room in our chest cavity this extra room lets our lungs expand more than they can as our lungs expand more then we can draw more air into our bodies and then our lungs can extract more life-giving oxygen to feed to ourselves at the same time we can get rid of more waste carbon dioxide when we breathe out so the deeper we breathe into our bellies the more efficiently our bodies can work and the healthier we can be that's why in yogic science it was said that when we inhale the air should ideally flow deep into our bodies reaching as far as our navel when we exhale the air should move from the area of our navel backup and out of our nose this was the way of describing deep and diaphragmatic breathing also as per yogic science hey humans average lifespan is between 65 to 80 years and they breathe around 12 to 20 times per minute dog leaves for
