Breathing Improves Health

I came across an interesting article by Dr. Andrew Weil's. He is a very well known alternative medical doctor. He mentions that in his many years of practice and studies he believes the #1 thing that can have the biggest impact in your health is a daily breathing technique.

This breathing technique is called the 4-7-8. Sit up straight in a chair and get into a relaxed mode. Close your mouth with your tongue against the inside of your teeth. Take a deep breath in for four seconds and hold it for seven seconds and then release th air out of your mouth slowly for eight seconds. This is the 4-7-8 breathing that he thinks is so important to good health.

Do four of these, three to four times everyday.
