Thanks for posting this! At 55 I feel like I’m getting a little flaky around the edges. I’ll be trying this.

Another good article, CM. Thanks for these health-related posts.

Mrs Submareener and I use this device. It really helps a lot with breathing after 77.

Basic yoga breathing exercise. Raise your hands high over your head as you inhale and lower them as you exhale.

>> they were instructed to keep an eye on their heart rate, making sure the heart rate stayed as steady as possible.

Huh? How exactly does one make sure that their heart rate stays steady? Or, in fact, how does one make sure that their heart rate "does" anything at all? Sounds like bullsh!t to me.

Someone emailed me that since she started Hof breathing exercises, she didn’t get sick for a year (at the time she told me.) But I didn’t quite believe it. This article makes me wonder if there is something extra beneficial to doing breathing exercises. I’ve just been taking breathing for granted.

Great articles, ConservativeMind! And Freepers add lots of good info.

This is the Hof breathing exercise the lady told me about:

The American Lung Association has some breathing techniques on their website:

Interesting. I wonder if this could cause Respiratory Alkalosis.
Respiratory alkalosis occurs when low carbon dioxide levels disrupt your blood’s acid-base balance. It often occurs in people who experience rapid, uncontrollable breathing (hyperventilation).

I also wonder if this breathing excercise accelerates burning of fat. The majority of weight loss occurs through breathing. When fat leaves the body, 84% is exhaled as CO2. The carbon you exhale comes from fat.

Probably lowers blood pressure too.

20 minutes??? Not me. Hello hyperventilate. Keep paper sack handy.

Does gasping at the daily news count?

It seems that methelene blue also reduces alzheimers.

Interestingly, cancer is anerobic. Methelene blue provide oxygen to the cells.

So, an exercise routine?
