By Dennis LewisOur weight depends on a variety of physical and
psychological factors, from our heredity, to how we feel about ourselves, to
what we eat, to our insulin sensitivity, to the amount of exercise we get, and
so on. It also depends on our breathing, on how
we actually breathe throughout the day. Those of us who are overweight often
have a breathing problem. Learning how to breathe more naturally and efficiently, the
way our bodies were designed to breathe, can have a powerful influence on our
metabolism and overall sense of well-being. Healthy, natural breathing makes us
feel better physically, emotionally, and mentally, and this has a beneficial
influence on the quantity and quality of our exercise, the way we look at and
feel about ourselves, the kinds and quantities of food we eat, the amount of
energy we have, and so on. All of this can result in losing or even gaining
weight when appropriate. It is clear that, among other benefits, healthy
breathing helps us achieve the right balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our
cells, which has a beneficial influence on our metabolism. Breathing exercises designed primarily to help us lose
weight, however, even when they might be effective in the short term and
increase our overall sense of energy, can cause many problems for the future.
Depending on how they are done and whether or not they are based on the
principles of natural breathing, they can weaken the diaphragm, create
restrictions in our breathing muscles, undermine our overall breathing
coordination, and upset our vital chemical and hormonal balances. Our breath is an incredible gift, a fundamental force that has
subtle interrelationships with all the different sides of ourselves--body, mind,
emotions, and spirit. Using forceful breathing activities and exercises as a
shortcut to lose weight can not only have a negative impact on our breathing in
the long term, but can also disharmonize these interrelationships and lead to
serious physical, psychological, and spiritual problems. Copyright © 1999-2007 by Dennis Lewis
