It's almost like eating a bunch of food and then vomiting it up.

All of those oxygen molecules aren't used.

So that's one part of it.

And if you're hunched over like this,

and you're breathing inefficiently, you're only able to use a small percentage of that oxygen that comes in, you are then stressing your body out because you have to breathe so much more to get a simple breath of air, right?

So you're sending your brain messages that you are stressed.

And how many people do this all day long in front of a computer?

Go in any office, and the vast majority of people are doing this.

If I switch that around, look at proper breathing,

got proper posture so when i take a breath in the diaphragm naturally descends i can take far fewer breaths i can get much more oxygen so it's much more efficient and when i'm breathing longer deeper fewer breaths per minute i'm sending my brain messages that i'm calm

The diaphragm sits underneath the lungs.

And when you inhale the diaphragm, which is shaped like a parachute...

That diaphragm descends down.

It flexes downward.

And when you exhale, that diaphragm flexes up.

You need that movement in the diaphragm to be breathing properly.

You also need it to help digest food better and give all those essential organs down here a massage so that they can function more efficiently.

So most of us are not breathing this way.

We are breathing into our chest.

Many of us tend to breathe through our mouths.
