What do you think is most important?

What do you think is the most important element to your health and wellness? Food? Water? Exercise? I put my money on air, or better yet, oxygen. How long can you survive without it? So why is it that most people do not know how to breath? Why do we just take it for granted and don't really focus on it if it is so important to our survival?

First we need to ask ourselves, what is breathing? If you consult the dictionary, it will tell you that breathe is "to take air into and expel from the lungs" Pretty self explanatory isn't it. And how do we breathe well? In order to get enough oxygen in and expel CO2, we need to practice deep breathing. Breathing from your belly and involving your diaphragm. By doing so, your cells will have a better environment to work with and you will feel a greater sense of wellness. My next post will be about a breathing exercise.
