Breath is our life; if you are not breathing properly you would definitely get by many diseases. One who breathes deeply can live longer than whose breath is short. You can take the example of elephant and dog; elephant inhales and exhale deeply that is why the elephant lives longer life, on the other hand, dog breath is short that is why dogs live a short life. The same thing happens with human beings.
In this era of coronavirus, people are dying only because of breathlessness and heart attack because this virus attacks our respiratory system. Our respiratory system has become so weak due to the toxic environment, air pollution, and toxic lifestyle. The body, mind, internal immune system, respiratory system, muscles, and nerves have become so weak that they cannot tolerate any diseases and viruses. First, you need to understand and listen to your body and mind. The element that joins your mind and body is your breath. If you are not breathing in a proper way and not getting healthy air and oxygen then you can become more vulnerable to viruses and diseases. Breathing in a proper way means taking a long and deep breath
Moreover, The environment has become more poisons and people are suffering from many diseases in lack of healthy air. Air pollution has become a crucial issue in this world. And because of this degraded air more viruses are taking place in our respiratory system and in our bodies.
Our political leaders are totally failures to tackle the pollution and pandemics problems. Therefore, in this difficult time, you should take care of yourself. For that, first, you just need to improve your immune system.
You can make your immune system strong and healthy by breathing properly and taking a nutritious diet along with some yoga exercises. Many researchers have proven that deep breathing can heal you physically and mentally. Because when you inhale, your lungs and heart get oxygen, and when you exhale your heart and lungs release carbon dioxide. This transmission of these gases is actually our life. And you just need to take care of this transmission of oxygen and carbon dioxide. For this, you can do some breathing exercises, these breathing exercises called Pranayama in Yogic literature.
To control the breath (Praan) is called Pranayama. There are different types and methods to control the breath. One who can control his breath is the healthiest and happiest person on this earth. The Rishis and Munis in India were aware of their breath and they knew how to take care of the breath and that is why their consciousness was so high and they were the healthiest people.
Kapalbhati Pranayama, Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, Ujjayi, and Om chanting are breathing exercises that can heal you mentally and physically. Even Scientists and medical researchers have proved these breathing exercises as healing exercises.
