More on Breathing

The most basic element of our health, and therefore our sleep is breathing. Our Breathing should be complete. The breath should both expand our rib cage out, and move our diaphram down. The in breath fills us completely...we are so full there is no room for anything else...naturally the air must leave...we allow it to go...slowly, slipping away. When we are completely empty a vacuum is created and naturally the air rushes in.

Practice this way of breathing consciously until it becomes unconscious, until we do it in our sleep.

Healthy ideas

I'm no doctor, so all the health stuff I write is just my own ideas, or derived from stuff I read or heard. I wouldn't advise taking any of the things I write too seriously. It's just ideas for thought.

If a doctor reads any of my ideas, perhaps you can comment on what is hogwash and what might have some scientific evidence to substantiate it.

But let's at least think about, what is healthy? and what is not?

In fact that's one of my ideas about diet. It seems that most of them work for a bit, at least. Some of the ideas I've heard for dieting are opposites of others, yet they are often stated as working, but those who try them.

I lose weight if I eat a vegan diet, but doesn't the Atkins diet say to eat high protein, which often means meat. Both of these diets work for different people. So it could be just that different people respond to different diets. Or what if just paying attention to what we eat has us so careful about what we eat that we eat better and less? Smaller quantity, and less sugar? It could be?
