Staying healthy with that perfect figure today is as easy as breathing. Put simply everyday morning, wake up to 30minutes of breathing exercises and you will start noticing a difference in those extra pounds around your waist. Further more you will get rid of all the antacids, lower your blood pressure, improve your nervous system along with an overall feeling of well being.

Breathing exercises are a type of yoga called “Pranayaam” from ancient Indian practices which have been tried by more than million families’ world over with effective results that show up in less than a week of trying. In all there are seven to nine different exercises that can be done but the main one is called “Kapaalbharti” which basically needs you to exhale mouthfuls of air rhythmically with medium speed and frequency. There are numerous CDs available online also to help where in a number of masters demonstrate the same.

The medical principle applied in these exercises is simple, while you concentrate on exhaling air at a given rate you at the same time are inhaling air in the form of oxygen. This oxygenation or respiration in the body likewise activates the biochemical processes that break down fat to provide energy and hence one loses weight. This is experienced while doing the exercises as usually one starts feeling warm or may even start perspiring.

Another exercise that helps reduce stress and improve the nervous system is called “Anulomb Vilomb” where in one needs to inhale air from one nostril and exhale through the other and vice versa. To make it effective the use of fingers, left hand thumb to block the left nostril while inhaling or exhaling from the right and the second and third fingers of the left hand to block the right nostril while inhaling or exhaling from the left. Another note will be to keep inhaling so as to fill the lungs completely with air and similarly exhale to empty the lungs completely. Within a matter of minutes one can feel its soothing effects. Again numerous CDs are available on “Pranayaam” demonstrating the same.

Lastly drinking hot water with lemon juice also facilitates weight loss as the hot water catalyzes the biochemical reactions that convert fat deposits to energy and lemon is a source of vitamin C which also helps in the same reaction.

Remember just invest 30 to 45 minutes daily morning and in a weeks time check out the difference, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the result on your weight, waist and overall well being. So stay fit mentally and physically with that perfect look!!
