STRENGTH AND HEALTH

BREATHE PROPERLY (Continued from page 11)

to neglect their diaphragms.

In her own wondrous way, nature has inherently taught us how to use the diaphragm. Infants breathe correctly; so do sleeping people. Growing children breathe naturally. You will notice that they breathe from the diaphragm-easily-with deep breaths because their bodies have not accumulated the muscular tensions as older persons. All of us have watched children expressing their feelings with their bodies. They hold their breath and then scream with anger or pain. They heave a deep sigh-for contentment or satisfaction.

When we grow up or wake up we allow inhibitions to restrict free diaphragmatic action. Over the years many such strains and inhibitions make inroads on the normal pattern of our breathing until by the time we are adults most of us have long since ceased to breathe the way we are intended to. It is at this point that a minimum of exertion causes shortness of breath.

Most of the faulty breathing stems from faulty posture. Conversely enough, many people stand badly because they breathe badly. When chests are concave and torsos slump, the first point of attack is the breath. Properly inflated lungs right the body just as proper ballast rights a ship.

The old Army command, "shoulders. back, gut sucked in," is definitely not recommended for proper diaphragmatic breathing, as this posture forces one to breathe by raising the upper part of the chest leaving the diaphragm doing a minimum of what it should. To attain the proper position-balance a book on your heard, and you will immediately see how much easier you. breathe with a naturally balanced position. In this position your weight no longer slumps down and cramps your diaphragm. This vital area is free to breathe. You will see what appears to be breathing from the stomach. Actually what has happened is that, through this position, you have liberated your diaphragm, and it is descending as your lungs fill to capacity-as they should. Thus, your abdomen moves with the inhaling and exhaling-which is as it should be.

Now, if you're curious as to whether or not you breathe correctly, unbuckle your belt and slip it up a few inches, halfway between waistline and bust line. Exhale and pull the belt in as tight as you can. Now take a whopper of a breath and see how many notches you can expand. It is here that chest expansion should be measured-instead of under the armpits as your old gym instructor believed.

Don't try to expand by swelling out in front. Expansion should come not only in front but across the back and sides. To see how much rear expansion you get, put your hands at the small of your back, thumbs forward, middle fingers touching behind. Give yourself a tight squeeze, exhaling as much as you can. Then inhale and see how far you can force your hands apart. As your lungs expand, the bony cage should expand all around.

Your physician will tell you that ordinary breathing should be uncon-

scious, but deep-breathing exercises should be employed every day. People who are shut in all day may partly compensate for the evils of indoor living by stepping out of doors or standing before an opened window-and taking a dozen deep breaths whenever the opportunity presents itself.

We are so accustomed to using only the tops of our lungs that we get the idea they end at the bust line. But they don't. On either side of the ribs. they extend down to the waistline. Unless you constantly make use of this important lower-lung section in your breathing, you are a poor risk for the insurance companies.

an-

The public speakers or radio nouncers know this secret of deep breathing; as you will well see by watching them breathing deeply as they are waiting for the signal that they "are on."

Our main cause of fatigue is the residue of carbon dioxide in our lungs which we never quite expel when we breathe shallowly. One proof of this can be easily observed the next time you are about to climb a pair of steps. Inhale deeply while making the first two steps, exhale while making the next two-thus establishing a rhythm. Two steps inhale, two steps exhaleand you'll find that you will ascend the stairs far more easily than ever before!

The psychoanalyst says it is quite possible to control your mood by your breathing. If you are nervous, excited, angry-just breathe deeply. The calming effect is a miracle. But when we consider that the brain is chiefly nourished by its continuous blood supply,

can plainly visualize how vital proper breathing is to our mental activity. If you are faced with a problem requiring deep concentration, try taking a few really deep breaths. You will clear your lungs and blood stream of fatigue-producing carbon dioxide, and simultaneously give your brain an energizing jolt of fresh oxygen. This will supply mental refreshment and better equip you to handle your brain twister.

The next time you feel low, or are faced with a particularly tough problem, sit relaxed-but straight-in a chair. Let your breath out slowly, but fully, as though allowing air to escape from a balloon. Then, without straining, refill your lungs with a deep slow breath. Let your breath out-as though a long sigh-pause and repeat the gentle inhalation. You will be pleasantly surprised by the stimulated and energetic feeling that has replaced your tired, tense mood.

Another example of the importance of supplying your body with sufficient oxygen can be found heart attack cases. Usually heart attacks are preceded by sharp pains in the chest. At the first pain the person "catches" his breath, and begins breathing shallowly in the belief that shallow breathing will lessen the pain. Actually, if the person would take deep breaths-ignoring the physical discomfort which he cannot prevent anyway-the probabilities are that he might prevent or at least. reduce the attack. The deep breaths would supply the critically needed oxygen that the heart is signalling for, and any doctor will confirm the fact that oxygen is probably the most im(Continued on page 50)
