Breathing & Chest Expansion 101
Many of us are shallow breathers and we don’t even realize it. Shallow breathing is the act of breathing more from the chest area not the diaphragm. If you are breathing properly, your diaphragm (lower rib cage/upper belly) should rise as you inhale and contract as you exhale. Shallow breathing can rob your body of the precious oxygen it craves resulting in low energy, depression, sluggish brain, and health problems like sleep disorders, heart troubles and other diseases.
