Tips - Breathing and the Heart
"Most doctors regard testing the lungs with ones ability to exhale a certain amount of air in one second (FEV1) as a useful index of the severity and progression of heart failure once it has begun. But they don't realize they could also use it to detect patients with vulnerability to heart disease". Dr. Wm B. Kannel, Professor of Medicine, Boston University1.
Healthy stress is a major factor in heart health. Distress, or harmful stress is a major factor in heart disease. The way you breathe is critical to your stress responses, healthy heart function and longevity.

2. Don't hold your breath.
Primary O2 deficiency causes an O2 deficit in the cell wall cells of the venous capillary end, which then swell and thereby lead to a narrowing of the vessel with reduced blood flow.*
People with an unbalanced breathwave are oxygen and life-force starved; they are often nervous or anxiety prone and suffer from unnecessary worries; they have low energy, experience depression, confusion, chronic tension, powerlessness and physical ills.
3. Ticklish?
If you are pressure ticklish (not the light touch type of ticklishness), in your rib/chest, belly crotch or pelvic area, it is tension. No tension, no ticklishness. Tension creates a restriction of easy deeper breathing.
