Heart Healthy Tip #3, Breathe!
Concluding our healthy heart focus, there is one thing our bodies stop doing when under stress, breathe! Its’ often something we don’t realize or give much thought to, but can be crucial to relaxing and relieving stress. Meditation is another good source but you need a quiet place to sit with music. This simple technique is one I love because you can do it anywhere, you don’t need any equipment, and you feel instant results. It acts as a natural tranquilizer and instantly calms the nervous system. I learned this technique years ago from Dr. Andrew Weil and it has become a daily tool for me. Just follow these directions and it will soon become second nature.
