When You Breathe Deeply and Fully You Live More Deeply and Fully
When you pump a generous flow of oxygen into your body, every cell becomes more alive! This enables the four main motors of your body – the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys – to operate and perform better. Your miracle-working bloodstream purifies and cleanses every part of the body, including itself. This eliminates toxic wastes as Mother Nature planned and fuel (food) and vital oxygen are carried to every cell in your body.
With ample oxygen your muscles, tendons and joints function more smoothly. Your skin becomes firmer and more resilient and your complexion clearer and glowing. You will radiate with greater health and well-being!

Super Deep Breathing Improves Your Brain
The person who breathes deeply and fully thinks more clearly and sharply. Oxygen stimulates your logic and intelligence. The more deeply and fully you breathe, the greater your power of concentration and the more your creative mind will assert itself. You will also develop greater extrasensory perception within your body, especially the brain. Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, CA, now know that adults do generate new brain cells in the hippocampus, an area in the brain which is responsible for learning and memory. Deep breathing nourishes and fine-tunes the brain and entire body!

The Lungs Are Nature’s Miracle Breathers
Every animal extracts oxygen from the environment in which it lives. Through their gills, fish extract oxygen from water (H2O). Insects get oxygen from the air through alveoli or air cells in individual openings set in segments of their bodies. Worms and other invertebrates breathe through the pores of their skin.
Vertebrate animals, including the human race, have those miracle mechanisms – the lungs. The mechanical equivalent would be a pair of bellows, though the lungs are far more intricate and adaptable.

You Have Lungs – Fill Them Up
Each lung sits perfectly enveloped in a protective elastic membrane, the pleura, whose inner layer is attached to the lung and whose outer layer forms the lining of the thoracic cavity inside the rib cage. One end of each rib is attached to the spinal column, but the front of the rib cage is open. This allows the lungs to expand and contract. When you breathe deeply, filling every air sac, your thoracic cavity expands as your lungs fill with six to ten pints of air. This varies according to body build and size. Lungs occupy from 200 to over 300 cubic inches.

Live Longer Breathing Clean Air Deeply
We advise those who live, work, etc. in smog-ridden, polluted cities to obtain a good air filter. We especially recommend filters which contain charcoal and a high efficiency particulate HEPA air filter. The charcoal removes most of the chemicals and the HEPA filter removes most of the particles. To be effective in an average room, the flow rate through the filter should be over 200 cubic feet of air per minute. The wise motorist will also install an air filter in his car for cleaning the air while driving in airpolluted cities. Auto stores and catalogs usually stock them.
