Super Power Breathing Detoxifies and Purifies Your Blood
The carbon dioxide collected from all parts of the body gives the blood a blueish color when it is returned through the veins to the heart. There it enters the right auricle, the heart’s upper chamber. After the auricle fills with blood, the valve into the right ventricle (lower chamber) opens, allowing the blood to pass into the ventricle. When the valve closes, the ventricle’s strong muscles contract, sending blood to the lungs.
As blood travels through the capillary network in the lungs’ air sacs, it discharges its load of carbon dioxide. It turns a healthy, bright red again as it absorbs the vital, life-giving oxygen before it immediately returns to the left auricle of the heart. From there the blood flows into the left ventricle and by similar valve action is pumped vigorously into the body’s largest artery, the aorta. Leaving the aorta, the blood then travels throughout the body via a vast arterial network – taking its life-giving oxygen and nutrients to every cell of the entire body to keep you healthy.
It is the shorter or lesser circulation – from the heart to the lungs and back – that is so vital to detoxifying and purifying the bloodstream. If the lungs are only partially filled with air, only part of the bloodstream can be cleansed. The blood which passes through the capillaries of empty air sacs cannot get rid of its carbon dioxide waste and cannot pick up oxygen. So, instead of carrying a full quota of life-giving oxygen back to the cells of the body, the bloodstream returns with a mixture of fresh oxygen and a residue of toxic poisons. As this sluggish process continues, the proportion of carbon dioxide buildup increases, causing health problems.
FILL YOUR LUNGS WITH SUPER, LIFE-GIVING OXYGEN
Breath Expansion Test: Before you begin your Bragg Super Power Breathing Program, perform this simple test. Exhale fully and measure your deflated chest with a tape measure. Take a deep breath and measure again. After a month of practicing these exercises, take this test again. You will be amazed by how much more super, life-giving oxygen fills your lungs when you practice Bragg Super Power Breathing.
