Destress and Breathe and Exercise

slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety

Can breathing exercises help strengthen the lungs against Covid- 19?

As per an article from aarp.org, strengthening the lungs with deep breathing is good for pulmonary health by clearing out the lungs to help reduce the risk of infection and pneumonia.  Exercise does the same thing.  Aerobic exercise helps to keep your heart, lungs and circulatory system healthy.  Aerobic exercise means with oxygen which includes brisk walking, swimming, running, cycling, dancing any form of exercise that elevates the heart and forces oxygen into the lungs.

So does exercise and deep breathing protect you against Covid 19?  Experts cannot totally agree, but according to research Covid 19 attacks the lungs and if deep breathing and exercises are beneficial to increase lung health, why not do them?

Slow controlled breathing can help lower your heart rate, your blood pressure and ease anxiety. 

So, take another breath and relax or go for a walk.

 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air ( not without purpose) But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection (discipline)…1 Corinthians 9 verses 26 and 27a

Stress and Life

encouraging words makes him feel good.

Life is a road we must travel

Life is a road. Sometimes the road is rough and as we travel on it, we can get anxious or weighed down by the many bumps and curves.

Anxiety is a natural response to stress which at times can lead to fear and apprehension having a sense of impending danger, panic or doom.

The Bible says, “heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop; but a good word maketh it glad”. Proverbs 12 verse 25

Plainly spoken, “anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but encouraging words makes him feel good”.

Sometimes talking to someone or even saying kind words to others helps to lift the spirit.

We all need to feel good and encouraged as we walk the path of life.

Destressing life = use encouraging words
