"Secondly, let's address the acid and alkaline condition of our body. An acidic body is low in oxygen. An alkaline body is high in oxygen. The food we eat determines to a large effect whether our body is acidic or alkaline.
Third I want to address stress. Stress tightens our muscle fibers and restricts the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Stress and suffocation are closely related. If we learned how to fill our lungs fuller and empty our lungs more completely, we could easily double our energy and endurance."---Dr. Hohn
This week has been a busy and super frustrating week at work. So i was surprised to see how much difference deep breathing can do to release my stress. When I stress out, I can feel my chest and shoulder tighten, and feels like there's something building up inside. And the more tighten I feel, the more upset I tend to be. It's a vicious cycle. But all that is gone when I do deep breathing and fill up my lung to the max. Instantly, I feel more at ease and any negative emotion would subside. Amazing how little things like that can turn my mood around.

lol, funny. Although it's quite difficult to take a deep breath and cry at the same time. :)
