Scientific Studies on Deep Breathing

So, you have decided to spend a few more minutes at Oohoi to check about studies on
deep breathing. If you came to this page via the proper link (i.e. from the
Breathing Technique page) I hope I don't have to do much to convince you or teach you about deep breathing. If you come to this page via a search engine and are just interested in the clinical studies that's related to deep breathing, we have a few examples for you. Let's see what can deep breathing - or shallow breathing ( AKA - lack of oxygen) could do for our body:

Cancer and Oxygen Intake
Dr. Otto Warburg, director of Max Planck Institute and a Nobel Prize
winner had studied the effect of oxygen on cells. What did he found?
He discovered that normal cells could be turned into a malignant one
simply by lowering the amount of oxygen available to these cells. (I
repeat this from the
Breathing Technique page)
More on Cancer and Oxygen Intake
A study on the relationship between oxygen and malignant cells was also published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (1953) by Dr. Harry Goldblatt. His experiment was done on rat species that has not been known to contract cancer. He took cells from these newborn rats and divided these cells into 3 groups. Then he put them in glass jars and deprived one of the group oxygen occasionally, about 30 minutes at a time. After a few weeks many cells from this group had died. Some have changed their structure to a malignant or cancerous one. The other 2 groups remained normal.
PMS and Depression
If you think that those are dinasour-age research, let's try to see more recent ones.
Alice Domar, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School found that deep diaphragmatic breathing and other mind-body technique could significantly reduce symptoms of severe PMS and depression. Other studies have shown that menopausal women who learned deep breathing were able to reduce the frequency of hot flushes by half.
Fertility
At the same time, Alice Domar's studies have also found that deep breathing used alongside other mind-body technique can also promote fertility. In one case study, 132 women with infertility took a course in deep breathing, stress management and lifestyle changes. After their course, a surprising 42 % of these women conceived within 6 months.
So, can we get a healthier body without the use of drugs? You bet! Things as simple as correct breathing and lifestyle changes can help the body, naturally.
Toxins Elimination
At Santa Barbara, a lymphologist by the name of Dr. Jack Shields found that deep diaphragmatic breathing could accelerate the process of toxin elimination from the body by as much as 15 times.
You do not need to be a scientist to sense that the faster the body get rid of toxins, the better will it function.
..Yes, we know our pages talk very little about deep breathing. I will see if I can add more information, but before you go, you must learn the second most important thing in establishing health -
The Healthy Eating Habit. Why does it matter? Because only few people can do it consistently or correctly. If you really desire health, check what we have to offer for you. If you just want to study health, but not to implement it, you journey, sadly should end right here.
Let's check the
healthy eating habit.
