If you’ve been trying to lose weight, you know how extremely difficult it can be. Counting calories, strenuous exercises that leave you panting for breath, and spending hundreds of dollars on weight loss plans hoping each time “this” one will work for you. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Of course, for most of us, shedding unwanted pounds does require watching our calories and getting of the sofa. But the good news is if you want to achieve and maintain your ideal body weight, you don’t have to spend another penny on special diets or run a marathon to do so.

What’s the secret? Simple. Learn about yoga breathing. When you apply the simple principles of this doctrine, you will address your weight problems on a whole new level.

Who knew losing weight could be as easy as breathing?

You discover how to develop a level of consciousness that includes the mind, body and spirit. Yoga breathing becomes an excellent tool for finally melting away unwanted pounds.

Learn about yoga breathing to dramatically speed up your metabolism

Consistent application of the exercises – which take 5 minutes a day or less – will allow you to change your body and metabolism without strenuous exercise and dieting to distract you. No two people approach poses and yoga breathing in exactly the same way. That’s because each person works within his or her own level of comfort. Once you become aware of your individual needs, you’ve taken the first step to using yoga as an effective weight loss tool.

During yoga the asanas, or postures, affect certain glands in a manner that causes them to increase the rate of hormone secretion. This is especially true with the thyroid, as it is instrumental in regulating body metabolism. Two asanas specifically designed to stimulate the thyroid are the shoulder stand and the fish posture. These exercises also increase fat metabolism meaning stored fat now contributes to muscle and is also burned away as energy. So not only do you lose weight, you’ll have a sleeker, more defined muscle tone. A sluggish energy level becomes energized.

Certain asanas massage the organs in the abdomen, which in turn release stored fat tissue. Other asanas correct metabolic imbalances by influencing the endocrine and nervous system.

These imbalances are one of the prime causes of obesity. Once you learn about yoga breathing, and practice the exercises regularly, you’ll also be able to breathe in a manner that allows the body cells, including fat cells, to increase the amount of oxygen they receive. Oxidation then burns up the fat cells.

And when you continue to practice yoga, you gradually burn more and more calories. Not only that, yoga calms anxiety, which is often is the culprit for overeating.

Years ago, Tom Long was referred by an associate to a Korean acupuncturist/herbalist named Sung Baek, who had developed an all-natural blend to help treat patients that had asthma or breathing problems, giving it to them as a supplement to his acupuncture treatments. “The formula worked miracles,” said Long. ” I’m a runner and I loved it.”

 

Long loved it so much that he approached Baek about starting a worldwide business so that everyone – not just Baek’s private patients – would have access to its phenomenal benefits. Thusly, AirAide™ was born. “My wife and I started going to marathon and triathalon expos, just giving the product away,” recalled Long.

 

It was at one of these marathon expos that an elite runner from Kenya by the name of Benson Cheruiyot approached Long and asked about AirAide™. “I gave him some to try. He went for a run, came back to the booth, and said, ‘This really works!'”Long told him to do his training under AirAide™ to see if it helped with his next run, which would be the Houston Marathon.

 

A month and a half before the marathon was to take place, Cheruiyot called Long and informed him that he’d lost his agent and wasn’t going to be able to come to the States to run. Long offered to fly him in from Kenya himself, all expenses paid via an AirAide™ sponsorship. After regularly taking AirAide™, Cheruiyot placed second in the marathon, shaving three minutes off of his best time and winning $ 17,000 in the process.

 

Regarding Long’s generosity and the resulting prize winnings, Cheruiyot told Long that he had impacted many families in Kenya. “He told me he coaches this running team of about twenty people back home, where they all live and train together. The money he won in the Houston Marathon would buy food, clothes, shoes, and other supplies for the team. It made me want to do more.”

 

Long started the Kenyan Running Team through AirAide™ to be able to support Cheruiyot and his runners. He is looking for other like-minded companies who want to get involved in the cause.  “I want to give back. Since then, I’ve met many more Kenyans. They speak in Civic Clubs and Running Clubs. They’re there to educate people in the States about what’s it like to be an elite marathon runner from Kenya.”

 

Every member of the Kenyan Running Team uses AirAide™. This year’s winners of both the Boston and the Baltimore marathons, Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot and David Rutoh, respectively, were taking AirAide™, and Rutoh set a new record in the process.

 

From athletes looking to increase their performance to patients seeking relief from respiratory problems, AirAide™ is the all-natural way to increase lung capacity and build more energy, endurance, stamina, and strength. AirAide™ also helps to counteract the effects of smog, allergens, and other environmental irritants.

 

AirAide™ is a blend of 23 different herbs, which can be broken down into three basic categories:

 

1) Vaporizing action, which opens up the lungs.

2) Expectorant action, which flushes out toxic build-up.

3) Anti-inflammatory action, which soothes and relaxes any irritations.

 

AirAide™ contains no chemical ingredients, steroids, or other harmful additives. The formulation has been used by holistic and homeopathic professionals for years and has shown zero adverse effects. As Long summed it up: “AirAide™ was designed for anybody that breathes.”

Today I want you to take a good hard think about your breathing. Correct breathing is essential. The process of breathing or respiration [technical name] allows your body to use oxygen in the air to convert sugars and fats into energy that your muscles need to work. If your muscles don’t receive the oxygen they need to cope with the demands of fast paced long distance running then you simply won’t be able to keep up.

As a general rule of thumb, your running pace needs to be that which allows you to almost talk whilst you are running and your breathing should be slow and deep apposed to short and fast, the slower and deeper you breath the better. As your fitness increases your body will adapt to become more efficient so better utilising the oxygen that you breathe in. However to begin with you need to give it all the oxygen you can.

This is actually a lot harder than it sounds. I found it very difficult to change my breathing pattern when I learned this technique, I could do it for a few minutes and then I would fall back into bad habits.

What I realised is that I was making a big mistake, I was breathing deeper but also trying to run faster straight away. BIG NO NO. Start off a little slower than your usual running pace and see how breathing deeper feels and then slowly and I do mean slowly build up to speed.

I think you’ll find that your breathing slows down but you feel better, you will feel more comfortable running, your muscles won’t feel so tired because they will have access to more oxygen allowing them to convert more sugar and fat into energy to efficiently deal with your running pace. What this technique should do over time is allow you to run at your old normal pace very easily which gives you the opportunity to push yourself to a new higher and faster running pace, simply because you muscles can now deal with it.

IT’S THAT SIMPLE.
