This weekend we’re going to explore an aspect of fitness you might not have considered before: breathing.

It may not sound like much of a challenge, but breathing correctly is actually crucial for your bone health and even your posture.

The Alkalizing Rib Cage Expander will show you how to breathe for maximum benefit to build your bones, detoxify your body, and more. And the best part is that you can do it anywhere, anytime.

Why:

What happens when you breathe?

First, your diaphragm muscle contracts, which causes it to move downward and make space for your lungs to expand. They do this with the help of the intercostal muscles between the ribs, which contract to pull your rib cage up and out.

The air you breathe travels into your lungs where it reaches the alveoli (tiny air sacs) at the end of your bronchial tubes. The alveoli have very thin walls, and oxygen passes through them into the surrounding capillaries and into the bloodstream.

Carbon dioxide passes through the alveoli walls, too, and simultaneously moves from the capillaries into the alveoli so you can breathe it out.

That’s the simplified version! It’s really quite a remarkable, detailed process that you perform thousands of times a day…although what I described above is the process involved in deep breathing, which is what we are going to focus on today.

Deep Breathing Alkalizes The Body

Drinking pure water and eating alkalizing foods are vital components of maintaining a slightly alkaline body pH. But here’s a crucial yet little-known fact: for toxins to be removed from the body, they must be combined with oxygen.

In a low-oxygen environment, excess carbon dioxide and lactic acid accumulate, forcing the body to tap into its various reserves and processes to neutralize the acid. For example, amino acids, lymph, and saliva kick in to dilute the acid, as do calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium electrolytes. Your kidneys go into overdrive to filter out the toxic acid, and your blood plasma loads with bicarbonate in an attempt to neutralize it.

If the body still does not get the water and oxygen it needs to remove the toxins, the bones are then robbed of their reserves of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals.

Yet deep breathing can stop this cycle of toxic acid accumulation and the subsequent loss of minerals.

Most People Do Not Breathe Deeply

Deep breathing involves expansion of the entire rib cage, so enough oxygen can enter the lungs. In contrast to abdominal breathing, which is what you do when you sleep or are in a relaxed state, deep breathing is appropriate any time you are alert and active.

The majority of people breathe abdominally almost all the time. And when deep breathing is attempted, most people will use only their chest.

Expanding The Rib Cage Is The Vital Component To Deep Breathing

Your rib cage wraps around your torso, and we rarely consider the back and sides of the rib cage when it comes to breathing. For your lungs to be truly full of life-giving, alkalizing air, the entire rib cage must expand.

If you’ve had poor posture or kyphosis (Dowager’s Hump) for some time, then the muscles in and around your rib cage have likely shortened and lost elasticity.

The Alkalizing Rib Cage Expander will restore the flexibility and strength of these muscles, facilitating chest expansion and good oxygenation.

How:

1. Sit down on a chair or bench with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Put your hands on your sides just above the “floating ribs,” which are at the very bottom of the rib cage and do not attach to the sternum.
3. Relax your back. Ironically, it’s good to allow your back to round out a bit and your shoulders to tip forward slightly, because this keeps you from “chest breathing.”
4. Draw a deep breath and feel your ribs expand under your hands. Keep your chest relaxed.
5. Hold the breath while you pull your abdominal muscles in, pushing the diaphragm up and putting pressure on the full lungs. You should feel your ribs expanding outward.
6. Hold the breath and this position for as long as is comfortable for you.
7. Exhale, feeling your ribs fall inward.
8. Repeat 2 to 4 times – whatever is comfortable for you. You can do this breathing exercise several times a day.

Advanced Version

If you’d like to try the more advanced version of The Alkalizing Rib Cage Expander, here is how to do it:

1. Follow steps 1 through 4 above.
2. When you draw a deep breath, raise your shoulders up while you do so. Take in as much air as you can, and raise your shoulders as high as you can (your hands stay on your sides).
3. Do not draw in your abdominal muscles; simply hold the breath for a few seconds, and then lower your shoulders as you exhale.

As you practice this exercise regularly, your normal, everyday breathing will improve greatly, and your body will be more alkaline. You’ll also be getting rid of bone-damaging toxins.
