As you just learned, chest-based breathing doesn`t use all the real estate in the lungs; moreover, it keeps you from drawing in the oxygen you need for energy, in order to be productive, to heal, and to sleep well at night.

Got neck or Shoulder pain? When you`re breathing trough the top of your body, you`re using neck and shoulder muscles that aren´t meant to be primary breathing muscles. Hence, no matter how many massages you have, how many ergonomic chairs you buy, you`ll continue to have neck and shoulder discomfort until you change your breathing back to the right way. The good news: once you you change your breathing, your neck and shoulder stiffness will get better and stay better.

Watch any resting animal breathe, and you`ll witness the perfect breath: rhythmic, efficient, with the belly expanding and contracting. Young children, tough still developing postural muscles, will usually breathe low in their bodies, using their diaphragms. Yet very few people sustain that lower-body breathe to adulthood. Bad posture, injury and just plain laziness lead them to the mediocre-at-best breathing they practice now. In essence, they`re breathing the way our ancestors did when they were faced with fear, anxiety or other temporary situations. Unfortunately, we`ve transformed these short-terms solutions into long-term abnormal breathing patterns.

You used to breathe right: Ask most five year-old to inhale and they expand their bellies without thinking twice. Ask most ten year-olds, and the beautiful, perfect horizontal breath has disappeared. What happened? Someone teased them about their belly and they started the habit of gut-sucking. Then came the visit to the doctor, when a stethoscope was put on their upper chest and they were asked to breathe (ah, the lungs must be there, no?) They started sitting – a lot. Maybe they took a tumble that led to some kind of torso pain.. and the combination of all these changes, encouraged by adult modeling of bad breathing, left them overusing their shoulders and underusing their diaphragm to breathe.

What`s messing up your breathing? See if you answer yes to any of the following questions:

1. Do you sit in a front of computer or in a car or a truck for work?

2. Do you wear compression garments, belts, support pantyhose or a bulletproof vest?

3. As a child, did you live with any type of fear, anxiety, or worry over a period of time, even if you think you weren`t traumatized by it?

4. Do you text throughout the day?

5. Do you carry a bag, knapsack or purse?

6. Have you ever had pneumonia or recurring bouts of bronchitis?

7. Have you ever smoked or lived with a smoker?

8. Have you ever lived or spent time in a city with high levels of smog or pollution, or lived someplace with noxious smells?

9. Do you have a deviated septum or do you snore?

10. Do you have or have you ever had neck, shoulder, or back injuries?

11. Are you over the age of 29?

How many questions did you say yes to? Even just one of these can lead to under-breathing.

The fact is, people use very little of all that lung space. That´s because they are lazy breathers – taking short, shallow breaths from the chest, filling only the very top portion of the lung with air. Then they do not exhale fully (with most breaths, 30 percent of stale air stays in the body). A rigid, inflexible thoracic cavity and rib cage, plus poor posture, also contribute to sluggish breathing. The good news? While your parents (or, more accurately, their genes) are responsible for the size of your lungs, that doesn`t mean you can`t pump up their power.

Sure enough, it seems that everyone has a solution for increasing oxygen in the body, from mouth devices that restrict airflow, oxygen tents, and chlorophyll drops, to drinking ionized water or huffing canned oxygen. On the market, you`ll also find supplements promising to improve the ability of reds blood cells to bind with oxygen. While some have validity, others don´t, so consider this: You can most certainly add oxygen to your blood, but the boost it gives you – if it does – is fleeting. Why not simply improve the way you breathe? And if you`re breathing wrong all the time, shouldn`t the first step be to correct this?

Imagine needing only two breaths instead of ten in order to catch your breath. And being able to push yourself more during your workouts and recover more quickly afterward. And your energy level will naturally be higher. And you`ll be able to think more clearly and recall more precisely. That`s the promise of optimal oxygen intake.
