Deep breathing techniques which increase oxygen to the cell are the most important factors in living a disease free and energetic life… Remember. Where cells get enough oxygen, cancer will not,
cannot occur.“
~Dr. Otto Warburg two time recipient of the Nobel Prize for Medicine
Principle 1
The Power of Deep Breathing
Perfect Breathing — Transform Your Life One Breath at a Time
Lymphatic System
Most of us don’t understand the importance of deep breathing. It is strange that something as simple as breathing properly can have such a profound fundamental impact on our health. How are you breathing right now? Is it shallow and constricted? Deep Breathing is the most important thing you can do for yourself for the rest of your life.
Many of us eat thinking that what we eat is the most important component of energy in the body. The truth is that energy production in the body is 90% breathing and 10% food. It is also crucial to understand that as the body creates energy through breathing, 2% of this process creates Free Radicals under the best of diets. With proper nutrition, these Free Radicals are quickly neutralized. If the body does not have the proper nutrients and minerals, it is like a house with faulty wiring with sparks going everywhere. You are damaging your body and the simple act of living is causing damage to your cells as your system generates an over abundance of Free Radicals with few Antioxidants to destroy them.
Through the practice of deep breathing, you can actually minimize the damage to your DNA and greatly slow down the aging process. All damage to the body is aging, whether it comes from a fall, exposure to toxins or bad eating habits. Aging occurs when the body does not have the ability to create a perfect copy of the cell you injured. DNA contains the bodies blueprint for self repair and is damaged through bad eating habits, accidents or exposure to toxins. It is located in the center of each cell of the human body which is called the nucleus. I will cover the research on this in a post, but suffice it to say that deep breathing is the single most powerful thing you can do to protect the integrity of your DNA. All anti aging is based on this understanding. The primary cause of aging is the Free Radical/Antioxidant balance.
The Body can go weeks without food, days without water … But only minutes without oxygen. You see, like a car, the body needs oxygen to turn food and fat into energy. Oxygen is the key to all electrical activity in the body and is the major component of every cell of the human body. Electricity is the means by which your brain receives information from the cells it controls to maintain the body’s operation. Electricity is also the means by which the body functions. One of these functions is providing the power for DNA to send instructions via our RNA to our signal proteins to conduct repairs. The Body completely replicates itself every two years.
Put another way, we all know that the body is 65% to 75% water, but did you know that water is 90% oxygen by weight? This means that 65% or two thirds of the body is made up of oxygen. The interesting fact is that fat cells do not hold as much oxygen as lean muscle cells as fat is stored fuel. So if you want a long healthy life, you must lose weight and practice Deep Breathing.
By now you should be very excited knowing that you have received pivitol information that really can change your entire life. Deep Breathing is just the 1st principle to longevity. The next step in this principle is developing Breathing Awareness. You need to build a new foundation of awareness which will control how you breathe. Each one of the four principles are game changers in the pursuit of healthy longevity.

How the Lymphatic System integrates
Deep Breathing is also one of the two methods by which you stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is one of those body systems you don’t pay attention to unless something goes wrong. It is a network of tubes connected to five hundred lymph nodes, which drain fluid from the tissues and return it to the bloodstream. Put another way, it is the body’s sewage system and can only be stimulated through exercise or deep breathing. This is unlike the Circulatory System, which has the heart as its pump. The lymphatic system is important to understand because it is basically your immune system, which controls your fluid levels, filters bacteria and houses white blood cells. It is the only way your body draws off toxins, which you will be excreting through exercise and deep breathing. This is why some people whom have a very toxic diet have a healing crisis (coughing sneezing, overall down feeling) for a day or so when they start exercising properly. The lymphatic system is being overloaded with all the stored toxins that were killing off cells.
There is over twice as much lymph fluid in the human body as blood.
As stated, the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump, the only way we can make it work is through exercise and deep breathing. If you encounter an overload, increase your water or oolong tea intake, which you will be learning about in Principle 2 — Water Rich Foods until it subsides. Finally Deep Breathing burns fat, builds muscle and helps you lose weight fast. The exercise below (all three sessions) should take about 15 minutes daily in total . Soon you won’t even notice when your doing it. This is the most important thing you can do to live long, stay strong and healthy. The picture on the left shows the arteries, veins and lymphatic tubes.
Take ten deep breaths three times a day. Inhale slowly until full, stop and count to two, then exhale at least as twice as long as you inhale. Do this at your desk, at lunch or while watching TV. Practice this until deep breathing is habitual and done without thinking.

Very impressive and thougth provoking. Came to know about — Lymph volume — for the first time.
Nice and helpful reading.
Thanks much for this nicely written post.
