We do it all day, every day. But simple tweaks to your breathing can boost your wellbeing.\u00a0Joanna Turner, a health coach from Sydney, tell us how she lost weight through correct breathing.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “It took me a while to hear the message about breathing that everyone kept talking about. I was ‘hearing’ the message but not actually doing it. After a stressful day at\u00a0work\u00a0(I was formerly a corporate accountant), I would literally say, ‘I haven’t even breathed today!’<\/p>\n I am a firm believer that\u00a0stress\u00a0makes you fat. The right breathing \u2013 proper belly breaths \u2013 is a quick way to calm stress, and reduces all that cortisol that’s pouring in to our body (when you’re in the ‘fight or flight’ stress response mode).<\/p>\n I have a new career as a health and life coach, and now actually teach my clients how to breathe. Breathing the right way has calmed me down and helped me lose weight.<\/p>\n So far I’ve lost 25 kg and find myself spending less time doing excessive long-distance sports, like triathlons and half-marathons, and spend more time doing yoga,\u00a0Pilates, weights and short HIIT-style (high intensity interval training) workouts for fast results. This change has given me better results, in much less time.”<\/p>\n For more information on better breathing, see our\u00a04 breathing techniques to reduce stress\u00a0or browse more\u00a0weight loss\u00a0tips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We do it all day, every day.
