The breathing is the first action that we carry out when being born, and the last that we make before dying. The breathing is the mechanism with which we carry out the exchange of gases with the exterior for the maintenance of the life.
To live we need to ingest periodically liquid and solid foods, to build our body and to regenerate the fabrics that go deteriorating.
But the breathing is a feeding that we have to maintain constant in all moment, to be able to continue alive.
We can live about fifty days without eating and not more than two or three without drinking, but without breathing we can die in about five minutes.
The data are symbolic and approximate to compare, but they cannot take like reference.
As essential activity for the life has an involuntary control, so that we don’t forget to carry out it (as the heart contraction, the digestion, etc), because we would put in our danger survival.
But contrary to the involuntary other activities, we can end up influencing in the way of carrying out it according to our will. If we want, we can change the rhythm and the breathing type that we carry out.
On the other hand, our emotions also alter the rhythm of our breathing (for example, like we collapse the breathing when they give us a fright).

The urban life is characterized by a nervous high stress and for a movement lack and physical activity that atrophies our motive capacities.
The lack of physical condition makes that the musculature postural weakens and it is tensed, affecting to our spine, and in consequence to our capacity to move, what deteriorates our quality of life.
On the other hand, in our daily life we unwrap ourselves with a very reduced number of expressions: walking, sitting down, lying down, lifting weights, climbing stairs. They are the expressions with those that we solve the almost whole practices of our daily problems.
If these expressions are carried out in an appropriate way, we will make our easier life, practice and comfortable.
On the other hand, if these expressions are developed in a faulty way, we won’t only be more tired and upset, but rather we will contribute to develop body and articular problems as well as column lesions.
It is very important for the care of our health that we learn how to move with effectiveness, including the correct learning of all these expressions, to prevent lesions.
We will begin an analysis of these activities, looking for the formulas that we consider more appropriate to carry out these movements and postures.
With the knowledge of how to carry out them, and putting some attention, we can incorporate these rules day by day .
In a half term of time the benefits can be perceived: Less fatigue, less tension, less pains, more fluity, more desires of making things and a more comfortable life and happiness.
We will continue…
