Peter Martinez on 08 Apr 19By Dr. Rita Khanna 'Breath is life; hence the better we breathe the better we live.' Of course we all know this, but we don't bother much about it and don't care as often as necessary.' To breathe slowly is to prolong one's youth and one's life.' So say the Yogic texts which caution us to breathe as if, at birth, only a fixed and immutable number of breaths had been allotted to us. If this is so, then each slow breath we take preserves our precious respiratory credit balance and prolongs our existence.
