Action Step: Ribcage Mobility

We are Aging Intelligently, one step at a time.

A rib cage that expands and contracts allows more air into the lungs. More air allows for better mobility, flexibility, and clearer thinking because adequate oxygen is getting to the brain. Your brain needs oxygen to function.

Before you eat,

Take a deep breath in, hold your breath for one second, then exhale slowly. Breathe out for longer than you breathe in. Time yourself for 60 seconds. Try to take no more than 4 to 6 breaths in the sixty seconds.  

Only then, eat.

This adds a habit you already do (eating) to a habit that you want to form (ribcage mobility).

That’s Aging Intelligently
