Tips to healthy breathing

I have some healthy breathing tips to share, here it goes:

We have left, right nose, is that the same for inhale and exhale? Actually they are different, can feel the difference; right side represent the sun, left side represent the moon.

When having headache, try to close right nose and use your left nose to do your breathing, about 5 min, headache will be gone.

If you feel tired, do it the opposite round, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is fresh again. Right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily, left side belongs to cold.

Most of the girls breathe with their left nose, so their heart gets cold easily. Most of the guys breathe with their right nose, so they get angry easily

Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right?
If left is faster, you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refresh quickly This can be taught to kids, but the effect will be better if apply by elders.

I used to have headache, it was so painful, go to doctor, doctor told me: it will be all right if you married! (All audients laugh), doctor does not bullshit, what he said is supported with proofs. That time, every night I am having headache problem, not able to study, I did take medicine, but that is not a good way.

One night, I sit down and close my right nose and breathe with left nose, less than one week, my headache problem is gone! I continue to do it one month, from that night until today, headache does not attack me anymore.

This is what I experienced myself, I told others, if headache, can try this way, because this is effective for me. Many people have tried and it works for them as well. This is a natural therapy, not like medicine, taking for long term will get side effect. So, why not try it out?
Always breathing your body can feel very relax.

Wish everyone well and healthy, and advice people must do good and act good

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates and fats are energy-giving nutrients. Spare protein not needed for growth or repair can also be broken down and used for energy.

Energy is needed for activity, but even when we are resting, we need energy. For instance, the body needs energy to remain warm, for the hearth to pump blood around the body, and for the lungs to take in air.

The energy value of foods is measured in a unit of heat called the calorie. Fat contains twice as many calories as carbohydrates and protein.

Carbohydrates are made by plants from carbon dioxide and water. This process is called photosynthesis and uses energy from the sun.

After digestion, carbohydrates are converted into glucose, a simple sugar. This glucose is passed to all parts of the body for use as energy.

If people eat more carbohydrates than they use as energy, the spare carbohydrates is stored in the body as fat.

Researchers have discovered that fats affect the amount of a substance in the blood called cholesterol. Cholesterol in the blood can cause heart disease. As a result of this, fat should be eaten less in our daily diet as to maintain our health.

Protein

The word protein actually comes from the Greek word meaning' I am first '. It is the first and most important nutrient in our diet, and we cannot live without it.

All living things, both plants and animals, need protein to grow. Children are still growing, and need protein to build up the millions of body cells which form muscles, skin, nerves, and body organ. Although adults have stopped growing, they still need protein to replace and renew worn-out or damaged body cells.

When the skin is cut, new cells must be formed to heal the wound. If more protein is eaten than the body needs for growth and  repair, the spare protein is broken down and used for energy.

Protein is found in all living things, plants and animals. Some foods are better sources of protein than others. Animal foods which are good sources of protein include meat, fish, cheese, eggs, and milk.

Vegetable foods which are good sources of protein include the seeds of plants such as peas, beans, cereals, nuts, and rice.

Swine flu

Swine Influenza(swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virused(H1N1 subtype) that caused regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but infections can and do happen.
Swine flu viruses have been reported to spread from person to person, but in the past, this transmission was limited and not sustained beyond three people.
Spread of this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth nose.
Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symtoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.
First and most important: wash your hands. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. Avoid contact with people who are sick
