Notions About Breathing.

Another Harley street specialist
or possibly ii was great French
specialist-Harley street and France
are two fertile fields for the foreign
correspundent-has announced that
all the fat folks have to do If they
want to grow thin. or all the skinny
ones need do to stay thin. is breathe
deeply. Now, please don't push or
shove. folks. There is plenty of air
for all: you may take your time
about it. I fully approve of breath
ing. Indeed. l am convinced that
most people don't do enough of it for
the good of their health. But I have
q few gallons of cold water to dash
over this Harley street or this French
fantasy Briefly, then, let me say
that, fat or thin, you may breathe
yourself dizzy without much risk of
any appreciable alteration of your
state of nutrition.
Deep breathing is the dotard's de-
light. Sc far as any beneficial or
healthful effect is concerned, it is
akin to hosting oneself with ones
own boot straps. 1t is stunt based
on fishiology.
tist discovers that deep breathing
will grow hair on a bald head or at
any rate keep hair growing on a
head which might otherwise become
bald
Deep breathing is absolutely harm
less if accompanied with the normal
physiological activity-exercise. AS
an exercise in itself it is far inferior
to a. walk around the room or a run
upstair The only kind of deep
breathing that may be considered
heaIthful or beneficial, with due re-
gard for physiology, is that which
naturally or automatically goes with
vigorous exercise. And my advice to
the health seeker is to enjoy the
exercise but pay no attention what
ever to the breathing. Breathing is
an involuntary, automatic function
and is best left to regulate itself or
rather to be regulated by the in
voluntary or automatic nervous sys-
tenn over which we have no conscious
control.
One can. of course. breathe more
deeply than usual by special effort
and attention for very limited time
a few minutes. But inevitably, If this
increased breathing is a mere con-
scious effort, unaccompanied with ac-
tive general exercise. there follows a
period of shallow breathing which
compensates for the hyperpnoea or
excessive breathing, SO that In the
long run you are precisely where you
were at the beginning. You've gained
nothing whatever (the trifiing amount
| of exercise involved in the breathing
effort doesn't count). 1t isn't physio-
logical. 1t isn't sense.
