BREATHING

Do you breathe deeply to better
your health? The best way is to in
hale by two shifts rather than by
a long deep breath, says Thomas R.
Gaines. He is an expert on the
subject; trains Ney York policemen
in breathing.
Inhale with two shifts, exhale
with one movement of the lungs.
This is the Gaines method.
More important is to breathe
deeply whenever you think of it.,
regardless of way. Get fresh air
in to and stagnant air out of the
deep recesses of the lungs.
