Why Breathing Right is So Important

Why Breathing Right is So Important

If you’ve ever felt short of breath or experienced tightness in your chest, you’ll know just how uncomfortable it can be when your breathing is impaired. Of course, most people take breathing for granted but few of us are doing it ‘right’. How you breathe has a major impact on your physical health and your emotional well-being, even if you don’t realize it.

How Does Breathing Affect the Body?

Your breathing has a direct impact on your blood pressure and your heart rate. If you’ve ever noticed how your heart races when you feel anxious, this reaction is often triggered because of a subconscious change in your breathing pattern. When you get nervous or anxious, you take more shallow breaths and, as a result, your heart rate and blood pressure increase.

In addition to this, your breathing impacts how well your muscles are able to function. If you take shallow breaths, rather than deep breaths, you use the muscles surrounding your collarbone and neck, instead of your diaphragm. However, tightness in the muscles or poor posture impairs their ability to function adequately, which can make you feel like you’re not taking in enough air.

Can Breathing Affect the Mind?

Yes. Your emotions can have an impact on your breathing, but the reverse is true too, which is why breathing right is great for mental health. If you’re not breathing properly, it can fuel anxiety, rather than diminish it. This can lead to a vicious cycle where your anxiety affects your breathing and, in turn, your breathing exacerbates your anxiety, often leading to a panic attack.

In addition to this, consistent, short, shallow breaths can make you feel more stressed and overwhelmed. When your blood isn’t filled with oxygen-rich air, it can also cause confusion, which can make you feel even more out of your depth. Furthermore, breathing too rapidly can cause your carbon dioxide levels to drop, which can lead to a feeling of panic, dizziness, faintness, and/or nausea.

How to Optimize Your Breathing

Now you know why it’s so important to breathe‘ right’, you’ll want to do everything you can to optimize your breathing patterns. Firstly, it’s important to ensure that the air you’re breathing in is as fresh and clean as possible. By having air ducts in your home professionally cleaned by DUCTZ, for example, you can ensure the air quality in your property isn’t having a negative impact on your well-being. Similarly, keeping your home well-ventilated will help to ensure you have constant access to fresh air.

Once you’ve taken steps to enhance the air quality, take a look at these top tips for improving your breathing patterns:

1. Keep Your Chest Still

If your chest rises and falls with each breath, it probably means you’re taking shallow breaths. Many people are surprised to learn that your chest doesn’t really need to move in order for you to breathe properly. When you’re learning how to take deep, diaphragmatic breaths, aim to keep your chest as still as you can.

2. Inhale Through Your Nose

Instead of gulping air in through your mouth, aim to inhale slowly through your nose. As you do so, place your hand on your belly and notice how it expands slightly as you draw breath into your body.

3. Exhale Through Your Mouth

When you’re ready to exhale, try to engage your stomach muscles. You can do this by attempting to pull your muscles towards your spine. As you exhale, purse your lips and allow the air to be expelled via your mouth.

Use Your Posture to Enhance Your Breathing

If you have poor posture, you may experience back or neck discomfort, but you may not realize that the way you stand, sit, and move could be affecting your breathing too. If you’re sitting in a hunched-over position, for example, your stomach muscles won’t be able to fully engage as you exhale.

By practicing good posture, you can breathe far more effectively, particularly when you’re learning how to take deep breaths from the diaphragm. When you first start experimenting with new breathing techniques, try to practice will you’re standing up or lying down, rather than sitting. This will help you to activate the appropriate muscles and allow you to feel the difference between taking shallow and deep breaths.

Breathe Mindfully

When you’re used to taking short or shallow breaths, it’s easy to overlook the impact it has on your well-being. However, once you begin to feel the difference that deep breathing makes, you’ll be acutely aware of how good it feels. By taking the time to practice deep breathing techniques every day and by being mindful about your breathing, you can enjoy the physical, mental and emotional benefits it brings.

Moving In With Your Partner: Tips To Make It Easier On Both Of You

Moving In With Your Partner: Tips To Make It Easier On Both Of You

For many couples, a significant step in their relationship is when they decide to move in together. A lot of people who have been there and done it before are going to warn you that this is one of the most challenging but exciting times in your relationship. The chances are, if you have got to that point, you are going to do it anyway.   After all, what is the worst that could happen? 

We can tell you now that no matter how much you love someone and how well you think you will fit together, moving in with each other and learning to share a space, compromise on things, and live with each other’s bad habits can cause some tension. To try to keep things as easy and positive as possible, we share some tips on moving in with your partner.

Learn to let some things go

By this, we mean physically – and emotionally. 

For most couples, moving in together means losing some space, and that means that your shoe collection to rival Carrie Bradshaws might just need cutting down, or his Star Wars Lego collection might just need shelving – permanently. It is a good opportunity to declutter and get rid of anything that you no longer need or use. It also makes it easier, and cheaper, for your moving services. 

In terms of emotionally letting things go – there are going to be things that your partner does that annoy you. Perhaps they leave the lid off the toothpaste or plump the cushions up on the couch when they get up. You need to challenge any big issues but some things, you just have to learn to let go of. As the saying goes, pick your battles. Some are just not worth fighting.

Consider buying versus renting

There are some significant advantages and disadvantages to each of these and it is wise to weigh them up before diving in. While buying a home together gives you much more stability and ownership than renting, it is also a huge financial commitment. Renting is much easier to deal with if you were to separate, although you are not getting the advantage of owning your own property.

Make sure you both have space

When you live together, it can be very easy to fall into the trap of living in each other’s pockets, spending every waking – and sleeping – moment together. That worlds for some couples, but most will benefit from having a little time and space on their own. Do not ditch your friends and hobbies – this gives you valuable time to be your own person.

Divide chores and responsibilities up before you move in

Before you take the step of moving in together, make sure you sort out and talk through who is responsible for what, so that chores and responsibilities are shared evenly. One person being responsible for everything can cause tension and arguments, so it is better to sort it out well before it hits that point.

Home Maintenance You Should Never Put Off

Home Maintenance You Should Never Put Off

Home maintenance and repairs can be time-consuming, expensive, and boring, so it’s easy to decide some problems can be safely ignored until you feel like getting round to sorting them out. Unfortunately, by putting off these repairs, the problems can get worse, making them more difficult and expensive to put right. Here are the home maintenance tasks that you should never put off.

Concrete Cracks

A small crack in any kind of concrete can very quickly turn into a large crack, which can lead to a potentially dangerous problem, especially in the Winter. If water gets into a crack like this, it can freeze and expand, widening the crack and compromising the structural integrity of the whole section of concrete. You can repairs cracks with a quick-setting filler or a mortar mix in order to prolong the life of the steps, walkways, and patios, and to stop a small gap landing you with a big repair bill. 

Clogged Gutters

Never neglect your guttering. If it isn’t properly maintained, this vital drainage can cause a lot of trouble during the winter, leading to damage from water or ice. If you notice your gutters or downspouts are full of leaves or aren’t draining as they should, give them a good clean. While you’re cleaning, check for any gutter repair that you need. Is the guttering firmly fixed to the house? Do the downspouts drain away from the foundation? These steps might take up your afternoon, a few hours of work is worth it if it prevents you from having to make expensive repairs later on. 

Loose Railings

Loose or wobbly railings along your decking, porch, or steps are a sign that there is a weak connection somewhere between one or more of the posts and the frame. This is easy to fix. All you need to do is tighten up the screws or lag bolts in any place that doesn’t feel sturdy. Don’t ignore a wobbly railing. Eventually, the loose rail will give way, leaving you with a broken section of railing, which can be dangerous. It will also be a lot more expensive and time-consuming to repair than just tightening the connections. 

Water Warnings

If you notice a water spot on your ceiling, don’t ignore it. While it’s clear that you might have a leak somewhere, the cause is not always easy to spot. You might be dealing with a much bigger problem than a loose roof tile or a build-up of condensation. It’s a good idea to bring in a roofing contractor as soon as you spot a potential problem so you can get a clear idea of what is going on, instead of ignoring it or trying to find the root of the issues yourself. 

Driveway Damage

Asphalt is porous, so it’s very important to seal your driveway as soon as you see signs of wear. This prevents damage from rain, snow, ice, sunlight, or drips of oil. If waters get into the asphalt and freezes, it will cause more and wider cracks in the surface. This seepage can also saturate the soil underneath, causing it to shift over time and damage the driveway.

Protecting Your Home From Natural Disasters

Leave a comment

Protecting Your Home From Natural Disasters

Image 

Winter is a turbulent time of the year, and often coming with it are much harsher weather conditions as well as some risks of flooding and other natural disasters. 

If you want to protect your home this season from the risk of natural disasters there are several things you can do. Building and protecting your house this season is more important than ever, and it will give you the peace of mind for years to come that your house is safe. 

Here are just some of the ways you can invest in your home to keep it safe this winter. 

Consider drainage 

Flooding is a risk in winter more than other seasons because it simply rains more often. To prevent your house from flooding, you need to assess the drainage around your house and fix any cracked drains on the exterior of your property. Be sure to unblock the drains and see about installing another one if you don’t have much already. 

Install sturdy garage doors 

When preparing your home for flooding or wind damage, it is important to have very sturdy doors which can withstand water as well as the force of wind. Install a new garage door as well as doors of your house to ensure you have a solid barrier between yourself and the elements this year. 

Invest in a flood barrier 

If you live in an area which is low down and at risk of flooding often – it is important to consider a flood barrier. Your flood barrier doesn’t need to be huge, but just enough to divert water away from your property to keep you and your home safe. 

Caulk windows and doors 

When there is a risk of natural disaster close to your home, you need to be sure that the structure of your house is solid. To do this, be sure that the area around your windows and doors is solid and doesn’t have any holes or cracks that can provide a weak spot for wind and rain. Use caulk to seal around the windows and the doors and protect your access points. 

Don’t store cardboard on the floor 

If you have a garage or shed alongside your property, one important thing to remember is that you should not store cardboard boxes full of things on the floor. As you know; cardboard is not waterproof and this means if you flood your belongings run the risk of severe water damage. Stick to plastic, or move boxes onto shelving. 

Have plans for cleanup

 
When a natural disaster does hit, not many of us know what to do. It is important for you alongside planning to prevent damage that you have a plan if it happens. You can store the number for a disaster cleanup contractor in your phone incase the worst does happen and at least you will have an expert team of people to help you in your time of need. Be sure to keep the emergency numbers for other services too, so that when the time comes you are ready to take action.

Shape Up for the Holidays

Shape Up for the Holidays

Most years, trying to stay fit during the holiday season can be difficult for anyone. First of all, if you live in the northern hemisphere, it is winter. The body automatically keeps an additional few pounds as insulation for the colder months. Next, add in all the gatherings that are surrounded by the most delicious food… This is a recipe for adding on weight.

This Holiday Season

Covid-19 and self-quarantine have changed a lot of people’s eating habits during the warmer months. Binge watching TV and snacking away the extra stress is totally understandable. Plus, being unable to commit to the usual summer activities has subsequently added on a few pounds to some fine folks. If you’re feeling self-conscious about it, fine, get yourself the best shapewear for tummy and waist to inspire you to feel better about your appearance. However, this isn’t the time to be overanxious about what the winter is going to do to your body if you are already feeling out of shape. You need to first remember: you are beautiful inside and out. And second: this is the time to focus on staying healthy, any which way you and your family can.

Staying Active, Even in Small Ways

Staying active in any way is needed to keep your immune system up. Don’t belong to a gym or don’t want to go to one during this time. Do some simple things to maintain health.

-Add in a daily walk around your property. Brisk walks can really stir up the heart rate.

-If you got a staircase, use it. Going up and down the stairs, repeatedly, can give your body a total cardio workout.

-Got kids? Little ones love to be helpful. Do stretching together as a playtime activity. Do squats while picking up the toys. Reward sit-ups with a kiss from your fellow quarantined loved ones.

-Give a little support. Add the best workout waist trainer to your wardrobe to give support to your back and help shape your body as you even do the most minimal workouts.

Invest in Yourself This Holiday Season

With Black Friday Deals happening everywhere already this holiday season, lookout for some great deals on the ‘home’ things you’ve been thinking about. Exercise equipment is usually a huge score during the Black Friday sales. If it’s just you and your partner, perhaps, invest in a box-food company for portion control on your main meals. Don’t forget about the pampering aspects… Sculptshe Black Friday Promotion is where you can get workout support waist trainers as well as silky waist shapers to bring some sexy back into your quarantined self-esteem. And don’t forget, massaging chairs or portable back massagers might be a great way to care for your muscles, especially at this time.

The north has a lot of colder weather ahead of them as the southern hemisphere falls into their warmer months. Either way, staying in healthy and preventing serious side effects from our quarantine-lifestyles is very important. Muscle atrophy, mental health and malnutrition has affected many during this time. It’s time to make sure you are getting the best from the nutrients in the food you eat, the people you surround yourself with and the way you treat your body on a regular basis.

Ideas For Your Build Project

Ideas For Your Build Project

https://www.pexels.com/photo/2-man-on-construction-site-during-daytime-159306/

There is a lot to consider with new builds, and so we’re going to take a look at some options to consider.

Advantages Of Structural Glazing

From custom window treatments to large skylights, there are lots of exciting project options for windows. Structural glazing contractors may be required for your next project. Structural glazing is a system that involves glass being bonded to the structural framing of a building. This is carried out using a high performance, high strength silicone sealant, which has been specially designed and tested for this type of work.

There are many advantages that are associated with hiring this type of glazing construction contractor for your project. Structural glazing is particularly beneficial for building designs that are in earthquake zones or other severe movement applications. Of course, this is something we do not have to worry about too much in some parts of the world, but it is still worth pointing. You may also want to consider structural glazing if you believe that your business could be the target of any sort of attack, as this type of glazing assists in the design of bomb-proof windows. 

Other benefits include reducing the potential for thermal breakage of glass, as well as reducing or eliminating air and water infiltration. If that was not enough, you can also expect the thermal efficiency of the building to increase by opting for this type of glazing system. This is due to the fact that the outside exposure of the metal frame is either reduced or eliminated entirely. You also have a much greater scope in terms of architectural design flexibility. As you can see, the benefits are extensive, and the only thing you need to do is find the best structural glazing business for your project.

Why Is Stone Cladding A Good Choice For Your Project?

Stone cladding contractors may be one option you are considering for the exterior of your latest development project. If you are yet to decide on what type of cladding to go for, read on to discover the different reasons why stone cladding is a good choice. 

If you haven’t needed to procure any type of cladding for a project before, you may think that stone cladding is the same as any type of building stone. However, there are some distinct differences. Firstly, stone cladding is not as bulky or as heavy as building stone, and it is only about one-inch in thickness, whereas building stone has a thickness of eight inches. Not only this, but building stone rests on the stone underneath, whereas stone cladding will fix directly onto the wall structure. 

There are many benefits to gain by opting for stone cladding. Not only is it maintenance free for a lifetime, but you can choose from a variety of sizes that are pre-cut, meaning no waste stone is left over. Cladding stone is also easier and faster to build, which will be music to your ears if you are working to a tight deadline. The thinness of the stone means that more natural light is let into rooms, and your costs will be reduced by around 20 to 25 percent, as it does not require any expensive and heavy lentils over the doors or windows.

Concrete Waterproofing Contractors – A Smart Move

Concrete waterproofing contractors may not be something you have considered for your project, but you definitely should. No matter whether you are building a residential complex, an office block, or a huge clothing store, professional waterproofing is essential for the structural integrity of the building. 

By hiring the right waterproofing concrete contractors, you can ensure that any potential water issues are eradicated before they arrive, meaning extensive damages and huge costs are avoided. A professional concrete waterproofing contractor will assess the building in question, identify any water threats, and correct them in a quick and economical manner. Hiring such a company is imperative when it comes to quality control for all of your development projects. If you do not waterproof your properties, especially the basement, there are a number of issues that could arise. For example, electrical damage can occur as a result of electrical sockets and wiring being exposed to the water.

In addition to this, wooden flooring and panels will begin to warp, musty odours can arise due to the dampness and this can become unbearable, and concrete breakdown can occur because of water seepage, and this will result in structural damage. If that wasn’t enough, health risks can arise as a consequence of mildew and mould growth, and the property could experience termite problems due to the build-up of moisture. So, as you can see, if you want to ensure the quality of your development project, you really do need to make sure you invest in the services of a concrete waterproofing contractor. The last thing you want is to experience any of the issues mentioned above.

Answered Questions About CBD Oil

Leave a comment

ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT CBD OIL

CBD oil is a popular trend, ending up in lotions, liquids and supplements. Yes, we hear it helps pains and other ailments, but some people still have plenty of questions about CBD. You asked, so lets take a look at some answers.

Is CBD legal?

To answer simply… Yes, in most cases within the US as long as it is derived from hemp and it has less than 0.3% of THC in the ingredients. But you should know, it’s been said that it’s best not to take CBD products on a flight with you. TSA had posted on social media that if anything that could be considered illegal-drug related was found on a person, they will be required to contact law enforcement for further investigation.

What are the benefits of CBD oil?

There’s a long list from arthritis relief to shrinking cancer cells, according to the reviews of people whom use it. Only a small amount of studies have been completed, but showing promising results.

Epilepsy

First, it has scientifically been proven to reduce epilepsy in lab rats, thanks to CBD working on the neurotransmitters in the brain. People who suffer with epileptic seizures have reported a significant drop in episodes.

Chronic Pains

Many folks take CBD oil or use lotion for minor body aches and pains, to relieving chronic injury pain. The reduction of pain has been stated to work as quickly as within the same day.

Brain Function and Health

Just as CBD works on neurotransmitters with epilepsy, it also appears to work on the brain with depression and anxiety. According to a recent study, people that took 25 milligrams daily reduced anxiety. But it should be noted that this was an uncontrolled study.

Will CBD oil get me high?

No. It shouldn’t if it’s the legal kind. However, it does have a relaxing side effect. You should not drive or handle heavy machinery after taking CBD oil until you know how it affects you.

Is all CBD oil the same?

No. Not only does the oil come in different flavors and strengths, but some shady manufactures are developing products in a less controlled environment. As stated before, it must be made from hemp and contain less than 0.3% THC to be legal in the US.

It’s best to do your research before just buying any old CBD oil on the net. 43 CBD Solutions is a Colorado company that keeps it simple and easy when choosing the CBD oil that is right for you. Farm grown and USDA Organic Certified, this company has been giving a quality guarantee product since 2015. They offer CBD in broad spectrum, which has all traces of THC removed. Or you can choose full spectrum that contains less than .03% of THC. Along with 43 CBD Solutions liquids and capsules, they offer massage oil and awesome tins of salve for those sore joints and muscles. Their products come in different sizes to choose from. And, the company is sure to list all ingredients right there for you to see.

Is CBD oil right for me?

That is a question for your doctor. Your doctor will be able to help you figure out if its a good route and what dosing is best for your conditions. It’s true, not all doctors are crazy about supplements, but they should still be included in the conversation. Remember, not all bodies are created the same, so do some more research on your specific conditions or concerns before bringing your thoughts to your doctor.

Feeling Frosty? 

One of the worst aspects of winter is the frequent freezing temperatures. Trying to stay warm and cosy when it’s snowing outside can be almost impossible, and it would seem that the season stretches on and on. It’s so vital that you can combat these frosty temperatures to maintain a comfortable atmosphere inside your home, not only to keep you and your family warm but to help your home stay damp free. Investing in the services of a heating and cooling company will help you to transform your home, but it can be quite expensive and inefficient to heat your whole property simply by utilising such a system. There are many easy and affordable ways that you can combat the cold, from draught excluders that block chilly wind whistling underneath door frames, plush rugs on hard floors, and even faux fur blankets and super thick curtains. You needn’t simply sit and shiver, as there’s a wide range of options for you to explore! 

Let There Be Light

When the winter months roll around, a noticeable difference that the season brings is a reduction in light. It’s rare for a winter evening to be partnered with any kind of sunshine, as it can set as early as 4pm in certain locations! It’s so vital that you can compensate for the lack of natural light that your home receives, and there’s a whole host of options that you can explore. From cosy candles that set the mood to stylish floor lamps that can illuminate a corner of the room, search around and find a few suitable options that can let there be light inside your home. Many people who struggle with seasonal disorders find that their symptoms can reduce when the lack of light is accommodated for, so it’s a win win situation for all. 

Preparing your home for the harsh winter months has never been so simple when you are able to make the most of the top tips and tricks detailed above. Say goodbye to cold, dingy and dark details, as you can revamp and transform your property into a bright and cosy paradise in no time at all!

The Luxurious Lifestyle Can Be More Affordable Than You Think

The Luxurious Lifestyle Can Be More Affordable Than You Think

Image – Pixabay CC0 License

We all dream about living the good life. For most of us, though, the financial elements make it seem out of reach. The good news, however, is that you can enjoy life’s luxuries without being a millionaire.

As long as the right plans are in place, living the champagne lifestyle on a prosecco budget will no longer be a bad thing. Here are the key focal points for guaranteed success.

Buying The Luxury Home

A super stylish and modern home is the ultimate luxury. Building your dream property from scratch is an idea that takes those vibes to whole new levels. It can be a lot cheaper than you think too. Look for a fixed price home building contract to ensure that you understand the full financial picture. If you need to keep costs down, it’s always possible to use a blueprint that incorporates room for future extensions. Perhaps to satisfy your long-term goal of starting a family. Another option is to buy a fixer-upper on the cheap before renovating in style.

Make Vacations Cheaper

An Instagram feed packed with snaps from vacations instantly evokes feelings of envy. Trips don’t have to be expensive. Visiting exotic locations out of season can make a huge impact on the costs. Moreover, holiday rental properties can save you a lot of money on accommodation. Adventure holidays facilitated by driving a motorhome or RV can work wonders too. The vehicle will require an initial outlay but can become a fantastic investment over the years. Besides, you can’t put a price on the magical memories.

Take Care Of Your Health & Beauty

Attractive people lead better lifestyles whether we like it or not. Taking control of your fitness and beauty rituals will provide a foundation for success. Similarly, understanding your fashion choices and hairstyles can unlock a far better appearance. In turn, people will think you have your life under control and may assume that you are financially well off. It’s a weird sensation, but the human mind works in mysterious ways. Better still, looking and feeling better will unlock a far happier future.

Create Luxury With Side Hustles

A side hustle can improve your financial situation, which can aid your financial health. Meanwhile, you can use this as a way to do something luxurious. Manufacturing or sourcing exclusive goods may be your ticket to meeting famous people. Likewise, becoming an events manager or media person can achieve similar goals. Leading a luxurious lifestyle can mean experiencing things that other people do not get to do. This is the perfect example and could potentially open the door to quitting your main job too.

Stop The Need To Own

Society leads us to think that ownership is everything. However, there are many situations in which rentals and hire agreements are better. They allow your money to work harder in the short-term and save the financial issues linked to depreciation. Car leasing is probably the best example. Not least because you’ll want to change vehicles every few years to maintain the sense of luxury. However, there are many other situations that deserve this approach too.

Just as a clean, organized home can give a sense of peace and mental clarity, a well-manicured lawn can also give a welcome visual respite from the chaos around us. It is something we can actually control, and we have ways to take charge of yours.

Introduction

Having a yard you can be proud of is a great feeling. And if the lawn for you is green and lush, mowed to the perfect height with one of the best rear engine riding mowers on homemakerguide.com, then you appreciate beauty, symmetry, and outdoor activities. And no one wants to have a picnic or play a game of touch football on an ugly yard.

Improving your life by improving your lawn

There are a few ways that having a well-manicured yard can make your life better, make your families heath better, and even reduce mental strain. 

  1. Outside Play: The act of getting out and running around promotes health in many ways, like increasing stamina and promoting better circulation. For mental health, playing can take your mind off stressors, opening it up to concepts like fun and adventure. Play a sport, run around, or even do some yoga.
  2. Horticulture: It doesn’t matter what gender you are; we all think flowers are beautiful, and a lawn with flowers feels richer and fuller. The simple act of gardening can be therapeutic. The knowledge that you are giving life to something as small as a seed can add quality to your mental state – a feeling of giving back to nature. 

  1. Environmental impact: Natural grass that is well-cared for does many things to promote environmental health, such as:
  • Absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gases.
  • Putting more oxygen into the world through photosynthesis.
  • Filtering groundwater for underground aquifers.
  • Purifying the air from pollution.
