One Little Anti-Aging Secret That Indicates How Long You Live

What is the most basic anti-aging secret?

Most people and doctors get this wrong. It is not your heart or your brain. Probably most people are overwhelmed with too much hype about anti-aging. They forget that the lungpower can affect your longevity.

Here is a real shocker – unless you do something early, your lungs will shrink as you age. In fact, every year the lung cells die off faster than you can replace them. Research shows that you will lose 45% of your lung at age of 70. That is bad news for your strength, stamina, and immunity system in your body. The smaller your lung is the greater chance of dying of every possible cause. So, if you want to live long, you should have strong lung.

Here are some of the benefits:

• A strong lung gives your stamina an extra boost. This is because your daily activities need full tank of oxygen in your lung. The oxygen will burn more calories, which gives you more energy.
• A super lungpower fights infection and keeps you from getting sick such as common cold.
• A lung with huge capacity of oxygen removes fatigue.
• An oxygenated lung gives your blood better capability to bring more nutrients to every part of your body.
• A strong lung generates the power to faster recovery from illness and injury.

This is not without any proof!

Decline of lung volume greatly increases the risk of heart disease by 200%. European Society of Cardiology reported this in 1988.

According to Copenhagen City Heart Study in Denmark, a loss of lung volume raises the risk of first-time stroke by over 30%. The risk of fatal stroke shoots over 200%.

Here is the list of exercises that makes your lung strong:

• Swimming
• Tai Chi
• Yoga
• Chi Gong (Nie Gong)

All these exercises wake up the cells in your heart and lung, which is a great workout. They also help to improve endurance, muscle strength, and joint posture.

These exercises do not exert great impact on the body. The workout does not go against the gravity such as running, jogging, and jumping. Therefore, they are suitable for people who are overweight, out of shape, pregnant or have mobility problems. These can be considered as injury-free exercises. You also get the benefit of resistance training. These exercises do not put the strain on connective tissues that running, aerobics and some weight-training workouts do.

The intensity of breathing in these exercises also expands the capacity of lung. Martial arts masters, Yoga masters and some athletes have one secret weapon. It is what Bruce Lee called the “Breath Power”. This is the ability to control breathing pattern, which improves strength, stamina and sense of well being.

Such power breathing provides the body with oxygen for the correct and efficient functioning of every cell. It allows the body to metabolize food efficiently. It gets rid of all the harmful gaseous by-products of metabolism, especially the carbon dioxide.

Power breathing soothes the nervous system, improves concentration, and boosts the ability to deal with complex situations without suffering from stress. It trains the diaphragm, rib and abdominal muscles to improve core strength and stability.
