“The harmful effects of stress on your health are not inevitable. How you think and how you act transform your experience with stress. When you choose to see your stress response as helpful, you create the biology of courage”.

–Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D.

Like the quote above, the rubicon of good or poor health could be the personal perception of stress. Mastering relaxation with improved respiration is an effective way to manage stress. Recognize the signals of stress and take advantage of them. With positive input to our autonomic nervous system, hormones are realesed to support health by neutralizing the toxic effects of stress.

With that in mind, we need to prepare our nervous system to keep calm under pressure with different respiration techniques. Also,  ALTUMBLUE focus on specific breathing training to help the body in the natural production of Nitric oxide, and therefore age proof the cardiovascular.

It is important to know our quality of health with a self-diagnose, from the breathing perspective, you can determine your sensitivity to carbon dioxide using the Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT), which measures the length of a comfortable breath hold. This gives an idea of our vital capacity (the sum of tidal capacity, inspiratory reserve and expiratory reserve volume). you can find The Body Oxygen Level Test (BOLT) from the book The Oxygen Advantage here. http://www.altumblue2050.com/2020/03/22/the-body-oxygen-level-test-bolt/
