The correct breathing can really help you lose weight. If you involve your mind and improve your heart rate with proper breathing techniques you will be able to lose your weight and become healthier. The investigations held in New Zealand showed that relaxation and appropriate breathing can give you positive results even without taking supplements. The athletes who took part in the research were powerful and had more endurance only due to the correct breathing. It should be mentioned that biofeedback is also very useful. The athletes tried to increase the endurance and the energy by diminishing the oxygen intake and the ventilation rate.
The chemistry which is present in the breathing techniques is very simple. The fat which is kept in the body consists of: hydrogen, carbon, oxygen molecules (plus other substances that are kept in other parts of the body).
 When your body fat receives more oxygen, it is divided into two substances: H²O— water, which flows through the blood stream, then reaches the kidneys and passes through the urination; and CO²— carbon dioxide, that comes out through respiration. Breathing techniques are widely practiced in alternative medicine. They are used all around the world: Europe, Australia and New Zealand, in the U.S. especially in Canada and Mexico.

The usefulness of breathing
There are some rules of performing breathing techniques.
You should breathe in sluggishly and deeply through the nose for five seconds and breathe out using your mouth until your lungs are totally empty.
Pay much attention to the correct breathing out. Your diaphragm must be also involved while breathing. It makes your lungs at first to draw in air and remove the carbon dioxide. If you perform breathing in correctly your lungs will rise. And breathing out makes your diaphragm rise. You should breathe deeply if this process doesn't occur.
It is helpful to perform 6 or 8 deep breaths a minute. Generally we can breathe more than 20 times for this period of time.
Before you include breathing techniques into your weight loss program consult your doctor about possible contraindications.
