TAKE A DEEP BREATH: A SIMPLE EXERCISE GUIDE TO INCREASING YOUR OXYGEN INTAKE

Book ID/图书代码： 12346619C00007

English Summary/英文概要： It may begin with shortness of breath or perhaps a recurring cough as you inhale. Your ability to take in more air becomes impeded―for any number of reasons. The bottom line is that your body is not receiving the oxygen it requires, and when that happens, your body lets you know it. Exhaustion, depression, lack of focus, and dizziness can all set in, not to mention the organ damage created by a lack of oxygen. Prescription medications or an oxygen tank may provide some relief, but there are also a number of techniques that you can do on your own to improve your condition. Best-selling health writer Meera Patricia Kerr and Dr. Sandra A. McLanahan have teamed up to provide an effective breathing exercise program. Their new book, Take a Deep Breath, is designed to help those who have any number of breathing problems increase their lung capacity safely and naturally.

The book is divided into two parts. Part One provides information basic to understanding the authors’ unique program. You will learn the importance of the respiratory system to your health and how you can improve your breathing through specific time-tested exercises. You will also learn about the mental blocks that may prevent you from performing these simple yet important exercises―and how you can overcome them. Part Two presents the full breathing program, from assuming the right postures to carrying out essential techniques for lung improvement. As you will discover, this program offers benefits far beyond easier breathing, including the ability to overcome stress, gain mental clarity, and take greater control over your life.

While there may not be a complete cure for every breathing disorder, you can play a crucial role in improving your condition. Take a Deep Breath gives you the tools you need to control your breathing and optimize your health. All it takes is one deep breath at a time.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 开始时可能出现呼吸急促或吸气时反复咳嗽。你吸入更多空气的能力会受到阻碍——原因有很多。底线是你的身体没有得到它所需要的氧气，当这种情况发生时，你的身体会让你知道。疲惫、抑郁、注意力不集中和头晕都可能发生，更不用说缺氧造成的器官损害了。处方药或氧气罐可能会提供一些缓解，但也有一些技术，你可以自己做，以改善你的条件。畅销健康作家米拉•帕特里夏•克尔和桑德拉•麦克拉纳汉博士联手提供了一个有效的呼吸运动计划。他们的新书《深呼吸》旨在帮助那些有各种呼吸问题的人安全自然地增加肺活量。

这本书分为两部分。第一部分为理解作者独特的程序提供了基础信息。你将了解呼吸系统对健康的重要性，以及如何通过特定的时间测试练习改善呼吸。你还将了解可能妨碍你进行这些简单而重要的练习的心理障碍，以及如何克服这些障碍。第二部分介绍完整的呼吸计划，从采取正确的姿势到实施必要的肺部改善技术。正如你将发现的，这个项目提供的好处远远超过呼吸更容易，包括克服压力，获得头脑清晰，并采取更大的控制你的生活。

虽然并不是所有呼吸障碍都能完全治愈，但你可以在改善你的状况方面发挥关键作用。深呼吸为你提供了控制呼吸和优化健康所需的工具。每次只需要深呼吸一次。（WYL)
