We are all very unique and different. One of the few characteristics that we have in common is that we breathe. Breathing allows us to perform two functions. Inhaling allows us to take in oxygen for our body. Exhaling allows us to get rid of waste from our body. It is an important function. Breathing is one of those keys to enable us to get a quality workout or just a passing activity. We want to get a quality workout. With that in mind we should make sure that we can properly and efficiently breathe through our nose and our mouth. Allergies can hinder our breathing to a point where we decide not to workout at all or to have a mediocre workout. Here are some tips to maximize your breathing by minimizing the allergies without taking any medications.
By immersing your head in a sink or basin of tap water, we can remove some of the pollen and other allergens. Make sure your entire face is immersed. Open your eyes for a few seconds or even blink while underwater. Hold your face (and your breath) for about 10 to 15 seconds. Then, pull your head out of the basin or sink. Repeat this about 3 times. At the end, dry your face with a clean new towel.
Another tip is to place a face towel in a basin or sink of cold water (with the ice cubes). Make sure the face towel is immersed for awhile and is very cold. Then, place the face towel on your eyes and your nose for about 10 minutes. You can place it 10 minutes on one eye and then 10 minutes on the other eye so that you can watch television while you are waiting. But, I prefer to place it 10 minutes on both eyes to get it over with. Plus, there is not much positive stuff in television. You should feel refresh and ready to workout. It is similar to when towards the end of a long plane trip when the flight attendant gives you a face towel to rinse your face off. You should feel refreshed and energized.
While you are recovering from allergies, it would be a good idea to exercise indoors. You do not need the extra pollen and allergens to trigger your allergies. Now, your breathing is at its optimal best. Go forth and exercise at your best.
