Hi, I’m Michael Lingard, Orthopath, Buteyko Educator and Plantrician introducing podcast number 11 entitled “Enjoy Optimal Health with The Skype Lifestyle Course”
This course is based on a six lessons over three-weeks.
Health is both simple and complex, when anyone asks me what are the factors affecting our health I am now quite clear that the answer is, everything.
Our health is affected by many things including body mechanics, our diet, our breathing, our stress, our work, our family, exercise, the environment, and much more or as I said before, everything, but we only have any substantial control over two of these factors.
The good news is that by taking control over the two key factors we are better able to live with the others.
So what are these two health-promoting activities in our lives?
They are what we eat and how we breathe!
There is an old saying “We are what we eat” or I tell children “We can’t make eyeballs from chocolates, they usually get the idea from that”
Today it is now recognized that bad eating habits have led to an epidemic of obesity, heart disease and diabetes but the public are still not given the facts that scientific research proved over twenty or so years ago. This is in part due to the fact that the food industry would rather keep us all in the dark, also because doctors do not have any significant training in nutrition so feel unable to offer any good advice to their patients and often their patients don’t want to hear any advice that might involve them cutting out foods they have come to love.
However the fact is that ninety percent of our major diseases are diet related, in other words we can reduce or eliminate the risk of developing the major diseases like, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Strokes, Alzheimer’s Disease, Cancer, MS, Arthritis and more by changing our diet. Yes, it’s that simple and that powerful, we have the power to improve our health without drugs.
We can live for three weeks without food, three days without water but barely three minutes without air. Would this alone not make us think that breathing is the most vital activity in our lives?
Over seventy five percent of us breathe badly, most of us over-breathe or suffer some degree of chronic hidden hyperventilation. Dysfunctional breathing impairs oxygenation of our body, causes restrictions of blood vessels, disturbs the entire chemistry of the body and may be associated with over a hundred diseases including Asthma, Angina, Anxiety, Hypertension, ME, Poor Sleep, IBS, Allergies, Sleep Apnoea, Orthodontic Problems, Panic Attacks and many more health problems. We can all learn how to improve our breathing in just a few weeks, because bad breathing is just a bad habit and the body is ready and waiting to return this vital activity back to normal.
The really good news is that my research over the past year, based on over two hundred patients I have screened for breathing and diet, has shown that the way we breathe affects the way we eat and the way we eat changes the way we breathe. This means every improvement of one will automatically lead to improvements in the other.
I have a Skype Lifestyle Course that teach you how to improve both your diet and your breathing and is based on two major research works; the dietary advice is based on the largest epidemiological study ever done in the field of nutrition, backed by over 25 years of clinical tests and used by over 12,000 success of doctors worldwide, often referred to as “The China Study”. The breath training is based on the clinically proven system the Buteyko Method developed by the Russian doctor Professor Konstantin Buteyko.
The course is based on six half hourly sessions and usually extends over three weeks.
