Here we are on Day 3 of the Your Turn Challenge. Yesterday, I announced that I would enter into an official Dabbling exploration of BREATHING. For those of you who have been following this blog challenge, I invite you to note that, even as you are reading these words so artfully arranged before you, your body is taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. Good for you. Well done. What you may not know is that you are simultaneously expelling moisture from your body. But now that you do know, I'll bet you're suddenly thirsty. Clearly there is a lesson to be learned here - too much breathing can dehydrate you, so choose wisely.
This is going to be a short blog because, not only am I struggling to breathe without becoming parched, but I am also keeping a close eye on my forehead. My first foray into this field of breathing led to some disturbing research suggesting that "simple breathing exercises can help to oxygenate and rejuvenate your hair and entire body." In digging deeper, I discovered that what the author really meant was that breathing can help to rejuvenate your hair ON your entire body. Specifically, it seems, if you naively embrace the pop science that believes in the health benefits of breathing, you will expose yourself to the potential unintended consequence of thicker, bolder, "what is that crawling around on your face?" eyebrows. While this may be a trend in some celebrity circles, I am sticking to shallow breaths until further notice.
