Should You Make Money Online With One Website Or Several?
There's a common problem faced by new and experienced internet marketers. After reading a ton of information on internet marketing, the majority are confused as to what they should do for their online business.
Many will believe that creating 5 websites to make money is better than relying on 1 website. This seems like common sense but in fact, it is very wrong. Who said earning a lot of money requires common sense? If so, the majority of people would be rich and not the other way round.
If you want to succeed online you need to focus on 1 website. At least until it becomes very successful. There are several reasons for this.
1. Focus Never mind having several websites. Even if you create 2 websites, it's very hard to make both of them excellent and start making a good number of sales. It's much easier to focus on 1 website.
More and more people are saying that multi-tasking actually decreases the quality of results. This is exactly what you're doing when you're working on several websites at the same time.
2. Not enough time If you have many websites, you will need to upload several pieces of content to each of them. When something goes wrong with one of the websites, it is unlikely that you'll know instantly because you have so many sites to deal with.
Basically you don't have enough time to work on several projects unless you hire a team.
3. Results Imagine what would happen if you focused all your efforts on a 1 website instead of 3? You would achieve your goals at least 3 times as fast.
As soon as your website launches, you can put all your effort into making it an authority site. This is how successful entrepreneurs run businesses.
Unless you have an experienced team that you can rely on, you won't be able to produce more than one good website while dealing with many different things at the same time.
A lot of work is required when creating a website. If you make a list of tasks that you need to build a website to sell a product, you'll know that you need a lot more time than you initially thought.
Here are the tasks required for a typical site selling an eBook:
* Creating the front-end product
* Getting graphics developed
* Writing the sales letter
* Creating an offer for the exit pop-up page
* Configuring your autoresponder for subscribers and buyers list andwriting follow up messages
* Creating a product for the up-sell
* Creating a sales letter for the up-sell
* Creating an affiliate page with marketing tools
* Marketing your product by writing articles, pay per click, banner advertisement, contacting affiliate partners, etc.
Look at each of these tasks. They are all essential if you want your online business to succeed. Each of these tasks requires a lot of dedicated work. Creating a website to sell an eBook or service will take you 2 months if you're not familiar with the work.
Bear in mind that I've left out relatively simple tasks from the list which can take up several more hours of your time such as setting up the exit pop-up script, creating the download page and putting up your privacy policy and disclaimer page.
This is one of the reasons why a lot of internet marketers fail to make money online. They don't see the big picture of what is required to create an online business.
They get distracted by following product launches, buying new information products and browsing in forums. These distractions will delay their progress in launching their site and soon they would lose interest with the project and want to focus on other things.
This happens every day. Marketers will have an idea that they are passionate about but after several months they will want to do something else. This is why making money online is so hard.
The entrepreneur has several options they can take to fix this:
1. Block out all distractions This is common sense. If you stop reading forums, stop reading emails on the latest promotions and turn off your Skype etc…you can get your project done a lot quicker.
However, this is easier said than done. It takes a lot of self discipline.
2. Leave out some tasks You can still launch your new product or service by having only a few follow up messages to your subscribers and customers, eliminating the exit pop-up offer, removing the up-sell and not having an affiliate system in place with promotion tools.
This will give you the bare minimum for a product site but you'll be leaving a lot of money on the table. It is proven that the bulk of the money made with an online business is in the up-sell and by having a good relationship with your list.
Leaving out these important tasks is the same as not picking up money from the floor when you see it.
3. Outsource This is the most common route entrepreneurs take when they launch a new product site. They will outsource a lot of the process to a company or individual so that they can free up their time to do tasks that they enjoy such as promoting the business.
This is an ideal alternative to doing the work yourself but it is costly. Unless you are very confident that your product will sell and you will make a lot of money in the back-end, outsourcing can be a bad investment.
A mistake that a lot of entrepreneurs make is hiring the cheapest ghostwriter or freelancer that they can find. They would look for a 40 page eBook to be written for $300 or a sales letter for $200. The fact is, you won't get good quality work for this kind of price.
Companies and individuals, who know they can deliver quality, will spend time in doing the work for you and charge what they are worth. Outsourcing your online business to a company will cost you over a thousand dollars easily. But you will receive a quality product that you can sell.
The quickest way to succeed online is to create a product or service to and your business as a market leader. You'll need to make the website complete with an affiliate program and up-sells. Doing this with 2 or more websites at the same time is out of the question.
If you can afford the money, consider outsourcing your online
business including the product creation. This will free up your time, ensure you have a quality sales funnel and allow you to focus on marketing your business.

Why So Many People Have Tried Dating And Are Still Alone
Let's face it; we all want to find our special someone. Even on a "No Strings Attached" dating site, I am looking for a regular girlfriend.
Unfortunately, too many people involved in the Dating Game are hurting their chances of success, before they even go on that first date.
I will give you an example or two.
One lady I knew a few years back had been single for years. Her older sister thought she and I would be a good match, so the older sister played matchmaker. I agreed to at least give the younger sister a chance, so I tried to set up our first date. But, I never actually got the chance to go out with my friend's little sister.
Why? You might be surprised.
The younger sister would only agree to go out on a first date with me, IF I promised to marry her!!!
I would not make that kind of promise. Sure, I was looking for a wife, but I was not going to commit to marriage with a woman with whom I had never been on a date!
I still see the younger sister's profile in Yahoo Personals every time I look in her hometown to see who is available. We are actually 15 years down the road. I have been in a few relationships, including one marriage, and yet she is still looking for her next husband.
There was another lady for whom I was very fond, and I really wanted to date. But her deal was that she would not agree to a date, unless I would agree to date her for several months.
I did not even know whether I would like her after our first date, let alone like her enough to date her for several months based on a commitment made before I got to know her. (She is also still looking for a boyfriend on Yahoo Personals, as well.)
Put yourself in my shoes. If you were to go out with me, you may decide after the first date that we are not compatible. So why would you want to commit to several months worth of dates or even marriage prior to your first date with me? You wouldn't, would you?
"No Strings Attached" is the only way to date, if you ask me.
We should have the freedom to go on a date, without having to commit ourselves to anything beyond that first date. We should feel that we have the freedom to say no. If we don't work together as a couple, there should be no expectation to drag it out for months with no positive end in sight.
We should all have the freedom to choose if we want to go on a second date, a third date, or even a twentieth date.
We should only seek marriage because we both want to be married to each other. We should not ever feel obligated to marriage on a first date or third.
So here I am. I don't want to lie to you. My personal integrity will not allow me to lie to you.
But, if you want me to agree to multiple dates or marriage before we go on our first date, then the only way that you and I will ever go out is if I let my integrity fall by the wayside.
The only commitment I can make to you is that if I like you, we can go out twice. If we continue to mutually like one another, then maybe we can go out on a third date. And maybe some day, we will decide that we would be a good pair in marriage.
And if this is not acceptable to you, then I might have to throw my personal integrity out the window, and lie to you, just so I can go on that first date with you to see if we could be a good match.
If you don't want guys to lie to you about the future, then don't ask them to commit to something that no person in their right mind will commit to before the first date!

Dating Rules Explained: How to Turn Your Date Into a Relationship
How adults behave on a date depends more on their intentions towards the other person than it does on other factors. For instance, a man who really likes a woman is going to behave differently towards her than he would a woman he is only casually interested in. Sometimes, it is hard to know the difference.
If you really like a guy, you may not be paying attention to his body language, the inflection of his voice as he speaks, or the tone of voice in which he is speaking, and so might miss some of the non verbal cues that would otherwise clue you in to what he is thinking, and how he views you. Does he view you as a potential partner, or a potential bed partner?
We all know the dating rules, or at least enough of them to know what to do and what not to do on a date. However, if you are dating for real, some of those rules don't apply. The rules for dating were largely established a few decades ago to make it easier for people to date, and figure out how to behave towards each other when they had no idea how dating between a man and a woman is supposed to work.
When you date for real, as in you are looking for a lasting connection with a man, rather than a fleeting infatuation, you are more likely to put yourself out there, be more honest and more direct than you would be normally. The interesting side effect of such blatant courage is that the man you are showing your real self to is blown away by your honesty and will probably respond in kind. A real relationship is not based on mind games or attempts at power plays or control.
If you begin your association with communication, honesty, and forthrightness, the chances are good that that will be the basis for the dynamic of your relationship. If you or he goes the other way, and depends upon a list of antiquated guidelines to look to for correct behavior, the relationship will never really get off the ground because neither of you will ever really get to know the other person.
It's not about being polite, its about being you, the real you.
What happens a lot of times is that a woman will meet a man that she likes or who fits all of her idealistic relationship criteria: he is successful, he is good looking, intelligent, has a nice body, etc.....then she will try to figure out what he wants in a woman, and she will mold her personality to fit into what she THINKS he wants. Then what happens?
He is still not having a relationship with her. He is having a relationship with the woman he thinks she is. But she will soon grow tired of this game, and he will eventually notice that she is unhappy but will be unable to figure out why.
Dating for real is scary because it means that you have to let the other person in. You have to let them see who you really are in order to start something. Just as you need to see who he really is. You need to fight through the nice clothes, and the fancy car, and the sexy voice, down to who he is on the inside.
It's a long, arduous frustrating journey, but at the end of all that, guess what you will have? You will have a bond with a man who knows you don't look like Tyra Banks in the morning when you wake up, but loves you anyway.
So many men are looking for good women, and so many women are looking for good men, and they are all around us all the time. They are lonely and confused and have a few dings and scratches, or even a humdinger of a dent, but with a little care and patience, and honesty, they could be good for us.
What we put into a relationship is what we get out of a relationship. If you're dating for real, be yourself. If he takes off, he is not the one for you. That's all it is.
This is life. We are going to be rejected. It happens. But don't shy away from being yourself for fear of rejection.
The hypothetical man in the above story just wanted a woman to be with who he could share his time and his life with. If she had
been authentic with him from the beginning, things would have been different.
Be Real. That is the only dating rule you really need to follow.

The Merry-go-round Of Conventional Medicine!
I'm not here to scare you but to try and get you to think before you act on that medical treatment.
Will the medication really help? Are there safer alternatives?
Prescription and OTC (over-the-counter) drugs that man has created and decided has all the answers to human ailments are sadly creating a world of more illness and disease all by themselves! Getting worse daily!
The "The merry-go-round of medicine starts with on Medication"!
Let's start with the most often prescribed treatment of today for high blood pressure aka hypertension!
You go in for a check up and are told you have high blood pressure. Here begins the merry-go-round.
Maybe you do and maybe you don't really have high blood pressure since the normals have been lowered so much in the last few years that what use to be normal is now considered high?
The one blood pressure prescription usually starts the merry-go-round in your prescription life!
Most common BP treatment used; One pill to cause the blood vessels to open up, thereby speeding up the heart, which is dangerous in itself. A second medication is then prescribed to slow the heart down. The slowing down of the blood flow causes the body to retain fluid creating swelling throughout the body, most often the lower limbs (legs, feet and ankles). That bring on a third prescription to remove the fluid in the body, called a water pill or diuretic. Diuretics remove minerals and vitamins the body needs to function creating problems with vital organs as well as decimating the immune system making you a magnet for any virus or bacteria around you...
That loss of nutrients in turn causes dizziness, weakness, and even headaches in a large number taking it. Loss of those nutrients most often raises cholesterol levels and then the doctor feels he/she must give a prescription for lowering cholesterol.
Cholesterol
lowering drugs are famous for further decimating the nutrient system creating bone and joint pain along with the other symptoms that are then diagnosed most often as arthritis and more prescriptions are written.
Before I forget; blood pressure lowering drugs create impotence in men and loss of libido in women.
There exists your merry-go-round of medications that lead to more serious problems the longer you stay on the merry-go-round.
You now have four medications for one health issue and those that lead to more serious problems further along, such as heart attack and/or stroke, which lowering blood pressure and or cholesterol is suppose to prevent?
Second BP treatment in conventional medicine: Another class of hypertension drugs called beta blockers, which most often cause depression, hallucinations, insomnia, liver and kidney damage. This too creates circulatory problems that will result in swelling, loss of nutrients, etc. activating more prescriptions listed above, so continues the merry-go-round.
If you smoke, have any kind of respiratory problems, such as asthma, allergies then the beta blocker is even more dangerous making for not a lot of wellness in my book.
Sadly all those drugs and your blood pressure could still remain high, as it does in fifty percent of those taking all those drugs.
So what have they accomplished? Nothing except setting yourself up for more serious health problems and early death!
This is just the tip of the iceberg with prescription and OTC drug treatments that the body is not designed to accept as natural, so it is forced to react in ways that can and do kill people minute by minute...
That same scenario is played out hourly with a multitude of other perceived health problems through out most of
the world and don't even ask me about the cancer treatments out there in traditional medicine. It would almost require a book to write about the horrific side effects and deaths occurring from chemotherapy and radiation. Those treatment success figures are; deaths from the chemotherapy and radiation treatment 60% and living through the treatments 40%. I don't find that very comforting!
Doesn't it make more sense to try natural herbal/mineral treatments that the body recognizes as normal and natural and can work within the body to reverse the problems in about 80% of those who choose alternative treatment... I like 80% versus 40% better health odds myself!
Think about it before accepting manmade drugs for your health problem! I daily watch people successfully using herbs and minerals for treating and getting healthy all without the side effects of chemical medicine… I only see alternative medicine fail when people shop around and take an imbalance of herbs and minerals… Healing will only happen if you don't shop and try more than necessary! “Too much of a good thing is just as bad as a bad thing!”
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Check out any alternative health practitioner and stick with that person’s recommendations!
*** Author Lena Sanchez, a retired Medical Office Nurse and Medical Office Consultant, took charge of her life in 1992 found healthy drug-free alternatives and your health pain relief
from a multitude of health issues. Now committed to helping others do the same by educating on actually treating illness and disease rather than masking symptoms.

The FDA just made it official: PPI (proton pump inhibitor) medication, one of the most popular drugs on the market, could be more dangerous than we thought.
I would bet that if you know any people, you know someone who is taking a PPI. Nexium, Prilosec, Prevasid, etc… These heartburn and acid reflux drugs often provide relief, but that relief can cost a patient a very steep price in the form of increased health risks and possible heart
failure.
These mediations shut down some of the stomach’s acid producing pumps, which may seem like a great idea if you suffer from heartburn or acid reflux, but in reality is a dangerous way to control those conditions.
Why?
First; Contrary to what you are told or believe, stomach acids are not there to make your life miserable they're
very essential for digesting food and when stopped producing digestion suffers.
Second; Stomach acids perform other important tasks, such as protecting your stomach from C-diff (Clostridium difficile), a bacterium that can trigger severe digestive inflammation and diarrhea as well as other bacteria.
Stomach acid is actually your friend not your enemy!
PPI medications have become the enemy! Some time back the FDA added a warning that hypomagnesemia (a dangerous magnesium deficiency) may occur in patients who take PPI drugs daily for three months to one year. This mineral is absolutely necessary for your heart to function!
The warning only addresses the extremes. That is: extreme use of the drug and extreme magnesium deficiency, when in actuality any use of more than 7 days is a danger.
If you read the insert accompanying the prescription it tells you that the product should not be used longer than 7 days. The drug companies know what will happen!
But the FDA isn't admitting; Hypomagnesemia doesn't develop overnight. They are saying, eight months of PPI use, your magnesium level doesn't suddenly drop off the table. WRONG!
This is a HUGE issue for every PPI user, because even a gradual or small drop in your magnesium level can have negative health consequences.
Magnesium helps heart muscles relax, reduces blood pressure, helps control homocysteine, reduces risk of cognitive decline, essential in growing healthy bones and plays a key role in healthy DNA production.
Magnesium also helps maintain normal insulin levels.
Deplete magnesium levels and you lose one of your key defenses against type 2 diabetes.
Please share this e-mail with anyone you know who suffers from chronic heartburn or acid reflux -- because chances are they're on a PPI (or will be given one soon). And they need a GENUINE warning about the true risks of depleted mineral levels.
But PPIs are not the only option. There are safe
alternatives that don't put you at risk for more serious issues down the road. Read

3 Bacterial Vaginosis Remedies You Can Start Using Today
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection, so
it's no surprise that there are hundreds of different bacterial
vaginosis remedies out there for you to try.
But having too many options is a problem in itself. You obviously
want the one treatment that will give you the best results. But
unfortunately different treatments work differently for different
women, so it helps to know a handful of the best treatments that
other women have tried and tested FOR you.
Another thing you ought to keep in mind is that one treatment
alone usually just doesn't cut it, especially if you have had
bacterial vaginosis for a while. Your best bet is to use a
combination of different bacterial vaginosis remedies, each
remedy supplementing the other through a different mode of
action.
So in this article I'll be telling you about 3 different
bacterial vaginosis remedies that you should be using together in
COMBINATION. And this isn't any old random combination, it's
one that REAL WOMEN have used time and time again with an
excellent rate of success.
So here's your list of...
3 Powerful Bacterial Vaginosis Remedies
BV Remedy #1: Hydrogen Peroxide
This is a very powerful treatment indeed. Hydrogen peroxide is a
substance that is naturally present inside every healthy vagina.
Good bacteria inside your vagina naturally produce hydrogen
peroxide in order to kill off the bad bacteria. For this reason,
hydrogen peroxide is one of the few bactericidal remedies that
kills ONLY the bad bacteria and leaves the good ones alone.
That's why hydrogen peroxide is so effective. Here's how to use
it.
Take 1/4 cup (60 ml) of 3% hydrogen peroxide and mix it with 1/4
cup of water (preferably distilled). Apply as a douche 1 to 2
times per day, for 3 days (maximum 5 days). This gives most women
IMMEDIATE relief from the bad smells and excess vaginal
discharge.
As effective as hydrogen peroxide is in the immediate sense, its
effects don't last very long for most women, not when you use it
on its own. That's where the folic acid and acidophilus comes
in.
BV Remedy #2: Acidophilus
One strain of good bacteria inside your vagina is called
lactobacillus acidophilus. You can take acidophilus tablets to
increase the number of good bacteria inside your vagina. If you
don't like tablets, you can also take natural unpasteurized
yogurts that contain live strains of acidophilus bacteria.
Once the hydrogen peroxide has killed off the bad bacteria, you
can take acidophilus to help replenish the colony of good
bacteria inside your vagina. These good bacteria then release
more hydrogen peroxide naturally. They also release other
chemicals such as lactic acid, which kill off more of the bad
bacteria and prevent them from growing back.
Acidophilus doesn't work very well on its own, because it isn't
very good at killing off the overgrown bad bacteria that you get
in bacterial vaginosis. But when used in combination with
hydrogen peroxide, its effects have been shown to be extremely
powerful.
Acidophilus tablets and yogurts can be used both orally and
vaginally. Studies have shown the oral route to provide longer
lasting results, whereas the vaginal route produces more
immediate results.
The Oral Route...
Take 2-3 acidophilus pills orally for at least 1 month. Or take
150ml natural unpasteurized yogurt containing live acidophilus
twice daily for at least 1 month.
The Vaginal Route...
Insert one vaginal acidophilus suppository AFTER each hydrogen
peroxide douche. Or apply unpasteurized yogurt containing live
acidophilus bacteria liberally inside your vagina using an
applicator or spoon. Do this at night AFTER your hydrogen
peroxide douche, and be sure to wear a non-deodorized pad to
avoid soiling your underwear. The vaginal route is to be used for
no longer than 7 consecutive days.
BV Remedy #3: Folic Acid
Folic acid is the icing on the cake here. It uses a whole
different approach and is thought to help cure BV by modulating
and strengthening the immune system. Sure, it CAN be used on its
own to help cure BV, but it is best used in combination with
other more direct bacterial vaginosis remedies like the two
mentioned above.
A number of scientific studies have demonstrated that women who
take folic acid, or have a high intake of folate in their diet,
are far less likely to get bacterial vaginosis. The exact mode of
action of folic acid is uncertain, but it can certainly be
attributed at least partially to the effect it has on
strengthening your immune system.
I advise you to take 800 micrograms in 2 divided doses every day.
So that's 400 micrograms twice a day. The recommended daily
allowance for non-pregnant women is 400 micrograms per day, but I
have found that taking a higher dose helps in the short term for
boosting the immune system to help cure BV. And don't worry,
it's perfectly safe to take 800 micrograms per day. Thhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife
extra-cautious, safe upper limit is 1,000 micrograms per day.
Women who take these 3 bacterial vaginosis remedies - hydrogen
peroxide, acidophilus and folic acid in combination have been
found to permanently cure their BV far more often than when they
use any one or two of the treatments alone.

The Cookie Diet... Really?
In the last few years, I've noticed that more people are beginning to embrace the idea that weight loss involves making healthy food choices and lifestyle changes. This comes as welcome news to myself and all of the other dietitians out there who have been trying to promote that very idea for years. But then, another fad diet emerges which starts to cast doubt, and those who have been trying to escape the dieting mentality once and for all begin to wonder if this new plan may just be the one that finally works…..enter the Cookie Diet!
The Cookie Diet is not a new diet or new concept for that matter, but lately it's been getting some attention. It was originally created in 1975 by Dr. Sanford Siegel, a Miami physician who made this diet available to his patients for many years.
The diet premise is fairly straightforward and simple: Eat one low calorie meal a day and 6 pre-packaged cookies purchased at the doctors office for a cost of approximately $56 per week. The cookies have added protein and fiber. People on the Cookie Diet are also supposed to take supplemental vitamins and minerals to prevent any nutritional inadequacies.
Several years ago the website, www.CookieDiet.com was launched. The website was a huge success and then the "cookies" started to become available in stores like GNC or Walgreens. Other "cookie diets" with similar products have now emerged. Throw in a few celebrity endorsements and you have another fad diet on the rise.
The popularity of this or any quick fix diet is not surprising. With the promise of minimal effort and great results, who wouldn't want lose weight by eating cookies? After all, cookies are generally a forbidden food in most weight loss diet plans.
But now for the reality check. The low calorie meal prescribed (fish or skinless chicken with a vegetable) plus the 6 cookies are going to provide 1000 calories or less per day. Can the average person lose weight that way? Of course! Can the average person be healthfully sustained on a diet of 1000 calories or less a day? No. Quick weight loss on very low calorie diets can be unsafe and cause other health problems such as electrolyte imbalances or gallstones.
Weight loss plans that center around a specific food or supplement are hard to stay on for any length of time. Even if the cookies taste really good, most people will quickly tire of eating the same food day after day. When the diet has been abandoned (like its predecessors), what has the dieter learned about making meaningful behavioral change to help them maintain a healthy weight? Probably not very much.
Unfortunately, fad diets do little more than misinform the public and keep the dieting mentality alive. Here are a few pointers to help you spot and avoid the fad diets that are long on promises but short on results:
* Eating plans that suggest elimination of entire groups of foods or elimination of many foods
* Eating plans that are too regimented or have too many http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif"rules"
* Diet plans that emphasize supplements or products that take the place of food
* Eating plans that restrict calories below basal metabolic needs (usually less that 1200 calories per day)
There are no quick fixes for people who are trying to lose weight. It takes time, it takes diligence, and it requires change in behaviors that eventually emerge into positive eating and lifestyle habits. Eat well, be well and enjoy a variety of healthy foods!

The Powerful Antioxidant You Cannot Eat Or Drink
Have you ever taken a bite out of an apple and then set it down for a while?
What happens?
The inner part of the apple will start to turn from a nice yellow to a gross-looking brown. And if you leave it sitting there long enough, and the apple will eventually rot - fast. This is called oxidative damage. Electrons within the apple are getting ripped out by the air.
Here's the scary part: The same thing is happening to your body…right now. Unlike the apple, your body has natural defenses against oxidative damage, which is why you don't turn into a pile of dead mush within a few hours after being born.
However, these natural defenses wear down and begin losing the battle after a certain period of time.
Here's another question for you: When did you start feeling "old?" What's the age when you notice men and women around you start getting wrinkles and thinning hair?
If you said in the early 40s, there's a very good reason. At approximately 42-43 years of age, the human body begins losing the battle against oxidative damage and begins to wrinkle and rot just like an apple after you take a bite out of it.
But there is hope. You can use the power of antioxidants to battle this free radical damage. I'm sure you've heard the advice to eat fresh fruits and vegetables because of their antioxidant content but there's another powerful antioxidant which has nothing to do with food or drink:
Deep breathing.
Believe it or not, easy deep breathing is an antioxidant which helps prevent free radical damage. This means deep breathing is not just good for you on the inside...but you'll end up looking better on the outside as well.
And you didn't have to eat or drink anything.
But the health benefits of deep breathing don't end there. In fact, very few people understand just how powerful this practice can be...because they don't know how to do it.
Here are the secrets:
1. Place one hand on your belly and the other hand on your chest.
2. Begin breathing through your nose, and your goal is to feel the breath move your lower hand, while the hand on your chest remains still. This way, you activate your diaphragm when you breathe. Unless you do this, you're taking normal shallow breaths and will not get the antioxidant effect.
3. Take ten slow breaths and focus on filling your belly and entire torso from the bottom up. Even though your lungs are much smaller than your entire upper body, imagining they're bigger helps increase the power of this exercise.
Practice this for a few minutes every day, and an amazing thing will happen. You will develop the practice of breathing like this all the time, so you don't even have to think about it. When this happens, you'll notice you have more energy, you'll feel more relaxed, and yes you will look better in the mirror.
