CHECK YOUR PULSE

WHAT MATTERS

Dr. C. Branker

The next time someone tells you " Have a nice day", remember you have to breathe for it.

Yes breathe!  Breathing is as necessary to life as your heart pumping blood through your body. In fact, the necessity of breathing is closely linked to that blood pumping through your vessels. 

Your organs responsible for breathing are your lungs, which are part of the respiratory system.

How many breaths do you take per day? Since it would be almost impossible to count every single breath you take during a day, you’ll have to do an estimate. 

Set a timer for one minute and then count the number of breaths you take during that minute. Multiply that number by 60 to get the number of breaths per hour. Then multiply that number by 24 to get your number of breaths per day. Compare your number with that of a friend or family member.

Over the course of a day, that adds up to 17,000-30,000 breaths per day — or more!

Perhaps 50,000 if you exercise.

Job 27:3. All the the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils; 

Job 33:4. The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

HAVE A NICE BREATHING DAY!!!
