SUPERCHARG­ES ENERGY: Lying this way

-

“I’d often feel tired and lightheade­d in the afternoon and realized it was because I was not breathing fully,” says Giada. “So I learned to lie on my back with my knees bent, my feet apart, and to take deep breaths. It takes 2 minutes, and I feel better and the brain fog disappears!” In fact, research shows breathing deeply for 1 minute, keeping your exhale twice as long as your inhale, can sharpen focus by 50% for 1 hour.
