When most people sit down to eat, they keep eating until they are told not to. Eat grains to your heart’s content but do not breathe to your heart’s content. PM Modi said that the reverse should be done here. Whenever you get a chance during the day, you should breathe enough to fill your body. If possible, it should be stopped for a few moments and taken out slowly. We give last priority to the body among the remaining 50 tasks. How many of you are there who have decided that we will see the sunrise? These things give freshness to the body. Gives an energy. We should make these habits. The body should often be given priority.

Benefits of diaphragmatic breathing
Diaphragmatic breathing is deep breathing. This activates the diaphragm. We are not able to utilize the full capacity of the lungs during normal breathing. Whereas this technology helps the lungs to work at almost 100 percent capacity, which increases the efficiency of the lungs and provides more oxygen to the body. This strengthens the diaphragm muscle. If we practice this regularly, we have to work less hard to breathe normally and get more oxygen. This reduces the body’s demand for oxygen. With this, we are able to breathe better with less energy and less effort. It helps in relaxing the body and mind and reduces stress. Improves muscle function during exercise and prevents strain or injury. It increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, due to which the body feels more energetic. Makes it easier to expel gases like carbon dioxide from the lungs. This keeps BP low and heart rate balanced. Deep, long breathing helps a lot in conditions of anxiety, asthma, COPD and stress.
