Did you know that there is such a thing as ‘incorrect breathing’?

We often breathe too much, too quickly, too hard and through our mouths - both in everyday life, under stress and at night. This unhealthy way of breathing increases physical stress and has a negative impact on our health. But it is possible to relearn healthy breathing. With just a few minutes of daily practice, you can significantly improve your health, balance and energy levels. This event shows why it is worth focussing on your own breathing and combines theoretical knowledge about healthy breathing with practical breathing exercises:

Healthy breathing - what is it?

Effects of healthy breathing

Balance of oxygen and CO2 in the body

Mouth breathing vs. nasal breathing

Practical breathing exercises

Active participation in the exercises is encouraged.

A diet of healthy foods strengthens the immune system, makes us feel good and thus helps the body to fight infections. Although a healthy lifestyle cannot protect us from catching flu and cold viruses, the function of the immune system determines how well our body copes with these and other threats. With the onset of the fall and winter months, our immune system faces additional challenges: dry heating air, temperature fluctuations, wind and cold and wet weather promote the development of coughs, colds and sore throats. The online seminar provides brief information about the function of our immune system and gives sound tips and suggestions on how you can strengthen your health and well-being in a targeted manner.

• Function of our immune system
• Tips and suggestions for strengthening the immune system through nutrition
