If You Are 60 or Older
We’re sharing with you a simple yet surprisingly effective way to maintain health, youthfulness of spirit, and mental clarity at any age. Breathing practices with the ShantyBreath brand become more engaging, varied, regular, and effective. Breathe with us! It’s simple and beneficial!
Conscious breathing is a unique gift given to us by nature. It allows you to slow down during moments of stress, fill yourself with energy, or find harmony amidst the hustle and bustle. This simple and accessible tool is always with you — you just need to learn how to use it effectively. Take a deeper breath to feel the value of each moment.
Key Benefits:
Protection against dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Science shows that moderately deep, controlled breathing improves brain blood flow and stimulates neuroplasticity — a key process that combats memory and concentration decline in older age.
Improved sleep. Slow, rhythmic breathing stabilizes your heart rate, reduces tension, and helps you fall asleep faster and more peacefully.
Prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Breathing exercises lower blood pressure and strengthen blood vessels, significantly reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
Increased lung capacity and strengthened respiratory muscles. With age, natural changes occur in the respiratory system, such as reduced lung tissue elasticity, decreased lung volume, and weakened respiratory muscles. These changes can affect quality of life and contribute to respiratory illnesses. Special exercises help open alveoli, improve gas exchange, and oxygenate the blood. They reduce the likelihood of lung congestion, which is particularly important for preventing infections like pneumonia. Strengthening intercostal muscles, the diaphragm, and auxiliary muscles makes breathing easier — especially crucial for older adults who often experience respiratory muscle weakness.
