Cardiovascular disease is an umbrellas
term for a number of diseases that affect the heart and blood
vessels. The disease is becoming more and more prevalent in our
societies with figures from the World Health Organization estimating
that 17.5 million individuals die each year from cardiovascular
related diseases.
Many potential causes have been
implicated a being responsible for the dramatic increase in
cardiovascular disease such as smoking, leading a sedentary lifestyle
and suffering from excess stress and burnout.
We know that excess stress places a
huge strain on our hearts. Too much and we are likely to increase the
chances of us suffering a premature heart attack. The Nirvana®
Breathing fitness represents a wonderful complimentary treatment to
reduce the risks associated with cardiovascular disease.
The system
promotes holistic healing and enhances vitality through a unique two
pronged approach:
Breathing Mechanics & Blood
Chemistry Optimisation
It is well established that individuals
with heart disease breathe a far greater quantity of air at rest than
healthy individuals. As a result of this cardiovascular patients
often have extremely low levels of CO2 concentrated in their blood
vessels and lungs. CO2 is vital to health as it acts as a vasodilator
which allows for healthy distribution of blood throughout the body.
Hyperventilation or over-breathing
causes fats to metabolized in an abnormal fashion. This process
occurs over an extended period of time (months & years)
cholesterol is deposited on the walls of the blood vessels. As these
deposits grow larger and larger the risk for a heart attack grows
dangerously high.
The Nirvana® Breathing fitness
retrains individuals to breathe correctly which over time allows them
to re-balance the levels of CO2 in their bloodstream and achieve
optimum health.
Stress Reduction
Through the system’s gentle movement,
rhythmic breathing patterns and soothing binaural beats the total
level of stress within the body is greatly reduced. Exercise has long
been touted as having anti-inflammatory and stress reducing effects
on the body.
The Nirvana® Breathing fitness takes
these benefits one step further. Reductions in levels of cortisol and
other inflammatory markers are elicited by the synergistic
combination of the breath and movement.
Total mental and physical relaxation
combined with lowered body stress markers means that not only are you
at less of a risk for a cardiac event but almost every single other
aspect of your health will improve too.
The Nirvana® Breathing fitness system
is leading us into a new age of how we think about exercise. By
taking a holistic approach, it allows us to treat our illness at its
root.
In conjunction with traditional treatment by your physician,
the Nirvana method can help you to regain control over your health
and start living a healthy and vibrant life.
