Does Breathing Really Stop You Feeling Hungry?

“Breathing in really means taking in nutrients in gaseous form. A good proportion of our body weight is made from inhaled atoms and not from food.

Re-balancing your diet is not just about food but building up a daily practice of resting and breathing to restore your energy. Hunger feelings may actually mean your body needs some fresh air.
