Barefoot Herbalist MH wrote that:
“On the other hand, if you only want to live to be a hundred or so and eat what you want, you should be able to. Study breathing for longevity and search for the author that was 110 years old when he wrote his book on breathing and at age 76 he was a near dead man and remembered what a man from India taught him about breathing and he did a 5 minute excercise in bed before rising and he ate what he wanted and at age 110, he had his hair and good eyes to prove breathing is number 1, now if you want to really live, eat human foods and eat right, WOW, you may really turn the clock backwards.”
So people have asked MH what is this exercise? MH answered:
“The one in bed is to take a large breathe and then raise your legs/knees to your chest, this presses all your organs. Back and forth for a count of 10 before getting out of bed each morning. I have also read in other books to not hold your breathe at all, so I just do what is comfortable.”
Sounds like an easy regimen to add every morning. At least I will have a morning ritual.
