Shallow breathing, which is how most of us breathe, results in only a small percentage of the millions of air sacs which make up the lungs being used to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and other waste products. This leads to an imperfect and superficial ventilation of the lungs, with depleted air remaining in the lungs hour after hour and even day after day. Even with thirty breaths a minute, the greater part of the lungs remains unused; there is too much movement and too little real breathing. Such a state of affairs needs correction.
