We have known art of breathing from start of civilization on earth.

Yes, Breathing is an art.

Right kind of breathing can lead to a healthy and long life.
But people have forgotten to breathe properly.

There are three Nadi in our body in which pranvayu travels.

Ida, Pingala and Sushumna.

Sushumna is activated only when we have proper mastery and control over Ida and Pingala.

Nowadays people can even control these two Nadi.
You can overcome most of the diseases by just controlling your breathing through balanced Ida and Pingala.

Normally we can't breathe with both nostrils at same time.

It's either from left or from right.
Left nostril is home to Ida or Chandra Nadi while Right nostril is home to Pingala or Surya Nadi.

Sushumna is activated only through rigorous pranayam and Dhyan techniques.

Experts of Pranayam and Yoga tell that breathing from Ida can soothe and cool your mind and body.
While Pingala breathing can lead to warmth and keep you active and energetic.

Normally, we don't breathe to our full extent.
This minimises the capacity of lungs and restricts proper benefits.
By proper training of Pranayam you learn how to breathe properly.
You can practice longer and deeper breathing.

In anulom vilom, you alternatively keep breathing in from one nose and out from other.

This balances both Ida and Pingala while giving your body a balance.
A healthy person should complete 15 breathing cycle in a minute. That is 900 cycle in a hour and 21,600 cycles in a day. Following this parameter and practicing Pranayam can lead to a healthy life and you can prevent many diseases from taking a toll on your health.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.

3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
