    Tuesday, October 19th at 1:00pm- Lecture by Lynn McCarthy on Breathing and Why it Matters

    This in person lecture will be presented by Lynn McCarthy on October 19th at 1pm. Call the senior center to register at 860-434-4127
    Proper breathing:
     is the quickest way to calm the mind & body
     minimizes the effects of Covid/Delta
     manages the inflammation caused by cortisol
     an increase longevity
     and so many more health benefits

    Humans having lost the ability to breathe properly is why we’re suffering from a laundry list of maladies—snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, autoimmune disease, allergies, to name a few. According to research, the ways in which we take in that air and exhale it is as important as what we eat, how much we exercise, or whatever genes we’ve inherited. Sounds crazy, right? But this is exactly what neurologists, rhinologists, and pulmonologists working at some of the most prestigious research institutions are finding. Honing these skills can help us live longer and healthier lives.
