Fashion Tip: Sucking It In - Bad For Your Health!

I think we are all guilty of this, whether it’s to put on a sexy red skintight dress, to fit in that new pair of skinny jeans, or even a girdle. As much as we love to do this, we are robbing ourselves of much-needed oxygen, which makes your metabolism slower.

“Belly breathing” is the best type of breathing, as it allows your lungs to fill and contract properly. Sucking in your stomach all day may give you that sleek look you are trying to achieve, but it doesn’t allow your diaphragm to drop and give your lungs the ability to completely fill with air. This can cause tension in your neck and shoulders, give you anxiety, as well as a slew of other issues.

So what is the solution?  Instead of trying to hide your problem area all of the time, attempt to address it. Look into exercise and diets that can assist in the elimination of the excess in that particular area.
