More The basics of breathing to keep your tigers away By Nancy Jerominski of The Federal Way News Share
How on earth can you maintain a nice sunny disposition if you aren't getting enough 02 to the main computer of your body, never mind working out, positive thoughts or razor sharp decision making? Imagine how much better you would think and feel just by properly breathing! Breathing is a critical yet often overlooked part of our wellness.

In the world of the marathon swimmer, the English Channel is considered Mount Everest. Thirty-four kilometers wide at its narrowest point, its rough and chilly waters are no chlorinated paradise, but for Kristin Roe failure is not an option.

When the Marshes adopted another child, Ed told his wife, Ann, "Well, there's one you'll never have swim.'' His pessimism was understandable. Gabe, the seventh of their 10 adopted children, was born with no legs and one arm. Even Ann believed her string of teaching children to swim had ended. By then, her streak had exceeded 60. She and Ed had two biological children, six other adopted children and more than 50 foster children. But Gabe? Gabe, who was four pounds, two ounces when the Marshes took him home on April 6, 2004, a then-four-day-old whose future appeared little more than being "an invalid," in Ed's words. Swimming, in their view, was for children with two arms and two legs. More Which comes first, inactivity or childhood obesity? TIME Share
New research highlighted by the BBC and published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood suggests that the common understanding of the relationship between physical activity and childhood obesity may possibly present things in the wrong order. That is, while it's a widely held belief—and premise of the first lady's Let's Move campaign—that growing inactivity among children is one of the contributing factors to the obesity epidemic, investigators conducting the EarlyBird Diabetes Study suggest that decreased physical activity may actually be a symptom of obesity.
