When you reach the maximum capacity of your lungs, hold your breath for 5 seconds. Exhale as much air as possible. Make sure that you exhale slowly and empty the lungs completely or as much as your health level permits. Repeat the procedure 10 times in each set. It is advisable to do 3-4 sets of deep breathing exercises throughout the day. Perform Pursed-lip breathing will help you increase the oxygen intake of your lungs, while decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide. Start by relaxing your entire body. You can do this in a sitting or standing position. Inhale through your nose within a span of 3 seconds. Before you exhale, you need to purse your lips as if you are going to kiss somebody. Exhale through your pursed lips within a span of 6 seconds. Inhale and exhale slowly. Don’t force the air to come in and out the lungs. Repeat the procedure. Pursed-lip breathing is done when the patient has shortness of breath. This breathing exercise should be repeated until shortness of breath is diminished. The diaphragm is the muscle that pushes and pulls air in and out of the lungs. Start by lying down on your back and bend your knees. Place one of your hands on your belly and another hand on your chest. Take a deep breath. Let your belly and lower rib cage rise while making sure that the upper chest cavity won’t move. This is the challenge you need to overcome in diaphragm breathing. Inhaling should take about 3 seconds. Exhale for 6 seconds. You need to purse your lips as well to better control your breathing. Repeat the whole procedure. At first, this exercise might be difficult for you. However, more practice and repetition of this exercise can train the diaphragm and will eventually increase your lung capacity. As time passes by, diaphragm breathing will become easier. Doing huff-cough breathing will help eliminate bacteria and respiratory secretions by triggering the cough reflex. Sit down or elevate the head of the bed if you can’t get up. Relax and prepare yourself. To do the huff-cough exercise:  Step 1: Perform 3 to 5 deep breathing exercise. Combine your breathing with the pursed-lips and diaphragm breathing exercise. Push out air as if you are coughing. When you have done 3-5 cycles of deep breathing, open your mouth but do not exhale yet. You need to hold your breath, tighten your chest and abdomen. Step 2: Force air out from the lungs in a fast manner. If you have done this correctly, you will elicit the cough reflex and loosened secretions stuck within your respiratory tract. If phlegm comes out, spit it out and repeat the whole procedure.

SUMMARY: Practice deep breathing. Do pursed-lip breathing. Try breathing from your diaphragm. Practice huff-cough breathing.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pick a room or area in your house that will be designated as your toddler’s space to play in. Remove all dangerous or sharp objects from the room and fill the space with safe toys. Set the room or space apart from the rest of the house by securing it with a baby gate. The kitchen can be very dangerous to your child because it is filled with this that can burn, cut or injure your toddler. To prevent your child from getting into the kitchen, put a baby gate in the doorway of the kitchen to keep your child out. Having a gate can also be useful because you can work in the kitchen and keep an eye on your child in the next room, as baby gates keep you from having to shut the kitchen door. Give your child a toy that is adapted to your child’s specific age. In particular, look for soft toys that don’t have any small parts that could break off. The toy should also be free of sharp parts that could cut your child. If your child were to knock something over, like a vase, that shatters, your child could get cut. Because of this, it is important to remove breakable objects from the reach of your child. If you put the breakable objects out of reach of your child, make sure that they are on a stable surface that your child cannot move. For example, if the vase were put on a table that could be moved around easily, your child might lean on the table and accidentally cause the vase to fall and shatter. Instead, put the vase on something sturdy. Chemicals can be very dangerous because your child could swallow them, and some can be very toxic. Household products often contain sulfuric and phosphoric acid, chlorine, ammonia, formaldehyde and phenol. To keep these chemicals out of the reach of your child:  Close the door of the room containing the chemicals. If you cannot close the door for some reason, make sure you put all the chemicals out of the reach your children. Paints and varnishes can also be extremely toxic and should be kept away from children or avoided. There are some household plants that can actually be toxic if eaten. Because of this, it is important to make sure that all of your houseplants are not toxic, in case your toddler decides to chew on a leaf. Some of these toxic household plants include:  Aloe Vera, Burn Plant, Chrysanthemums, Cyclamen, Heart leaf philodendron, Philodendron, and Azaleas. Additionally, do not use stones as decorations because your child could try to eat the stones, or could fall and injure him or herself on the stones. Put a fence or grate around the fireplace and put padding on all the sharp edges and corners. If your child tends to play near the fireplace, you may want to consider not using the fireplace until the child has grown up a bit and knows not to go near or try to touch the fire. An often overlooked source of poisoning is the over-the-counter medications or prescriptions that some women keep in their purses for when they are away from home. Adult strength medications can be very detrimental to the small body of a toddler. Toddlers should never be allowed to play with purses, even though it may seem cute, because one person’s purse might be full of safe things for a toddler to play with, but someone else’s might not be.

SUMMARY: Set up a play room or play area for your child. Install a baby gate in your kitchen doorway. Give your child safe toys to play with. Remove vases and other fragile objects. Keep any dangerous chemicals out of reach or locked up. Avoid keeping any toxic plants in your home. Protect your toddler from the fireplace. Don’t allow your toddler to play with your purse.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: People don’t want to buy from a lackluster salesman. Although that doesn’t mean you should be bouncing off the walls with excitement, make sure that whatever it is you choose to sell is something you feel strongly about. Your feelings show in your pitch. Be aware of how your product compares to others on the market, and be able to make a case for yours. You need to make your product or service more appealing than all the others out there, and part of doing that is being well educated about the pros and cons of what you’re offering. In order to successfully sell something, you need to sell it to the right person. Not everyone is going to want a photography package or a special phone service, so find the person who does.  Advertise your product or service in areas which this type of buyer might see it. Don’t force a sale on a buyer if you realize they aren’t interested in what you are offering. This will only annoy them further and frustrate you. You can’t sell anything if you don’t know the ins and outs of it. Be sure that you know every detail about what you’re selling, so that no questions by buyers can go unanswered.

SUMMARY:
Sell something you’re passionate about. Know where you stand. Understand your audience. Educate yourself.
