GPT-4: Question #2

"What's the best breathwork exercise to do in the morning to start my metabolism?"

While I am an AI language model and not a licensed health professional, I can provide you with a popular breathwork exercise that many people find helpful for starting their metabolism in the morning. The Wim Hof Method, also known as the "Iceman" technique, has gained popularity for its potential benefits in boosting metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being.

Here's a simplified version of the Wim Hof Method:

1. Find a comfortable place to sit or lie down. Make sure you won't be disturbed during this exercise.
2. Begin by taking 30-40 deep breaths. Inhale fully through your nose, and exhale passively through your mouth, not forcing the air out. You might feel light-headed or tingly; this is normal.
3. After completing the 30-40 breaths, exhale completely, and hold your breath for as long as you comfortably can. Do not push yourself to the point of discomfort.
4. When you feel the need to breathe, inhale deeply and hold it for 10-15 seconds.
5. Exhale and relax.

You can repeat this cycle 2-3 times in the morning to potentially help kick-start your metabolism. Remember, always listen to your body and never push yourself beyond your limits. If you have any health concerns or medical conditions, consult your healthcare provider before trying any new breathwork exercises.
