Email Apnea

Definition: temporary absence or suspension of breathing, or shallow breathing, while doing e-mail

Holding your breath causes a number of physical responses in the body, as researcher and author Linda Stone points out in her article on email apnea.

Just pay attention as you open your email today and see if you are holding your breath -- thereby increasing your  blood pressure (which no one needs these days) and increase our stress and muscle tension.  The first step on the path to a healthier you is to breathe!
