In our quest to LIVE2B100—not just in years, but in vitality—one of the most powerful tools is already within us: our breath.
Rooted in ancient Indian wisdom and now backed by modern science, Pranayam (breath control) is more than a relaxation technique. It is a proven way to stimulate the body’s natural healing system—what we at Simpli5 call Nature’s Own Pharmacy.
Why Pranayama for Active Ageing?
As we age, stress, inflammation, poor sleep, and reduced oxygenation quietly erode our health. Pranayam reverses that:
Improves Brain Health:
Deep, rhythmic breathing boosts oxygen to the brain, improving memory, focus, and mental clarity.
Balances Body Chemistry:
Pranayama helps regulate hormones like cortisol (stress), melatonin (sleep), and serotonin (mood), restoring inner balance.
Enhances Lung Function:
Regular practice strengthens respiratory muscles and improves oxygen exchange—vital for immunity and energy.
Reduces Anxiety & Promotes Emotional Well-being:
Activating the parasympathetic nervous system through controlled breathing lowers heart rate, reduces anxiety, and promotes calmness.
Supports Physical Resilience:
Better oxygenation supports muscle recovery, joint flexibility, and overall stamina—helping seniors stay independent and active.

Tip: Start Small, Breathe Deep
Begin with 5 minutes a day. Try simple techniques like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) or Bhramari (humming breath). Practice on an empty stomach, in a quiet space, and be consistent.
LIVE2B100 is not just about living longer—it’s about living better.
Let your breath be your daily medicine.
Activate your inner pharmacy. Start with a breath.
