Cleanse the lungs with deep breathing |
|
Do you know the capacity of your lungs is 6 litres of air and that you breath in 9000 litres every day?
Still, it does not mean your lungs work at their full capacity.
Unfortunately, most people use only a part of their lungs because they apply shallow breathing, which prevents the oxygen from reaching all the parts of this vital organ.
If you don't use your whole lungs by not applying the deep breathing method and other methods that help the lungs, harmful substances may accumulate in them.
You have certainly experienced the consequences of toxin accumulation – headache, difficulties breathing, vertigo and other ailments caused by a reduced lung function.
How can you change it?
Simply – by using a method that you already apply no less than 23,000 times daily.
Breathe in!
But this time deeply, feeling how the oxygen performs miracle for your whole organism.
Deep breathing for cleaner lungs and healthier organism
Shallow breathing is a consequence of lifelong habits, poor posture, stiff muscles and insufficient physical activity.
Although the lungs are not a muscle, they need exercising too.
Deep breathing is the best workout which will quickly and simply cleanse your lungs and ensure a regular exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Through deep breathing,you will stimulate the expansion of the diaphragm muscle and fill the alveoli (air bags) with greater ease, thus securing more oxygen to the whole organism.
You will expel the accumulated toxins and experience many other benefits.
Slow, deep breathing from the stomach will encourage correct posture and the trunk muscles involved in breathing. Thus, your spine will also be grateful for it.
The lungs participate in the hormonal system of the blood pressure control. That is why deep breathing exercises may serve you as a natural aid against hypertension.
They will also relax you and calm you down, as they are a great stress-control method.
How to perform deep breathing
In order to find out whether you exercise correctly, place one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest.
- Find a peaceful and silent place. Nature would be ideal, but any space in which you feel well would do.
- Sit down, close your eyes and start breathing deeply, through the nose. Breathe slowly.
- Count to five while breathing in. Focus on your stomach – start there, let it "fill up" first, and then the lungs.
- Breath in as much as you can, until your lungs and the stomach are completely filled with air.
- Hold your air for a few seconds (3 to 5), and then slowly breathe out, again counting to five.
- Exhale completely, as much as you can. Keep on exhaling even when you think there is no atom of air left. You will feel your stomach pulling inwards, towards your spine.
- When you have completely exhaled, inhale again.
- Repeat this exercise ten times.
Introduce this method into your everyday routine in order to aid your lungs and at the same time supply your body with new energy and zeal.
You will soon find out how useful it is.
