There are some simple exercises that have great effects on the respiratory organs, especially the lungs. Those are the following 4 exercises:
1. Take a deep breath
When the body is at rest, the lungs take in 12 to 15 breaths per minute. To train the lungs, we should practice deep breathing and can do it at any time of the day.
This way is very simple. Just relax your facial muscles, slowly inhale the air into your lungs as deeply as you can, and then exhale through your mouth. Deep breathing helps to expand the chest cavity, allowing oxygen to be distributed throughout the body and removing carbon dioxide (CO2).
Experts recommend regular deep breathing before going to bed at night and after waking up in the morning. This will help relax your body and mind.
2. Bend and breathe to expel all the air in the lungs
To do this it is necessary to perform an action. The practitioner will stand up straight, release the knees, and then slowly bend the abdomen, bend down and breathe out when going out.
Then, just raise your head and return to the same standing position as before, breathing in. Raise your arms straight up to the sky so that your lungs can expand. The time to inhale and hold air in the lungs lasts about 20 seconds. Do this 4 times in a row.
3. Sit properly and breathe
Scientific studies have found that a distorted sitting posture, arched back will cause the lungs to not expand properly when breathing, leading to shallow breathing and reducing the amount of oxygen in the blood.
When this happens, it is necessary to correct the posture. Back should be straight, feet flat on the floor, legs slightly extended, knees should be lower than hips.
