Reliant Rehab's wellness theme for the month of March focuses on respiratory health and the importance of proper breathing techniques. Individuals with lung disease often experience shallow breathing, reduced oxygen circulation, and fatigue, but targeted pulmonary exercises can strengthen breathing muscles, improve oxygen flow, and enhance overall quality of life.
Here are 3 effective breathing techniques to help strengthen the lungs:
1️⃣ Pursed Lip Breathing – Helps increase exhalation efficiency and oxygen circulation.
2️⃣ Deep Breathing – Calms the nervous system while exercising the diaphragm.
3️⃣ Diaphragmatic Breathing – Trains abdominal muscles to support full lung expansion.
💡 The Benefits of Proper Breathing:
✔️ Releases endorphins, the body's natural painkiller
✔️ Improves blood flow & reduces inflammation
✔️ Supports posture & digestion
✔️ Detoxifies the body by releasing carbon dioxide
✔️ Relaxes the mind & body for overall well-being
Better breathing leads to better living! Let’s take a deep breath and make lung health a priority this month. 💙
