How to quickly increase lung capacity

We all know that vital capacity is the simplest way to detect whether the lungs are developing normally. However, in our daily lives, many people have very low vital capacity due to long-term smoking and lack of exercise. Sometimes they are out of breath after walking a few steps. If we exercise more often, we can also improve our vital capacity. Let's learn how to quickly increase our vital capacity.

How to quickly increase lung capacity

The maximum inhalation volume exercise is a deep breathing exercise. The purpose of the exercise is to open all the idle, reserved alveoli that are not used in normal breathing, so that they can play a role in singing, so as to obtain the maximum inhalation volume in singing. Therefore, this exercise is to force air into the lungs to activate all the alveoli.

The requirements of the exercise are: "Relax your whole body, breathe in and out slowly, exhale completely, inhale three times and exhale once, inhale enough, and let the qi sink into your dantian." The key is to "exhale completely" and "inhale fully". Stand naturally, relax your whole body, and slowly exhale the air in your lungs. At the end of exhaling, contract your abdomen forcefully to expel all the air in your lungs. When you can't inhale anymore for the first time, hold your breath for 3 seconds. At this time, you will feel the air sinking into your lower abdomen. Then take a second breath, and then hold your breath for 3 seconds. Then take a third breath, until you have inhaled enough and can't inhale anymore, then exhale slowly.

This is the method of three inhales and one exhale. The three-breath method can activate the normally inactive alveoli, thereby relatively increasing lung capacity. "Qi sinking into Dantian" means to feel the degree of expansion of your abdomen when you inhale the maximum amount of air. When you first practice, the abdomen may bulge above the navel. After a period of practice, the abdomen below the navel will also bulge. Finally, you can practice until the lower abdomen above the pubic bone is completely bulged. At this time, the amount of air inhaled by the lungs has reached the maximum. The ancient Chinese called this "Qi sinking into Dantian."

Practice this exercise once a day, 36 breaths each time, which takes about 15 minutes. You can practice it during your vocal practice time, or you can practice it at any time. This exercise takes about a month and generally meets the requirements. You can practice it frequently in the future to consolidate your breathing ability. This breathing method originated from the "tranquility and breathing" technique used by the ancient Taoists in the cultivation of both sex and life. Regular practice can not only increase lung capacity, but also promote blood circulation due to the increased oxygen supply, thereby enhancing physical strength.

If you have time, practice 2 or 3 times a day, it will not do any harm to your body. When practicing, you may sometimes feel a part of your body getting a little hot. This is a phenomenon that promotes blood circulation. You can ignore it and just continue practicing.

The above is an introduction on how to quickly increase lung capacity. After understanding it, we know that if we want to improve lung capacity, we must exercise more often. We can do more running or swimming, etc., which can well improve lung capacity. In addition, it is best not to smoke and drink a lot in daily life, as this will have a certain impact on the health of the lungs.
