What is the effect of abdominal breathing?

Breathing is something we are born with, and many people don't need to practice breathing much. And it seems that exercise has no effect. But in fact, this idea is wrong. Breathing can also be exercised to make the body's respiratory function healthier. It can make the lungs more functional and is a very good habit to maintain the body. So what is the effect of abdominal breathing? Let us introduce it to you below.

Many people are only used to breathing with their chest, but this can cause many disadvantages. Abdominal breathing is very beneficial to the lungs. Regular use of this method of breathing can allow more oxygen to enter the lungs and expand the chest cavity, which can effectively increase lung capacity and improve the functions of organs such as the heart and lungs. At the same time, it can also reduce lung infections and promote sleep quality and mental stability. In addition, hypertensive patients can use abdominal breathing to help lower blood pressure.

Abdominal breathing refers to the method of breathing with the abdomen when inhaling and exhaling. The correct method is: inhale with all your strength and then hold your breath for about four seconds, then exhale the air in about eight seconds. Abdominal breathing can expand the chest cavity and increase lung capacity, improve lung function, reduce lung infection, especially it has a good preventive effect on pneumonia. At the same time, it has a significant effect on improving internal organs and the spleen and stomach. For example, patients with hypertension can lower their blood pressure through abdominal breathing. If you suffer from insomnia, you can also use abdominal breathing to help you sleep.

There are three types of normal human breathing. One is chest breathing, another is abdominal breathing, and the last is mixed breathing. Reverse abdominal breathing is done in the opposite way of abdominal breathing. It mainly involves the abdomen naturally retracting when inhaling, and then the lower abdomen bulging outwards when exhaling. The abdomen will contract during reverse abdominal breathing, and relax when exhaling, which will promote abdominal exercise and will not harm the body. If you persist for a long time, you can maintain a good abdominal shape, but you must pay attention to the correct method when doing it so as not to hurt your waist.

The effect of abdominal breathing is still very good. Many body functions can be greatly improved through abdominal breathing. In addition, you should also pay attention to doing other physical function exercises in your daily life. When exercising, you must choose the method according to your own situation, and the amount should not be too large. Otherwise it will harm your body.
