How can I exercise my lung capacity?

When we often feel tired and gasping for breath after doing some exercise occasionally, it is a sign of insufficient lung capacity. When we shout loudly a few times in our daily lives and feel discomfort in our lungs and lack of oxygen, this is also a symptom of insufficient lung capacity. Insufficient lung capacity also means that our physical fitness is poor, and we need to carry out corresponding exercises to improve lung capacity and enhance physical fitness. Let’s take a look at the specific methods below.

Chest expansion exercise: Do chest expansion and chest stretching exercises 50 times twice a day, preferably after getting up and before going to bed, which can effectively prevent a decrease in lung capacity.

Stand up straight: If you maintain the correct posture of keeping your head up, chest out, and back straight for a long time, your lung capacity can increase by 5% to 20%, and the amount of oxygen obtained by various tissues in the body will also increase accordingly. Keeping your chest up can also enhance your brain's memory.

Walking in water: If you can't swim, it is recommended to walk in water at a certain speed, and the water depth should preferably be above the waist. Fast once for 15 minutes, rest for 5 minutes, walk for 10 minutes, rest for 5 minutes, and walk for 15 minutes again. Practice twice a week for significant results.

Sing: Singing is also a good way to increase lung capacity. The beautiful melody of the song can make people intoxicated and forget their worries; when singing, one should pay attention to regulating the energy and mind, and breathe evenly and deeply, which is beneficial to the body and mind.

Eat apples regularly: Apples and tomatoes are most helpful in helping the body breathe more smoothly. Eating at least 5 apples or 3 tomatoes a week can significantly improve lung function. At the same time, eating bananas regularly will not cause breathing difficulties.

The above are some good ways to exercise lung capacity. Don’t ignore the importance of lung capacity. Currently, medicine has made measuring lung capacity an important project to detect aging. This also indirectly shows that if our lung capacity is insufficient, it means that our body functions are beginning to show signs of aging. So from now on, let us exercise every day to exercise our lung capacity.
