How to improve lung capacity

Lung capacity is a sign of a person's physical health. However, due to different physical conditions of each person, the amount of exercise in daily life will also be different, which will also affect each person's lung capacity. However, in general, women's lung capacity is lower than men's, and lung capacity will also show a downward trend as people get older. In daily life, we can improve lung capacity through exercise. How can we improve lung capacity? This is particularly critical.

A decrease in lung capacity will accelerate human aging. Generally, after the age of 35, lung capacity begins to decline gradually with age. At this time, the body's oxygen supply is 5%-10% less than when young, and organ aging will also accelerate. But if you can persist in physical exercise, you can significantly improve your cardiopulmonary function and slow down the aging of the body. Many long-distance runners and swimmers in their forties and fifties have a lung capacity equivalent to that of young people in their twenties, and their physiological age is also relatively younger.

Three ways to improve your lung capacity

So, what exercises can improve lung capacity? Sun Weixing and Wang Xiangdong gave the following methods.

First, stick to jogging, or do endurance sports training such as swimming and playing football. Pay attention to regulating your breathing during exercise, gradually increasing and deepening your breathing, and improving the efficiency and function of your lung breathing.

Secondly, doing some chest expansion exercises every day to improve chest muscle strength can help expand chest cavity capacity and enhance breathing depth.

Third, you can use the regulated breathing method. In a fresh air environment, inhale slowly for 4-5 seconds to allow your lungs to absorb enough oxygen, then exhale slowly, and practice for 5-8 minutes. In addition, games such as blowing balloons and candles can also improve lung capacity.

In our daily life, we need to exercise our bodies, especially to improve our lung capacity through exercise. This is not only good for our lung function, but also helpful to our body. We must pay attention to it in normal times, and we must also exercise more to improve our physical fitness.
