What are the benefits of abdominal breathing? Abdominal breathing is generally used for health care. Because the inhaled oxygen is two to three times more than normal, it can also be used to treat diseases in various parts of human internal organs. Its advantages are:
1. can increase the range of diaphragm activity, and diaphragm abdominal breathing is generally used for health care. Because the inhaled oxygen is two to three times more than normal, it can also be used to treat diseases in various parts of human internal organs. Muscle movement directly affects lung ventilation.
Studies have proved that the pulmonary ventilation can be increased by 250 ~ 300 ml for every decrease of diaphragm 1 cm. Persisting in abdominal breathing for half a year can increase the range of diaphragm activity by four centimeters. This is of great benefit to the improvement of lung function, and it is one of the important rehabilitation measures for pulmonary ventilation disorders such as emphysema in the elderly.
2. Expand vital capacity and improve cardiopulmonary function. It can expand the chest to the maximum extent, make the alveoli in the lower part of the lung expand and contract, let more oxygen enter the lungs, and improve the cardiopulmonary function.
3. Reduce the possibility of lung infection, especially pneumonia.
4. It can improve the function of abdominal organs. It can improve the function of spleen and stomach, and is beneficial to soothing the liver and benefiting the gallbladder. Abdominal breathing can reduce blood pressure by reducing abdominal pressure, which is very beneficial to patients with hypertension.
5. soothe the nerves and improve intelligence.
6. Abdominal breathing can effectively eliminate excess abdominal fat and is the first choice for women.
Practice method inhalation
Take a supine position or a comfortable sitting position, you can put one hand on your navel, relax your whole body, breathe naturally first, then inhale, and expand your abdomen to the maximum extent, so that your abdomen bulges and your chest remains motionless.
expiration
Abdominal breathing The abdomen sinks naturally, facing the spine inward, and the chest remains motionless. Try to contract the abdomen inward and exhale all the exhaust gas from the lungs. When doing so, the diaphragm will naturally rise. Cycle back and forth, keep the rhythm of each breath consistent, and carefully experience the ups and downs of the abdomen.
The key to abdominal breathing is: inhale and exhale as far as possible to reach the "limit", that is, you can no longer inhale and exhale; In the same way, the abdomen should contract and expand to the extreme, and it would be better if you went straight to Xiadantian every time you breathe.
Abdominal breathing is generally used for health care. Because the inhaled oxygen is two to three times more than normal, it can also be used to treat diseases in various parts of human internal organs. For example, if you have a headache, when you take a deep breath, your heel suddenly leaves the ground, forcing the gas to go straight to your head and then exhale. Of course, different rehabilitation treatments should be accompanied by drugs and carried out under the guidance of doctors.
