Breathing is the most important function of human beings, but people know little about breathing and often breathe in an incorrect way. In our daily life, due to human factors, our breathing is generally random and irregular. Most people breathe shallowly and irregularly, which violates the natural rhythm of the human respiratory system. In this way, the body can't absorb enough cosmic energy, the nervous system is gradually damaged, and the endocrine system can't function normally. As a result, the body began to lose strength and vitality, leading to frequent fatigue and depression. People's physical condition depends largely on the regularity of breathing, and even the way of breathing can highly reflect a person's mood. When people are upset, such as depression, sadness or depression, their breathing will become slow and irregular. When angry, anxious and nervous, breathing becomes rapid, superficial and chaotic. Persistent irregular breathing not only damages the nervous system, but also hinders the inherent function of endocrine, eventually making the body weak.

Breathing changes with age, and the older you get, the shallower your breath is. Because we never take the initiative to care about our breathing. How important deep breathing is to health. It can make your mind flexible, energetic and feel younger and younger. Ordinary people breathe 65,438+05-65,438+06 times per minute, 5-6 times during meditation, and practice 65,438+0-2 times per minute properly, even breathing slightly like turtles and snakes without consuming energy. Yoga believes that there is a certain limit to the amount of breathing in a person's life. People who are short of breath must die young. On the contrary, people who breathe slowly, like people who taste the air, can live a long life. For example, grumpy monkeys breathe very fast and don't live long, while cranes and turtles breathe slowly and gently and live long. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a thousand-year-old crane is a thousand-year-old turtle, which shows that slow breathing is the key to longevity.

Adjusting breathing is the basic factor of our survival and the necessary foundation of health. Sucking enough cosmic energy into the lungs and supplying it to the body can promote the blood circulation of the heart. The blood flow of money transports energy to all parts of the body. Therefore, if you want to live forever, the secret is to make your breath naturally long.

There are usually three ways of breathing: chest breathing, abdominal breathing and controlled breathing. Most people breathe in the chest (that is, shallow breathing), which makes it a chest exercise. Abdominal breathing is the downward movement of diaphragm, and practicing breathing should be our way of survival.

Diaphragm breathing exercise

You can take any posture, such as lying on your back, sitting still or standing. When lying flat or standing, your feet are moderately separated, your eyes are lightly closed, one hand is placed on your chest and the other hand is placed above your abdomen. So as to feel the activities of diaphragm and abdominal muscles. Then inhale and exhale slowly and slender through the nasal cavity, without vibration or pause. Then increase the process of normal breathing. When exhaling, try to spit out the air for several times, then deliberately deflate the abdominal muscles inward and gently contract the lungs to exhale. Then inhale and suck it up, but don't force it, the abdomen will return to its original state. When inhaling, you will find that the lower part of the abdominal wall and ribs are pushed outward, and the chest is only slightly moved. This breathing is formed by the contraction and depression of the diaphragm. Practice 3-5 times a day for 3-5 minutes a day. Diaphragm breathing has three major effects on the body: Diaphragm breathing is different from shallow breathing, which can fill the whole lung with cosmic energy and supply enough oxygen for the body.

Diaphragm breathes and exhales waste gas, polluted air and carbon dioxide in the body.

The diaphragm moves up and down, just like a gentle massage, which promotes the blood circulation of viscera and enhances its function.

Diaphragm breathing is an extremely effective breathing method, because it can get a lot of fresh air with the least effort.
