I often hear people complain that I get fat when I drink water or even breathe. But in fact, drinking the right water will make you thinner, and breathing on the other side will make you thinner faster!
More precisely, abdominal breathing can burn subcutaneous fat and visceral fat, suppress appetite, breast enlargement and shaping, improve edema, improve sciatica and lower blood pressure, and such deep and heavy breathing can accelerate the metabolism of toxins in the body, reaching 15 times as much as usual. This is a miracle.
Eighty percent of people are used to chest breathing, that is, breathing in which the chest expands when inhaling. This way of breathing only uses 1/3~ 1/6 of vital capacity, so the muscles in the lower abdomen are easy to relax and deform.
Because yoga is becoming more and more popular, abdominal breathing sucks a lot of oxygen into the abdomen (the amount of air inhaled is three times that of normal breathing), so it will move to the diaphragm and abdominal muscles, which can increase the elasticity of waist and abdominal muscles and improve sagging and relaxation. Some studies have pointed out that when abdominal breathing is carried out, the body temperature will rise and it is easy to sweat. Experts believe that this is evidence of burning fat through the exercise effect of abdominal breathing. According to the sports theories of Tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga, abdominal breathing can complete the efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, promote the blood circulation of the whole body, and then activate cells, so long-term practice can make people look shiny and make their skin firm and light.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this way of breathing can also nourish the liver and viscera, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and accelerate metabolism. From the perspective of western medicine, abdominal breathing can make the brain produce alpha brain waves, enhance the secretion of endorphins in the brain, and contribute to thinking and creativity. It can even produce a prostaglandin substance, which can slow down the destruction of oxide free radicals and achieve the effect of antioxidant maintenance! (Just say it's a miracle! )
Abdominal breathing:
1. Consciously inhale through the nose until the abdomen bulges. Putting your hand on your stomach helps you feel whether the air is really sucked into your abdomen. Inhale for about 4 seconds and hold your breath 16 seconds.
2. Press your hand on your stomach, and then exhale with a whirring sound in your mouth, feeling that your abdomen is gradually flattened and the air is completely spit out. Take 8 seconds to spit it out slowly and evenly without interruption.
Abdominal breathing can move to the muscles or because the diaphragm descends to the internal organs, or accelerate metabolism, which sounds reasonable. The coolest thing is that it will help to lose weight because it affects the intestinal temperature. It's really cool!
The principle of abdominal breathing to lose weight
Breathing is a normal physiological phenomenon of human beings and an important way to keep fit. A person's breath carries the energy of life.
Scientists have found that people's lungs are as big as two footballs on average, but most people only use one-third of their abilities in their lives. A recent survey by American health scientists shows that at least half of the urban population in developed and developing countries breathe incorrectly. Many people's breathing is too short, and they often exhale in a hurry before the inhaled fresh air reaches the lower end of the lungs, which is equivalent to not absorbing the beneficial components in the fresh air.
People sitting in the office usually have short breath and short breath because of the cramped and fixed sitting posture, so there is still insufficient ventilation and carbon dioxide accumulation in the body under the normal breathing frequency; Coupled with working with the brain for a long time, the body consumes a lot of oxygen, which in turn causes hypoxia in the brain. Therefore, white-collar workers often have office syndrome such as dizziness, fatigue and lethargy. Repeated abdominal breathing can increase the blood circulation and oxygen content of the body and accelerate the burning of body fat. At the same time, breathing can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help the excretion of harmful substances through the intense squeezing movement of diaphragm and abdominal muscles.
Wonderful recommendation: office workers learn to reduce weight by abdominal breathing.
