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.

Extended data:
Abdominal breathing can be divided into forward breathing and reverse breathing. Forward-leaning breathing refers to gently expanding abdominal muscles when inhaling, inhaling as deeply as possible under the premise of feeling comfortable, and contracting muscles when exhaling. Reverse breathing is the opposite of forward breathing, that is, gently contract the abdominal muscles when inhaling and then relax when exhaling.
In this way, breathing will become slow, occupying only about half of the vital capacity. Gently press the tip of the tongue to the upper jaw.
The subtle difference between reverse breathing and forward breathing: breathing only involves the muscles of the lower abdomen, that is, the pubic region directly below the navel. Gently contract the muscles in this area when inhaling, and relax when exhaling.
