Can abdominal breathing lose weight?
You can lose weight, but for the strength of the abdomen, the breathing intensity of abdominal breathing is still limited. After each breath, the abdomen and intestines will be stimulated to a certain extent, and the body fat will be burned well. Repeated breathing can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help the excretion of harmful substances in the body through the intense squeezing movement of diaphragm and abdominal muscles. It can also increase the blood circulation and oxygen content of the body and accelerate the burning of body fat. Emphasize the key of slowness, length and depth.
The benefits of abdominal breathing
Breathing exercise affects the lungs. After changing the way of breathing, the lungs will start to discharge a lot of waste gas, which will speed up the operation of body organs. 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.
Not only the lungs and intestines, but also the liver and gallbladder every time the internal force comes out. And abdominal breathing will drive the body and avoid many diseases. Persisting in training is still very effective. Abdominal breathing is conducive to soothing the liver and benefiting the gallbladder, promoting the secretion and excretion of bile, avoiding excessive bile in the gallbladder and avoiding the occurrence of gallstones.
Practice abdominal breathing correctly
First, posture, it is recommended to sit or stand, relax the upper chest and shoulders, because when we sit and stand, the diaphragm can let us breathe to the maximum because of gravity. If we are supine, the diaphragm will move up and the breathing effect will be worse. In the worst case, you can only take a semi-recumbent position, but it is not recommended to take a supine position.
The second hand position is that the right hand is placed on the abdomen to provide tactile feedback, and the left hand is placed on the chest.
Third, the control of breathing, when inhaling, the abdomen bulges outward, so that the hands in the abdomen are gradually pushed outward, the gas is sucked into your right hand, and the left hand in the chest feels the smallest movement.
Fourth, training time, encourage patients to take abdominal breathing for ten minutes to one hour every day, two or three times a day.
The fifth effect test shows that the abdomen moves back and forth greatly, while the chest moves less, which shows that the technology is effective.
