Abdominal breathing means moving the diaphragm up and down. Because when inhaling, the diaphragm will drop and squeeze the organs below, so the stomach will expand, not the chest. Therefore, when exhaling, the diaphragm will rise higher than usual, so you can take a deep breath and spit out more carbon dioxide that is easy to stay at the bottom of the lung.

First, it can increase the activity range of diaphragm, and the movement of diaphragm directly affects the ventilation of lung. ?
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.
Second, 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.
Third, reduce lung infection, especially the possibility of pneumonia.
Fourth, 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.
Fifth, soothe the nerves and improve intelligence.
Sixth, abdominal breathing can effectively eliminate excess abdominal fat, which is the first choice for women who love beauty.
