First, the benefits of practicing abdominal breathing before going to bed. Practicing abdominal breathing before going to bed can relieve tension and anxiety. When a person feels nervous, the brain will be nervous and anxious, breathing will be accelerated, and the heartbeat will be accelerated. At this time, abdominal breathing becomes smooth, oxygen concentration increases, heartbeat is stable, and tension and anxiety gradually disappear. Secondly, it can regulate the stomach. During abdominal breathing, abdominal muscles constantly fluctuate, gastrointestinal peristalsis increases, and digestive function improves, which helps the human body to better absorb nutrients and discharge metabolic waste. Abdominal breathing helps to keep the stomach healthy. Increasing oxygen supply, abdominal breathing can also promote blood circulation, increase systemic oxygen supply, increase vital capacity and increase energy.
Second, what is abdominal breathing? Abdominal breathing refers to the breathing method that makes the diaphragm sink when breathing, squeezes the internal organs to make the abdomen bulge, and forcibly presses the abdomen when exhaling, which makes the abdomen sag and discharges waste gas. Generally speaking, most people usually take breathing, that is, chest breathing. Compared with chest breathing, abdominal breathing makes the diaphragm move up and down, the diaphragm drops when inhaling, and the stomach expands when the organ is pressed down, not expands. Diaphragm rises when abdominal breathing exhales. Abdominal breathing is a deep breath, which can exhale a lot of metabolic waste gas such as carbon dioxide stranded on the ground of the lungs.
To sum up, practicing abdominal breathing before going to bed can improve cardiopulmonary function. Abdominal breathing makes diaphragm participate in exercise, which is helpful to deepen breathing, massage internal organs, effectively remove excess fat in abdomen, better stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and improve indigestion and constipation.
