How to improve lung capacity and breathing

Improving lung capacity is very beneficial to human health, because a higher lung capacity means that the person will not suffer from insufficient oxygen supply. If the lung capacity is relatively low, on the one hand it means that the lung function is not good, and on the other hand it is easy to cause symptoms such as dizziness and headache. Therefore, it is very beneficial to health to exercise lung capacity on a regular basis. The method of exercising lung capacity is also relatively simple. Let us learn about it.

How to improve lung capacity and breathing

1. Take a deep breath. You can increase the amount of air your lungs can absorb in a short period of time, without a long-term investment in exercise or training. The trick is to breathe deeply and steadily.

2. Splash water on your face. Pouring water on your face can speed up your heart rate or slow it down.

3. Try meditating, or just closing your eyes.

4. Choose a place with fresh air and quiet environment, slowly inhale fresh air through your nose, and when you have inhaled to the maximum, exhale slowly through your mouth. When exhaling, open your lips slightly, pull the corners of your mouth back, press the tip of your tongue against the gap between your upper and lower teeth, silently read the word "hiss", and let the air expel from both sides of the tongue. After all the air is exhaled, inhale fresh air through your nose. Repeat this inhalation and exhalation for 36 times.

5. In an environment with fresh air, stretch your arms naturally with your palms facing outward and upward, and guide your arms to slowly expand outward and upward (i.e. raise them diagonally). At this time, take a deep breath, and inhale slowly to fill your lungs with oxygen. Stop for one or two seconds when you can't inhale anymore. Turn your palms forward and lower your arms in an arc. Then bend your body forward and downward as much as possible. Exhale slowly, trying to expel all the turbid air in your lungs. Pause for one or two seconds when you can't exhale anymore. Repeat 50 times.

The benefits of large lung capacity

Vital capacity represents the maximum functional activity of the lungs at one time. It refers to the total amount of air a person breathes out after taking an inhale as hard as he can and then exhaling as hard as he can. It is one of the important functional indicators that reflects the growth and development level of the human body. Vital capacity is mainly used to show a person's cardiopulmonary function. Of course, a person with a large lung capacity has a strong oxygen supply and good cardiopulmonary function.

If the lung capacity is low, the human body will suffer from insufficient oxygen supply, which will cause adverse reactions such as dizziness, headache, chest tightness, memory loss, insomnia, etc. For students, it will also affect their normal study, and for office workers, it will affect their normal work. Therefore, lung capacity is very important to everyone's health, and if you want to improve your lung capacity, you must exercise every day. Exercises such as skipping rope, running, and cycling can improve lung capacity.

No matter what kind of exercise you do, as long as you can stick to it every day, your lung capacity will gradually increase. At the same time, it will also improve the efficiency and function of lung breathing, making everyone healthier. Therefore, people with large lung capacity are generally healthier.
