What are the disadvantages of abdominal breathing

If you want to keep your body healthy, you must start with some very basic things. Good living habits and eating habits are indispensable. In addition, some body functions are normal. This way the body can be in a healthier state. If there is a problem with these body functions, serious disease symptoms will appear. Such as respiratory function. So what are the disadvantages of abdominal breathing? Let us introduce it in detail below.

1. When doing abdominal breathing, a substance called prostaglandin is produced in the body, which can eliminate active nutrients and dilate blood vessels. When you do abdominal breathing and move your diaphragm, it will penetrate into the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels from the cells, remove active toxins and promote blood circulation. In addition, abdominal breathing can stimulate the internal organs of the abdomen through the rhythm of breathing. This stimulation is transmitted to the brain through the nerves as a self-regulating signal of a gentle breathing rhythm. After receiving this stimulation, the brain enters the alpha state.

2. People rely on breathing to survive. If breathing stops, people will die immediately. Breathing is so important that it is almost equal to life. Only people who breathe have vitality. However, most people only use shallow breathing (chest breathing), so only 1/3 of the lungs are used, and the other 2/3 of the lungs are filled with old air. If you breathe using abdominal breathing (conscious breathing), your lungs can be fully utilized. Abdominal breathing allows the body to fully utilize the air it breathes while also taking in more oxygen. In this way, it can not only purify the blood, but also promote the activation of brain cells.

3. Good breathing is done "slowly" under consciousness, and "deep" breathing is also very important. In other words, breathing slowly and deeply while being conscious is one of the most effective ways to create alpha waves. Abdominal breathing can keep brain waves below 12 Hz. In terms of brain physiology, this is the time when alpha waves are most likely to appear. At the same time, it can increase the secretion of the hormone endorphin in the brain, which helps the development of creativity.

The disadvantages of abdominal breathing have been clearly explained above. If we want to keep our body healthier, we need to pay more attention to maintenance in many aspects in our daily life. Even some aspects that don't seem to require special attention must be maintained in order to make our bodies healthier.
