What are the benefits of abdominal breathing test

There are many ways to breathe, such as abdominal breathing. Different breathing methods have different effects on the body. Due to different physical conditions or some diseases that affect normal breathing, the human body should choose a breathing method that suits you in normal times. This way your body will be healthier. So what are the benefits of abdominal breathing? Let us introduce it below.

Generally, mammals use abdominal breathing, which has the advantage of fully utilizing the functions of heart and lung cells, increasing lung capacity, strengthening heart function, increasing the power of the digestive system, and thus enhancing and activating its functions, which is beneficial for eliminating toxins accumulated in the intestines and releasing internal stress through abdominal breathing. Humans only breathe mainly through the abdomen during the fetal and infant periods. From the time they learn to walk, they switch to mainly breathing through the chest. Due to changes in breathing patterns, most lung cells remain idle for a long time and lose their activity, resulting in a reduction in lung capacity, which in turn affects human life span and the realization of human potential. Most animals with long lifespans mainly breathe abdominally. Such as turtles and snakes. Why are abdominal breathing so relevant to life? Because all the internal organs except the heart, brain and lungs are hidden in the abdominal cavity. The abdominal cavity includes the digestive system, hematopoietic system, reproductive system, urinary system, endocrine system and part of the lymphatic system, and has a large number of blood vessels and nerves, so it is very important. However, since humans began to walk upright, they mainly breathe through the chest, and abdominal breathing began to degenerate. As a result, abdominal movements weakened, causing waste to accumulate easily and blood flow to slow down. In severe cases, the narrowing of abdominal blood flow can also affect blood supply to the brain. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen abdominal breathing and promote abdominal movement.

The benefit of abdominal breathing is that it increases the volume of the chest cavity, increases the negative pressure in the chest cavity, reduces the pressure in the superior and inferior vena cava, and accelerates blood return through changes in abdominal cavity pressure. Due to the regular increase and decrease of abdominal pressure, the activity of abdominal organs is enhanced, which improves the blood circulation of the digestive tract, promotes the digestion and absorption function of the digestive tract, promotes intestinal peristalsis, prevents constipation, accelerates the excretion of toxins, reduces autointoxication, and achieves the purpose of slowing down aging. Because the intestinal system is the main channel for temporary storage of waste at the end of food metabolism in the human body, the amount of bacteria in the feces is astonishing. The retention of feces not only accelerates the reproduction of bacteria, but also increases the absorption of intestinal toxins. Abdominal Qigong is the most effective laxative, so it is of great significance in anti-aging. In addition, it is also effective in preventing colon cancer and hemorrhoids.

These are the benefits of abdominal breathing exercises. In normal times, you can choose according to your actual situation. No matter what breathing method you choose, you must do it under the premise that it suits you. This is the only way to keep the body in a relatively healthy state. If you cannot maintain good health, your life will be in danger.
