What are the benefits of reverse breathing

If the human body stops breathing, life will end. Therefore, breathing is very important to the human body. In normal times, we should always pay attention to protecting the normal respiratory function of the body. This requires ensuring the health of the respiratory tract and other parts, and effectively reducing the occurrence of diseases in these parts. You also need to actively exercise. So what are the benefits of reverse breathing? Let’s talk about it today.

First, expand lung capacity and improve cardiopulmonary function. It can expand the chest cavity to the maximum extent, allowing the alveoli in the lower lungs to expand and contract, allowing more oxygen to enter the lungs and improving cardiopulmonary function.

Second, reduce lung infections, especially pneumonia.

Third, it can improve the function of abdominal organs. It can improve the function of the spleen and stomach, help soothe the liver and promote bile secretion. Abdominal breathing can lower blood pressure by reducing abdominal pressure, which is very beneficial for patients with hypertension.

Fourth, the increased oxygen intake provides the brain with adequate oxygen, which is beneficial for calming the mind and improving intelligence. By attracting enough oxygen, the Qi and blood become active, which is helpful for faster recovery from injuries. Of course, the super fast recovery like the protagonist of this book is a bit exaggerated, but regularly practicing this breathing method does indeed heal injuries faster than ordinary people!

Because it is the opposite of normal abdominal breathing, it is called "reverse abdominal breathing". This breathing method increases the range of motion of the chest diaphragm, which exercises your internal organs invisibly, and is therefore also one of the “breathing exercises” for strengthening your body.

There are three types of normal human breathing. One is chest breathing, another is abdominal breathing, and the last is mixed breathing. Reverse abdominal breathing is done in the opposite way of abdominal breathing. It mainly involves the abdomen naturally retracting when inhaling, and then the lower abdomen bulging outwards when exhaling. The abdomen will contract during reverse abdominal breathing, and relax when exhaling, which will promote abdominal exercise and will not harm the body. If you persist for a long time, you can maintain a good abdominal shape, but you must pay attention to the correct method when doing it so as not to hurt your waist.

The benefits of reverse breathing are those introduced above. If you breathe in the correct way at normal times, your body will be in a more healthy state. If there is a problem with the breathing function, it will be very detrimental to your health. It is possible that some symptoms of disease may occur. You must pay attention.
