Breathing is a normal physiological phenomenon of human beings, and at the same time it is an important way to maintain health. People's breath and life carry the energy of life. Scientists have found that: human lungs are as large as two footballs, but large Most people use only one-third of their ability in their lifetime. A recent survey by American health scientists shows that at least half of the urban population does not breathe in both developed and developing countries. Correct. Many people's breathing is too short, often when the inhaled fresh air has not penetrated the lower end of the lungs, they hurriedly exhale, which is equivalent to the beneficial ingredients that are not absorbed into the fresh air!
Abdominal breathing
Through abdominal breathing, when inhaling, the diaphragm changes, the lower edge of the lungs pulls down, the abdominal pressure increases, the lower abdomen bulges, and the blood that presses the internal organs flows to the head, neck and limbs; while exhaling, horizontal The aponeurosis is relaxed, and the lungs, chest wall and abdominal organs are elastically retracted. At this time, the abdominal pressure is lowered, the lower abdomen becomes soft, and the blood of the head and neck and limbs flows back to the internal organs.
Lengthen breathing time
Repeatedly, breathing through the strong squeezing movement of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles, promote gastrointestinal motility, help the body to excrete harmful substances. It can also increase blood circulation and oxygen content, accelerate the burning of body fat. Emphasize slow, long Deep, you must try to control the number of breaths in 5 minutes, 5 to 6 times, and lengthen the time of each breath.
The correct method of abdominal breathing
1. First, imagine that your dantian (the position of the three fingers under the navel) has an imaginary 'small balloon'.
2. Then, inhale with your nose, take the air you sucked in all the way from the chest, the abdomen, and send it to the 'small airbag'.
3. At this point, your lower abdomen will bulge slightly. Then, exhale deeply, and the air in the 'small airbag' will be exhaled from the nose. When practicing, you can put a book on the lower abdomen to feel The ups and downs of the abdomen. At the beginning, practice 50 times of breathing and breathing every day, slowly turning the abdominal breathing method into your breathing habits every day and every moment.
note:
1. When inhaling, let the lower abdomen protrude.
2. When exhaling, let the lower abdomen contract.
