Your breath
is your life
Proper breathing techniques are important! They allow you to have optimal oxygen intake. This is crucial for your overall health, affecting everything from energy levels, stress management, cognitive function, and immune system robustness. Breathing deeply and properly through the diaphragm, your body will better utilize oxygen throughout the systems in your body to improve physical and mental health.
Diaphramatic
breathing
The diaphragm is the most efficient muscle for breathing. It is a large domed-shaped muscle located at the base of your lungs. The abdominal muscles help in moving the diaphragm to give you more power to empty your lungs. When you breathe normally, you don’t use your lungs to their full capacity. Diaphragmatic breathing allows you to utilize your lungs at 100% capacity which in turn will increase lung capacity.
Key benefits of proper breathing techniques
- Reduced stress- Deep breathing will activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which will promote relaxation and lower stress hormones in the body.
- Improved concentration-And focus- Proper oxygen to the brain will enhance cognitive focus.
- Enhanced athletic performance- Efficient breathing optimizes the delivery of oxygen to the muscles during exercise.
- Better quality of sleep- Deep breathing before bed can aid in falling asleep faster and more soundly.
- Improved digestion- Diaphragmatic breathing can improve proper digestion by stimulating the stomach muscles.
What are the types of
proper Breathing
- Nasal breathing- Inhaling primarily thru the noser will help filter and warm the air before it reaches the lungs.
- Diaphragmatic breathing (belly breathing)- using the diaphragm muscle to help expand the abdomen during inhalation, which allows for deeper expansion of the lungs.
- Slow and controlled breaths- taking deeper beaths rather than rapid shallower breaths.
