Notes for deep breathing
Deep breathing seems very simple, that is, to inhale and exhale, which is our basic survival skills. But to get the right breath, we also need to know how to breathe in and out. In the process of inhalation, the speed must be slow and even, try to let the fresh gas fill the alveoli in our body.
When exhaling, be sure to be clean, so that all waste gas can be completely discharged from the body, while exchanging more fresh air.
And we have to learn to breathe with the abdomen instead of the chest. Abdominal breathing is a breathing method in yoga. First of all, we need to inhale deeply, first make the abdomen expand, then make the chest expand, after reaching the limit, hold the breath for a few seconds, and gradually exhale the gas.
When exhaling, the chest should be contracted first, and then the abdomen should be contracted to exhaust the air in the lung as much as possible. This abdominal breathing can better exchange the air in the body, so as to provide oxygen for the organs.
When taking a deep breath, choose a fresh air environment, such as in a park or a wooded area.
But don’t be too early, because green plants do respiration, not photosynthesis, before the sun rises. Only after the sun rises do green plants begin to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
So we take a deep breath every morning, around 8 o’clock. Each time do 3-5 minutes, normal breathing 16 times per minute, generally do deep breathing 8 times per minute is good.
