How to breathe correctly?

Proper breathing and well-being

It has been calculated that during the day, each of us carries approx. 20 000 inhalations and exhalations, an average of 15-16 times per minute. Ignorance of physiology and persisted for years bad habits mean that most of us breathe incorrectly, using part of the lung capabilities.


Incorrect breathing technique is often the cause of fatigue, headaches, abdominal muscles and other ailments. Although breathing is mainly related to the function of the respiratory center, which works automatically, instinctively, depending on the parent impact the brain, guided by the will, it can be modified to a certain point. This is also important in improving breathing.

To take full advantage of the lungs, you need to propel the entire chest. Of course, we also need to take care of it, to the extent possible provided the air was the most clean.

The simplest way of helping in the so-called. full breathing is frequent ,, retraction "belly. Exhale is correct, when you have the feeling that the lungs no longer air. Only then will we gain it back, keeping between inspiration and expiration short break.

Exhalation should last twice as long breath. It is important to allow air to collect himself, by the way into the lungs had time to warm up to the correct temperature, and dust and other contaminants do not hit them directly.

Here are the correct breathing:

Standing or sitting (upright), quietly drawing air through the nose (the diaphragm moves down). We have to have the feeling that the air is forced into the stomach.

When the lower part of the lung is filled with air, "opens" the chest, letting the air flowed into the central and partially the upper half of the lungs.

Protruding the upper chest, upper part of the oxygenation of the lungs, and by slightly lifting the arms of their vertices.

These exercises at the beginning can make some trouble, because for the first 3-4 days of trial, you must try to master all three phases of breathing - lower, middle and upper - not paying special attention to liquidity. Exercises performed accurately, phase by phase, several times a day for five minutes.

For the next 3-4 days of exercise time we increase twice, trying to phase breath more smoothly passed from one to another. When normal breathing is already came easily, we try to breathe more often the only way.

Apparently on the beneficial effects of full breathing you do not have to wait long. We will become calmer, better function will circulatory system and digestion. Fuller combustion will persist in the cells of various products of metabolism, and oxygenated lungs and the entire respiratory system does not give up easily colds.

What proves annoyance?

It has been proven that people who are able to master and about any small thing does not irritate you live longer. In contrast, individuals who live in constant tension mental, sometimes bumping into a rage, often run the risk of a heart attack.

Any nervousness and stress situations leave a trace in the body. With strong excitement, nervousness and irritability followed violent disturbances in circulation. Common heart rhythm has accelerated because of the narrowing of the blood vessels.

It happens that the sudden rupture occurs irritation blood vessels. They burst in places dangerous for life, just where are the smallest and least, that is the brain. Therefore, constant irritability and nervousness lead to a stroke or, at best, to circulatory disorders.

Irritations and continuous anxiety very adversely affect the heart, because the muscle work variable and the heart beats irregularly. Muscle weakness is subject, which sometimes leads to heart attack. The more often and longer maintains a state of nervous tension, the greater is the burden on the heart and the danger for the person who can not control their nerves.

When irritation, nerves and tensions suffers damage as the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, problems of gastric and duodenal ulcers. People too often feel nervous stomach aches, and sometimes discomfort due to clamping or twisting of the small intestine.

No ability to control emotions, to relax, stay calm in situations that from the perspective of our life, health and happiness are not important, is the signal interference harmony of the body and, therefore, a signal of scarcity of health. The reasons for this state of affairs may be many, but so often we find it in poor nutrition is.

Excessive irritability and nervousness can be caused by shortage of particular nutrients (eg. magnesium, lithium, or vitamins of group B), as well as the excess (eg. fluoro, that captures magnesium blood serum, and vitamins A, unreasonable poly containing the synthetic specifics pharmacy).
