  1. What Are The Best Breathing Exercises To Increase Lung Strength? Exercise is one of the best ways to keep your lungs healthy and strong. You already know the benefits of exercise. It helps you stay fit, strengthens your heart, improves blood circulation as well as your mood. It is also a great way to keep your lungs rocking! How does exercise build your lung strength? When you exercise, your heart and lungs work harder in unison to supply the additional oxygen your muscles demand. Your lungs are large, dome-shaped muscles that contractrhythmically and continually as you inhale and exhale. Just like regular exercise makes your muscles stronger, it also makes your heart and lungs stronger. As your physical fitness improves, your body becomes more efficient at absorbing oxygen into your bloodstream and transporting it to your working muscles. That's one of the reasons that you are less likely to become short of breath during exercise over time. Physical activity can reduce your risk of serious illness, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some forms of cancer, including lung cancer.

  2. Types of exercise to enhance your lung strength: Certain exercises, in addition to strengthening your Lung Infection Medicine, can also help your diaphragm and the muscles between the ribs that work together to power inhaling and exhaling. While aerobic activities like walking, running or jumping rope give your heart and lungs the kind of workout they need to function efficiently, muscle- strengthening activities like weight-lifting, crunches or Pilates build core strength, improve your posture and tone up your breathing muscles. Breathing exercises in particular can strengthen your diaphragm and train your body to breathe more deeply and more effectively. Some of the breathing exercises for enhancing your lung strength are: Diaphragmatic breathing to build lung strength In diaphragmatic breathing or ‘belly breathing,’you engage your diaphragm, which is the dome-shaped muscle below your lungs that helps you breathe. It is supposed to do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to breathing. People with COPD tend to rely more on the accessory muscles of the neck, shoulders, and back to breathe, rather than on the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing helps to retrain this muscle to work more effectively. In this type of breathing you breathe from the region around your diaphragm, rather than from your chest. This technique helps to strengthen your diaphragm and slow your breathing. Method: Lie down comfortably on your back with your knees bent. Place a pillow under your knees or sit up straight in a chair. Place one hand flat on your upper chest and the other hand on your stomach. Breathe in slowly through your nose. The hand on your stomach should move, while the one on your chest remains still. Breathe out slowly through pursed lips. Keep practising this technique until you’re able to breathe in and out without your chest moving. Pursed-lips breathing promotes Pulmonary Health and Pulmonary Care This exercise can be practised at any time. It is much easier than diaphragmatic breathing.

  3. Pursed-lips breathing can slow down your breathing, reducing the work of breathing by keeping your airways open longer. It improves your lung function. Method: Inhale slowly through your nostrils. Purse your lips, as if pouting or about to blow off a candle. Breathe out as slowly as possible through pursed lips, taking at least twice as long as you did to breathe in. Repeat the process. Huff cough to puff up your lung strength Mucus can build up more easily in your lungs if you have COPD. Without making you feel too tired, this exercise helps you cough up mucus effectively. Method: Sit down comfortably. Inhale deeply through your mouth, slightly deeper than you would when taking a normal breath. Using your stomach muscles blow out the air in three even breaths while making the sounds “ha, ha, ha.” Your out-breath should be able to steam up an imaginary glass in front of you. Crunches for strengthening your core Studies show that core exercises performed with a focus on muscular chain stretching and breathing techniques can lead respiratory function, abdominal muscle endurance and movement efficiency. to greater improvement in Simple core exercises such as crunches, which are modified sit-ups help strengthenabdominal muscles, thereby enhancing your Lung Nutrition function. Method: Lie on your back with your knees bent. Draw in your breath. When you exhale, lift your shoulders off the floor, then lower them back to the floor. Exercise your way to lung health Strengthening lung capacity can help you in the long run. It could support speedy recovery in case of any respiratory infections. Moreover, these techniques, when combined with a Healthy diet for lungs, adequate rest and intake of nutraceutical supplements such as Chovsafe For
