Air is nothing more than
a mixture of gases, but without it, man can not live. We
are entirely dependent on respiration. Our bodies
are accustomed to be content with the air on roads, where a lot of harmful
impurities exists. We did not hesitate to breathe air saturated with vapors of
paints and solvents. We are also breathing in a mixture of team stuffy offices
and tightly glazed apartments. We often forget the fact that only the fresh air
can give us the energy of life, youth and beauty. Only fresh air you breathe outdoors,
away from roads and parking lots, can give a person the energy and prolong
youth.
Between health and
proper breathing there is a direct connection. Improper breathing can even
cause illness or make worse an existing one. The development of proper
breathing techniques will help your body get easier with difficulties, be it be
physical or emotional stress or mental labor. The abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing is also
important. The first breath is completely natural to a baby
since the baby is breathing through the abdomen. If you observe the breath of a child,
you will notice that the child’s abdomen rises and falls as it exhales. But
over time we forget how to breathe correctly.
Most of us go to the
breast breathing, thereby suppressing our abdomen. Perhaps this shift is due to the
demands of society for the appearance of women and men. After all, a flat stomach and chest
are signs of high beauty. "Drag
in the stomach and breathe totally." Who
has not heard those words? In addition to social influence on respiration and
emotions such as anger, fear, excitement and - any stress. While in this state, people
subconsciously activate thoracic breathing and that movement suppresses the
abdominal wall. In the meantime, it is difficult to overestimate the importance
of abdominal breathing.
During abdominal breathing the
diaphragm moves, helping to supply the body with blood and with proper
breathing, it performs the role of a tumbler of the heart to facilitate its
work. So,
it better to learn to breathe properly for the benefit of the body. If you want to learn how to breathe correctly then you
have to give up too tight clothing like corsets, laces etc. that hampers
breathing. Breathe in the abdominal breathing is three to four times shorter
than the expiratory breathing. Abdominal
breathing should not be frequent. People
who know this breathing technique can reduce the number of breaths per minute
to three or six.
The saturation of the
blood to hold your breath for elevated levels of carbon dioxide has a powerful
restorative effect on all physiological processes in the organism as a whole. But it is not necessary,
in whatever way to strive for it. The
number of breaths for an average person can range from twelve to fifteen times
per minute. One of the main rules
to be kept in mind during abdominal breathing is that you should breathe
through the nose, because it is the organ used for breathing. Nasal breathing
helps to warm the air and protects the lungs from unnecessary dust.
It is important that
your nose is always healthy, because the weakening of the nasal breathing tends
to weaken the nervous system as well. A
healthy nervous system, as you know is the guarantee of health of the whole
organism. There are
benefits in abdominal breathing. To understand why abdominal
breathing is correct and useful, it is worth recalling some features of the
physiology of respiration and the nervous system. In western medicine, control
center of all the physiological functions is the nervous system. The nervous system consists of parasympathetic
and sympathetic nervous systems. The
parasympathetic system is involved in the work.
When we do hard physical work or thinking
about something, we solve the problems. The
parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for relaxation processes,
digestion, sleep, and some aspects of sexual activity. Studying abdominal
breathing, you can learn to control activation of the autonomic nervous system
and stabilize the parasympathetic system, i.e. improve sleep, digestion, learning to relax and
help the work of your heart and blood vessels. Also, abdominal breathing
can help you get rid of many diseases quickly and successfully through the
process of recovery. Proper breathing greatly reduces the power consumption by
the body and slows down the aging process. To breathe correctly - it means to
be young, fit and healthy for many years to come.
