Practice Breathing Exercises To support Lung Health
Diaphragmatic breathing exercises for enhanced pulmonary function are a technique to improve ventilation and exchange. As a result, pursed-lip breathing enhances oxygenation and diminishes respiratory discomfort.
Practice results in relaxation responses directly associated with reduced cortisol and stress-mediated inflammation. Adding mindfulness to these exercises may even strengthen the lungs and, thus, the respiratory system and, therefore, help prevent respiratory diseases.
