The way we breathe can drastically affect our lives and well being. Something as simple as breathing the right way and enhanced breathing exercises helps to strengthen the lungs and have these added benefits:
Decreases stress
Relieves pain
Stimulates the lymphatic system
Improves immunity
Increases energy
Lowers blood pressure
Improves digestion
I practice Pranayama (alternate nostril) breathing every day before I meditate and several other breathing techniques during my Qigong practice and before/after I exercise. I‘m not a breath work specialist but I have a friend who is and can refer anyone to him who’d like to increase their breathing capacity. One tip, just breathing through your nose only especially during exercise is far better than mouth breathing, It filters the air and improves the quality of your intake.
