Breathing Exercises To Help Smokers
Your lungs are basically sponges that absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The more you breathe, the more your lung capacity increases. Medical practitioners believe that most people use only one-fourth of their actual lung capacity because we do not do lung exercises. However, smokers need special breathing exercises unlike the rest of us.
As we have already said that your lungs are like sponges and smoking makes the sponges absorb toxins and tar. This naturally reduces the power of the lungs to absorb oxygen. Some basic breathing exercises can help smokers inhale more oxygen.
Here are some of the best breathing exercises for smokers to breathe easy.
Deep
Breathing
This
might
sound
like
a
very
basic
exercise
but
it
works
wonders.
Deep
breathing
is
nothing
but
conscious
breathing.
If
only
we
could
breathe
deeply
all
the
time,
we
would
be
filled
with
energy.
When
you
breathe
deeply,
you
using
you
lungs
to
the
maximum
possible
extent.
So
naturally
you
inhale
more
oxygen.
Co-ordinated
Breathing
If
is
not
enough
to
breathe
deeply.
You
must
also
have
a
certain
measure
of
control
over
your
breathing.
Set
a
target
to
breath
in
and
out
for
a
certain
number
of
times
in
a
minute.
Each
breath
should
be
inhaled
and
exhaled
at
uniform
time
gaps.
It
is
difficult
but
this
breathing
exercise
helps
smokers
discipline
their
lungs.
Pursed
Lips
Breathing
Breathe
in
through
your
nose.
Now
purse
your
lips
and
breathe
out
through
your
pursed
lips.
This
ensures
that
you
breath
in
quickly
but
breathe
out
gradually.
And
you
must
do
this
lung
exercise
in
a
standing
position.
Diaphragmatic
Breathing
This
is
the
most
important
breathing
exercise
for
smokers.
The
organ
that
non-smokers
use
for
breathing
is
the
diaphragm.
But
as
smokers
have
polluted
their
lungs
with
so
much
of
toxins,
they
use
other
organs
like
their
abdomen
and
neck
muscles
to
help
them
breathe.
Smokers
have
to
train
their
diaphragm
to
breath
again
with
this
lung
exercise.
Lie
flat
on
your
back
and
place
a
book
on
your
chest.
Breathe
in
deeply
and
make
sure
that
the
book
rises
with
your
chest.
If
you
are
breathing
through
your
neck
or
abdomen,
your
chest
will
not
rise
and
fall
substantially.
The
book
will
help
you
focus
all
your
energies
on
your
diaphragm.
Thus
breathe
deeply
and
make
your
lungs
breathe
again.
These are some of the best breathing exercises for smokers. Do you know that smoking can literally knock off days from your life? Check out how many days you lost due to smoking.
