5 WAYS TO GET 'LUNG FIT!'
1. Stay hydrated
- It might seem simple, but keeping well hydrated helps maintain the health of the mucosal lining in the lungs.
2. Slow relaxed breaths
-Deep breathing helps you to expand and allow your lungs to reach their full capacity.
3. Nasal Breathing
-Our nose is an important part of the respiratory system. It warms and humidifies the air we breathe and helps protect the airways from allergens, pollutants and pathogens.
4. Sit straight, stand tall and breathe with the diaphragm
-Our lungs are soft structures, so making room for them to expand and contract as we breathe is incredibly important. Breathing patterns become abnormal with excessive use of the upper ribcage, which leads to insufficient use of the diaphragm while breathing.
5. Invest in a WellO2
- Breathing exercise devices, such as WellO2 are beneficial not only for those experiencing ongoing respiratory concerns, but for individuals looking to engage in conscious breathing for everyday general wellness.
