I think people have become more aware of the importance of a healthy respiratory system with all the Coronavirus information spoken about on the news these past few months. Just like our heart we often don’t consider the important role our vital organs play in keeping us strong and well. It's not until we experience problems breathing that we take notice of our lung function. But the truth is, like the rest of our body, our lungs need exercises and good nutrition in order to function at its peak capacity. • Make sure you grab a copy of our new detailed report about Heart Lung health that includes everything you ever needed to know about exercise and nutrition for heart health. Go to the website in the link below to grab your instant copy • https://shop.noregretspt.com.au/au/Ex... • And be sure you read our detailed article about this in the link below that features exercise instructions and video examples of things I briefly touch on in the video. • https://www.noregretspt.com.au/index.... • It’s important to note lung function and lung capacity are different measurements which is something I did not know. The Lung Institute defines these terms as follows: • Lung function — A metric determined by the amount of air your lungs can hold and how quickly you can take in and release air from your lungs, as well as your body’s ability to oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from your blood • Lung capacity — The maximum amount of oxygen your body can use • In simple language this means lung function is how your body uses air while lung capacity is how much air your body can use. • Notably, your lung function cannot be improved — once it’s gone, it’s gone. Your lung capacity however, can be controlled and improved. • Breathing feeds oxygen to every cell in the body. Without sufficient oxygen, people are more prone to health problems, including respiratory illnesses, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and even heart disease. But ordinary, everyday breathing isn't enough to keep the oxygen flowing through the body at peak levels. • Diaphragmatic breathing uses the awareness of the diaphragm muscle, which separates the organs in the abdomen from the lungs. By concentrating on lowering the diaphragm as you breathe in, you'll get a much deeper and more prolonged breath which is the technique that professional singers use to increase their lung capacity to hold long notes. • Learn To Breathe Through Your Nose • Mouth breathers can never truly develop their lung capacity for when you open your mouth to get more air it prevents you from creating Nitric Oxide. Nitric oxide is found in your nose, so when you breathe through your nose, you carry a small portion of the gas into your lungs. Mouth breathing is common to asthmatics and people with anxiety disorders who breathe too fast and with too much volume. • Nitric oxide plays a significant role in homeostasis or the maintaining of the acid/alkaline balance otherwise known as the PH balance within your body. Your nostrils have a smaller entry than your mouth which creates resistance resulting in smaller breathing volume along with calm and quieter breathing, whereas mouth breathing creates a dry mouth and bacteria. • Low fibre intake is also associated with reduced measures of lung function while a diet rich in fibre-containing foods may play a role in improving lung health. One of the fastest ways to improve your fibre intake is using Psyllium Husk. As a soluble fibre, psyllium husk acts as a prebiotic that facilitates the nourishment of beneficial bacteria in your gut and helps improve immune function. Read our article below about how to boost your immune system. • https://www.noregretspt.com.au/index.... • Finally we are looking at exercise. Adopting long slow boring cardio sessions where you are working at a low to moderate intensity will improve your fitness to a small degree and build great endurance but it will not improve your ability anywhere near as well as interval training. • For people who have problems with breathlessness and shortness of breath while exercising, interval training may be a better solution than steady-state exercise. Interval training allows the lungs time to recover before challenging them again. • You can find tons of ideas of how to do this in the articles below • https://www.noregretspt.com.au/index.... • https://www.noregretspt.com.au/index.... • https://www.noregretspt.com.au/index....
