Abdominal breathing causes a big belly

Abdominal breathing is also a relatively common breathing method. It is helpful for regulating the body. Of course, abdominal breathing will not cause diarrhea. On the contrary, it has a certain effect on reducing the belly. Frequent use of abdominal breathing can regulate the stomach and intestines, prevent constipation, and has a certain effect on promoting gastrointestinal digestion. In addition, it also has a good effect on the body's lung capacity.

How does abdominal breathing regulate the body?

1. Stomach

When people perform abdominal breathing, the abdominal muscles tense and relax alternately, which causes the capillaries in the local muscles to contract and relax alternately, thereby accelerating blood circulation and expanding the supply of oxygen. It is also beneficial to the elimination of metabolic products in the body, and plays a role in adjusting and promoting the organs and tissues of the whole body.

In addition, the contraction and relaxation of the abdominal muscles is also a good massage, which can promote stomach and abdominal motility and change digestive function. At the same time, the abdominal muscles are the driving muscles for defecation, so regular abdominal breathing exercises are also helpful in preventing habitual constipation.

2. Lungs

The biggest feature of abdominal breathing is that it can increase the range of motion of the diaphragm, and the movement of the diaphragm directly affects the ventilation volume of the lungs.

Studies have shown that for every 2 cm the diaphragm descends, lung ventilation volume can increase by 250 to 300 ml. If you persist in abdominal breathing for half a year, the range of motion of the diaphragm can increase by four centimeters. This is very beneficial for improving lung function and is one of the important rehabilitation methods for senile emphysema and other pulmonary ventilation disorders.

3. Improve the spleen and stomach

It can improve the function of abdominal organs. It can improve the function of the spleen and stomach, help soothe the liver and promote bile secretion. Abdominal breathing can lower blood pressure by reducing abdominal pressure, which is very beneficial for patients with hypertension.

4. Soothes the mind and improves intelligence

Abdominal breathing can regulate the body's emotions and thus have a calming effect. It also has a certain effect on brain development and intelligence improvement.

Because when we do abdominal breathing, the air will remain in our dantian, which can regulate the excitement of the brain.

5. Eliminate fatigue

Fatigue is usually caused by lack of energy and oxygen, and deep breathing exercises are needed to replenish oxygen. Cross your hands in front of your lower abdomen in a horizontal position with your palms facing up, then inhale and slowly raise your hands up to your chin. Turn your palms downward, slowly lower your crossed hands back down, and exhale through the tips of your lips, making the "f" sound 10 times.

6. Treat headaches

Lack of oxygen often causes headaches. As you inhale, lift your shoulders, then slowly exhale and let your shoulders drop. Or use the double-lip closure method. When exhaling, gently close your lips and blow out the air through the resistance of your lips. Do this 10 times.

7. Promote pelvic blood flow

Abdominal breathing also includes pelvic exercises, that is, while taking deep abdominal breaths, you should coordinate with anal contraction and relaxation exercises and abdominal contraction and lifting. The purpose is to promote pelvic blood flow, because the organs in the pelvic cavity involve the human endocrine system and reproductive and urinary system and are an important part that cannot be ignored.
