As you get older, your lung capacity slowly decreases, which is why normal lung volumes also varies with age. Besides, other factors such as chronic lung diseases such as asthma, COPD and smoking can also affect our lung function and significantly reduce lung volumes.

Fortunately, lung volumes can be improved. If you focus on breathing and train your lungs and breathing muscles through breathing exercises, just like you train other muscles in your body, you can effectively maintain and increase your lung volumes.

 

Why is lung volume so important?

In order to stay healthy, our bodies need oxygen. We breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, and your lungs are the center for gas exchange. To have a fully functioning respiratory system, you need good lung capacity. This is essential for lung health and can be achieved through exercise.

 On the other hand, reduced lung volumes can lead to shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Increasing your lung capacity, which will allow your body to use oxygen more efficiently, will reduce the stress of breathing and lung disease.

 

Benefits to Increase Lung Capacity:

• Have a Stronger Respiratory Muscles

• Optimize Your Breathing

• Improve Lung Function

• Increase Oxygen to Your Brain,You’ll Have a More Focused Mind

 

Who Should Do Breathing Exercises?

Everyone who wants to reduce stress.Breathing exercises can reduce stress by improving oxygen exchange, which lowers blood pressure, calms the heart, and relieves any abdominal strain.

People with lung disease.But it is best to consult your doctor first.

Athletes who want to improve their performance.Respiratory muscle training (RMT) increases blood flow to resting and active limbs, postponing the metaboreflex and therefore boosting exercise capacity and endurance.

 

How to Do Breathing Training?

Use a 3 Ball Incentive Spirometer, it easy to operate for breathing exercise.

Steps for Use:

1. Hold the incentive spirometer upright and exhale normally

2. Place the mouth piece in your mouth and seal your lips around it

3. Breathe slowly and deeply through your mouth, as if you were sucking through a straw

4. Your goal should be to lift one, two or three balls and hold them for 2-3 seconds
