Like the rest of our body, our lungs need daily care We don’t often consider the role our lungs play in keeping us strong and well. It’s only when we experience breathing problems that we begin to appreciate how hard our lungs work for us. The truth is that, like the rest of our body, our lungs require daily care and attention to function at their best. Breathing feeds oxygen to the cells throughout your body. Without sufficient oxygen, people are more prone to health problems, includi...

If you're living with COPD, your doctor may recommend some strategies for managing your symptoms and improving your quality of life. Because COPD (that's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) can cause shortness of breath, one of those strategies is breathing exercises. Why Breathing Exercises Help With COPD People with COPD struggle with breathing because the condition causes air to get trapped in the lungs and interferes with the exchange of gas, says Osita Onugha, MD, thoracic surgeon an...

Basic survival is a useful way to make sense of your health and fitness. Prioritising based on what you simply wouldn’t be able to live without is a simple way of figuring out where you can make improvements. The human body can go for about three weeks without food, less than a week without sleep and three days without water. So, top priority is to drink enough water, then to get enough sleep, then to eat a balanced diet. Sort these out and throw in some exercise, and you’re on track to a...

Overview Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a health condition that affects an individual’s ability to breathe well. It’s often associated with other conditions such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Symptoms include: ...

In patients with uncontrolled moderate to severe asthma, breathing exercises in addition to usual care improved quality of life, despite asthma severity, researchers reported at the European Respiratory Society International Congress. Breathing exercises, a nonpharmacological treatment for asthma, aim to improve patients’ breathing patterns via diaphragmatic breathing, nose inhalation, normalization of the tidal volume, and relaxation of the jaw and tongue. Use a breathing exerciser like OP...

Your quads, hamstrings and calves all work hard to propel you forward when you run. But there's another muscle that’s also a real power player in your running: your diaphragm. With each forceful contraction, this key breathing muscle helps expand your lungs to bring in oxygen – which your muscles need to create energy – says Michael Jordan, director of research and education at Fast Track Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Fairfax, Virginia, US. You inhale the oxygen and exhale carb...

Breathing effectively and efficiently can have tremendous positive impacts on improving your endurance for any cardiovascular sport. Endurance is the ability or strength to continue or last despite fatigue. When you strengthen your respiratory muscles and learn how to breathe more efficiently you will successfully improve/increase your endurance and stamina- which will improve your athletic abilities. To improve performance every athlete has the need to breathe easily throughout the duratio...

Being human, we forget the wonder of breathing. We take it for granted. It takes a health crisis or bad air quality for us to appreciate this basic, yet profound ability. Yoga, meditation and other relaxation techniques all depend on focusing on the breath. There are many benefits of meditation and proper breathing is an important part of learning how to calm the mind and body. The first thing to consider is how well you care for your body and lungs. Basic guidance is to do the following: ...

If you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), you're likely all too familiar with two bothersome (and sometimes distressing) symptoms: shortness of breath (dyspnea) and chronic coughing due to the build-up of mucus in your airways. Medication can help, of course, but there also are breathing exercises and techniques for dealing with these symptoms. In fact, certain breathing exercises—particularly those that help strengthen the diaphragm—may offer benefits beyond bringing in-the-...

The science of breathing stands on quite ancient foundations. Centuries of wisdom instructs us to pay closer attention to our breathing, the most basic of things we do each day. And yet, maybe because breathing is so basic, it’s also easy to ignore. A brief review of the latest science on breathing and the brain, and overall health, serves as a reminder that breathing deserves much closer attention – there’s more going on with each breath than we realize.Breathing training devices such a...

\ You work out to improve your cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility. You train your clients and students for the same reasons. But have you forgotten to breathe? “By learning to control your breathing, by understanding how the respiratory system is integrated with your body, by using conscious breathing in all your pursuits, you will improve nearly every aspect of your life,” explains Al Lee, co-author of Perfect Breathing (Sterling Publishing, 2009)....

Diaphragmatic breathing is not just for opera singers and die-hard yogis—professional bodybuilders and athletes are turning to breath practices to boost endurance for peak performance. Cardio is thought to be the main source of building aerobic durability, and while it’s definitely an important factor, it’s not the only one. “I hear it all the time—athletes don’t understand why their energy can be so erratic when they’re in the best shape of their lives,” breathing coach Dr. B...

Training the muscles responsible for breathing in – inspiratory muscles – can improve performance by 15 per cent, meaning a runner can run for longer and a swimmer can swim faster, for example. Dr Mitch Lomax, of the university’s Department of Sport and Exercise Science, has found that inspiratory muscle training and inspiratory warm-up exercises both boost performance, but when combined they can improve a sportsman or woman’s performance even more. Her work is published in the Jo...
