Day 6 of our Week of Wellness is special. I have family and friends who are ill with Covid-19 and I promised we would do specific exercises to help them breathe, to increase lung capacity and clear the lower lobes of the lungs of mucus.
In this episode, we are going to do some more Lung Expansion Breathwork. This can help us train and strengthen our lungs before we get a respiratory disease, and in the case that we do it will support our lungs functioning and fighting the respiratory infection.
When we practice breathing, we strengthen our lungs while our chest becomes more elastic, the muscles needed for breathing become more trained and flexible and thus our breathing becomes more effecΒtive. It becomes more economical which minimizes the amount of oxygen required for breathing. The oxygen saved can then be used elsewhere in the body where there is more need for it, such as to combat inflammation and other conditions.
