Breathee - Breathing exercises

In the pursuit of a perfect body, we diet, exercise, vacuum our stomachs, lymphatic drainage massages and lots of other procedures, but we often forget about breathing techniques. How to lose weight using breathing techniques, you might ask. And it turns out that controlling your breathing really does help speed up burning off fat. A myth? A miracle? No, it's a reality. What's more, proper breathing exercises for weight loss are so effective that they've split off into separate breathing techniques called bodyflex, Strelnikov gymnastics and oxycise.

As strange as it may sound, well-designed breathing exercises can lift your mood, improve your well-being and get rid of excess weight. Deep breathing provides us with more oxygen, which is essential for: strengthening the immune system; proper brain function; and the rapid digestion of food. So whichever of breathing technique for weight loss you choose, all breathing systems are based on the same principle - more oxygen enters the bloodstream, which improves all body processes, including metabolism. Thanks to breathing techniques, fat stores are burned.

DEEP BREATHING

The breathing technique can help you lose those extra centimetres in a matter of days; if you do it well, you can get rid of as much as 5 hated centimetres around your waist in a week, and the best part is that you can see the result as soon as the second day is up. The breathing technique is perfect if you're on holiday in a week and your figure isn't tidy.

When we breathe with a full chest, our lungs expand as much as possible and our diaphragm works harder. In fact, when people talk about deep breathing, it should be taken literally: the air should go down to the lowest parts of the lungs. It's about diaphragmatic breathing, where the lungs expand as much as possible.

The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that serves as a partition between the thoracic and abdominal cavities. This arrangement allows the diaphragm to significantly change the position of internal organs. On inhalation, when the diaphragm contracts, it frees up space for the lungs to expand (respiratory function). This shifts the heart and kidneys downwards, returning to their original upper position during exhalation. This movement is important for internal organs, as it improves blood circulation (cardiovascular function) and therefore tissue nutrition and excretion.

The diaphragm also plays an important role in the movement of food down the oesophagus (motor-digestive function). The movement of the diaphragm affects all the surrounding organs as if you are massaging them with each deep breath. The diaphragm muscle also supports the spine.
