Our lungs are sometimes taken for granted. For the most part, we don't need to think about them because they keep us healthy and alive. Because of this, paying attention to your lung health is crucial.
The lungs in the human body have a built-in defense mechanism to keep dust and germs out. We frequently overlook the critical role that our lungs play in keeping us healthy and strong. We don't really pay attention to our breathing until we start having trouble. However, you should take good care of your lungs every day, just like the rest of your body.
Breathing feeds oxygen to every cell within the body. Without adequate oxygen, people are more vulnerable to health problems, including respiratory illnesses, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as well as heart disease.
The breathing exercise:
Stand up and always check your heartrate for 30 seconds. Then sit down and take 3 breaths in a row without exhaling. Then hold your breath as long as you can and count the time. When you exhale, check always your pulse for 30 seconds again.
Results:
If you were able to simply take your breath at under 40 seconds, the job of your respiratory system isn’t that good. The typical result should be 40-49 seconds. If you can hold your breath for more than 50 seconds, you’re in really good shape.
Calculate your heart rate applying this formula:
The result should equal your heartbeat for 30 seconds after the test and your heart rate for 30 seconds before the test.
The
result that equals 1, 2, or lower is fine. In the event that you scored
more “points”, it might indicate that the cardiovascular system needs
more oxygen.
