Help some Exercises Exercise helps the lungs work more efficiently, especially when you get older or due to smoking, and doctors say that these exercises reduce shortness of breath, according to what was published by the Times Now News website.
Lung function of pumping air
Lung function depends greatly on the amount of air that can be retained, and according to health experts, lung capacity begins to decline slowly after the age of approximately 35 years, along with complications of aging.
Many conditions, such as pollution, smoking, and diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, can significantly accelerate the loss of lung capacity and function, leading to difficulty breathing.
Dr. Smita Engle, Director of the Center for Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Rehabilitation at the Ruby Hall Clinic in India, said: Regular exercise strengthens the respiratory muscles and enhances lung efficiency, as aerobic exercise enhances tidal volume and vital capacity, allowing you to inhale more energy. air with every breath.
The benefits of exercise for lung health
Doctors believe that exercise helps maintain lung capacity, which makes it easier to maintain healthy lungs and obtain the oxygen the body needs, as regular exercise helps strengthen the muscles of the respiratory system.
Exercising brings many benefits to the health of the body and lungs in particular, as follows:
Improving airflow: Physical activity improves lung elasticity, supports better airflow and oxygen exchange.
Strengthening muscle function: Strengthening the respiratory muscles leads to more effective breathing, especially during physical exertion.
Reduced respiratory problems: Exercising often helps people suffer from fewer respiratory problems, which supports overall lung health.
