Covid-19 swept across the globe, wreaking havoc in all aspects of life for two years, and its impact persists. Many of us have been affected by various strains of the virus, leaving us with health challenges. Some individuals also grapple with long Covid syndromes, which can severely affect their lungs, while others face issues related to their immunity, heart, and respiratory health. Lung function plays a critical role in breathing, and weakened lungs may struggle to take in the necessary air, leading to oxygen deficiency and an increase in carbon dioxide levels, resulting in significant health problems.
Improving lung capacity can be achieved by a simple technique: inhaling through your nose with your stomach pulled in and exhaling slowly through your nose. This breathing exercise should be repeated for at least one minute, and you can practice it as many times as you’d like. Additionally, Covid has significantly affected various other home-based breathing techniques designed to enhance lung capacity, mobility, and overall lung function.
In a video presented by The Art of Living, you can learn a variety of home-based breathing exercises, methods, and techniques, including Sudarshan Kriya, to promote better lung function and overall respiratory health.
