1. First imagine that there is an imaginary "small air bag" in your dantian (the position three fingers below your navel).

2. Breathe in through your nose, and send the air you breathe in all the way down through your chest and abdomen, all the way into the "little air bags."

3. At this time, your lower abdomen will bulge slightly. Then, exhale deeply and exhale all the air in the "little air bag" through your nose.

Why abdominal breathing can reduce belly fat

Normal breathing is relatively gentle. Abdominal breathing can help the body relax well. Each breath will tighten the abdomen, increase the pressure on the abdomen, and exercise the abdominal muscles. Normal abdominal breathing takes about 10-15 seconds and can inhale about 500 ml of air. During abdominal breathing, the diaphragm will drop and the abdominal pressure will increase. It feels like the air is directly entering the abdomen. If you put your hand on your belly button at this time, you will feel your hand slightly lifted up and down.

What are the benefits of abdominal breathing

1. Improve lung capacity

Abdominal breathing can expand the chest cavity to the maximum extent, allowing the alveoli in the lower lungs to expand and contract, allowing more oxygen to enter the lungs, strengthening the respiratory function, increasing vital capacity, and improving cardiopulmonary function, reducing cardiopulmonary diseases such as coronary heart disease and bronchitis.

2. Reduce lung infection

Abdominal breathing can improve cardiopulmonary function, is very helpful for the recovery of senile emphysema and other pulmonary ventilation disorders, and can also reduce lung infections, especially the risk of pneumonia.

3. Promote gastrointestinal motility

Due to the regular increase and decrease of abdominal pressure, abdominal breathing strengthens the activities of abdominal organs, improves the blood circulation of the digestive tract, promotes the digestion and absorption function of the digestive tract, promotes intestinal peristalsis, prevents constipation, accelerates the discharge of toxins, and reduces the growth of bacteria in the stomach. In addition, it is also very effective in preventing colon cancer and hemorrhoids.

4. It is beneficial to the circulation of Qi

There are a large number of meridians passing through the abdomen, and there are dozens of acupoints throughout, especially the Shenque point, which is our navel, which maintains the growth of the fetus. Therefore, if we strengthen abdominal breathing, we can promote the circulation of abdominal meridian qi, which is beneficial to the operation of the human meridians, and thus beneficial to the life activities of the whole body.
