Lazy people especially do not want to lose weight, subjecting themselves to active training and a "painful" diet of adequate nutrition. It is for them that nutritionists have developed breathing exercises to lose weight, which allow you to significantly reduce volume and tense your muscles in a few days. Is this really possible?
It turns out that breathing exercises not only contribute to weight loss, but also significantly reduce the risk of developing most diseases - for example, cardiovascular or musculoskeletal conditions. It's all about breathing properly and saturating the body's cells with the oxygen needed for normal living. In fact, this can be achieved through regular sports, but as this is not normal life, this means that you need to fill the deficit with breathing exercises.
What are breathing exercises?
Experts say that breathing exercises help with weight loss due to the supply of oxygen to the fat cells and its subsequent burning in the body - in this way the process is very accelerated (this fact encourages those who are losing weight to breathe correctly while playing Sports) . This is evidenced by numerous reviews of those who lost weight, who exercised with some regularity.
This is important: choosing the type of exercise for weight loss is only recommended with your doctor's permission. This will allow you to choose a technique that does not harm existing illnesses or injuries that once occurred.
Respiratory gymnastics today is represented by a different set of exercises, which are divided into techniques - body flexion, oxisize, yoga, pranayama and other practices. All these methods are based on deep breathing, which ensures the penetration of oxygen into blood cells and internal organs.
The advantages of the technique
Breathing exercises to slim the abdomen, thighs and other problem areas have the following advantages:
- Deep breathing promotes the oxidation of fat cells, resulting in their natural burning. If people always breathed correctly, there would be no problem with being overweight. According to expert research, the average person uses only 25% of lung volume.
- Saturating the body with oxygen promotes better absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the digestive tract. This significantly improves metabolism, which counteracts weight gain.
- Oxygen helps to decrease appetite as it promotes the production of ATP molecules - the substances responsible for the rapid breakdown of food into energy. The same fact naturally leads to quick satiety.
- If you breathe correctly, you can get rid of toxins and other harmful substances that have accumulated in your fat cells. This fact helps its rapid oxidation and elimination from the body.
- Respiratory gymnastics exercises can be performed even by people with injuries who are prohibited from practicing conventional sports.
The technique of breathing exercises for weight loss is usually recommended for combating the belly. This is due to the simple fact of the deposition of fat cells in the internal organs of the abdominal space. As a rule of thumb, these fat cells build up quickly if you overeat or eat large amounts of fatty foods, and at the same time, they are eliminated first. Therefore, if problems arise in the presented area, together with a dietary restriction, it is necessary to do breathing exercises.
