Chest breathing is a breathing style often adopted by adult women, and the rise and fall of the abdominal wall is not obvious. The hazards of long-term chest breathing mainly include decreased resistance, lack of oxygen to the brain, and aging of the lobes of the lungs.
1. Decreased resistance: long-term chest breathing will make the body of the lungs elasticity, which leads to weakened respiratory function, so that can not provide sufficient oxygen, in the long run the metabolism will be reduced, resistance will also be reduced.
2. Brain hypoxia: thoracic respiration is less than abdominal respiration, long-term thoracic respiration will be insufficient ventilation in the human body, the body’s carbon dioxide will be gathered, it is easy to brain hypoxia.
3. Lung aging: thoracic breathing to intercostal muscle movement, diaphragm activity is weak, the human body for thoracic breathing usually use the upper part of the lung alveoli to breathe, the lower and middle lobes of the lungs do not get exercise, may make the lobes of the lungs aging.
Long-term thoracic breathing is more harmful to the human body, it is recommended to use abdominal breathing method, can make the lungs get full exercise, provide sufficient oxygen for the human body, more conducive to physical health.
