Changing seasons is not only about the weather, it can also affect our respiratory health.♥️

Even before illnesses strike, help your lungs cleanse itself by preventing the buildup of toxins and other harmful contaminants caused by pollutants, allergens, dust and ci******es! This is our new monthly infographic series - "Breathe Healthy"!

📌 #01/03: MAKE DEEP BREATHING a HABIT
************************************************

Ordinary breathing may just not be enough as it only utilizes about 50% of our lung's capacity! 😲

We should aim to optimize oxygen flow inside our body through active movements and "Deep Breathing". The latter can help us get closer to reaching our lungs’ full capacity!

As we slowly inhale with awareness, make sure to expand your belly while lowering the diaphragm consciously. This is followed by expanding your ribs, like floating wings. And consequently enabling your upper chest to lift and expand. 🧑‍🔬

The next half is exhaling as completely as possible while letting the chest fall. As this happens, contract your ribs, and bring your stomach muscles in. This shall enable lifting of your diaphragm while expelling all the air.

It sounds simple, but deep breathing helps clear the lungs and creates a full oxygen exchange! If you’re like most people who only take shallow breaths from your chest area and use only a small portion of your lungs, take heed!⚠️
