Especially lazy people do not want to lose weight, undergoing active training and a "painful" diet of proper nutrition. It is for them that nutritionists have developed breathing exercises for weight loss, which allow in a few days to significantly reduce the volume and tighten the muscles. Is it 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 pathologies. It involves proper breathing and saturation of the body's cells with the oxygen necessary for normal life. Indeed, this can be achieved through regular sports, but as this is not in normal life, it means that you need to make up for the deficit with breathing exercises.
What Are Breathing Exercises?
Experts say that breathing exercises help to lose weight by supplying oxygen to fat cells and their subsequent burning in the body - in this way the process is significantly accelerated (it is this fact that encourages those who are losing weight to breathe properly. while playing sports). This is proven by numerous reviews of those who have lost weight, who have performed exercises with some regularity.
This is important: the choice of the type of exercise for weight loss is recommended only with the permission of the doctor. It will allow you to choose a technique that will not harm existing diseases or injuries that have occurred once.
Respiratory gymnastics today is represented by a different set of exercises, which are divided into techniques: bending of the body, oxy-cutting, yoga, pranayama and other practices. All these methods are based on deep breathing, which ensures the penetration of oxygen deep into the 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 favors the oxidation of fat cells, resulting in their natural combustion. If people always breathed correctly, there would be no problems with being overweight. According to research by specialists, the average person uses only 25% of the lung volume.
- Saturating the body with oxygen promotes better absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals by the digestive tract. This significantly improves metabolism, which counteracts weight gain.
- Oxygen helps suppress appetite, as it promotes the production of ATP molecules, the substances responsible for the rapid breakdown of incoming food into energy. The same fact naturally leads to rapid satiety.
- If you breathe correctly, you can eliminate toxins and other harmful substances accumulated in fat cells. This fact helps their rapid oxidation and elimination from the body.
- Respiratory gymnastics exercises can also be performed by people with injuries that are prohibited by standard sports.
The breathing exercise technique for weight loss is often recommended to fight the belly. This is due to the simple fact of the deposition of fat cells on the internal organs of the abdominal space. As a rule, these fat cells accumulate rapidly in the event of overeating or ingesting large amounts of fatty foods and, at the same time, are eliminated first. Therefore, if problems appear in the presented area, along with a nutritional restriction, it is necessary to perform breathing exercises.

The exercise consists of a normal deep inhalation with the nose in an upright position, when the abdomen is pulled in and the muscles are tense at the same time. This is followed by a slight holding of the breath. The exhalation is performed in jerks with the mouth with the lips tightly closed - while the abdominal muscles also gradually weaken.
