The secrets of diaphragmatic breathing
You breathe, of course. But are you breathing correctly?
The diaphragm is our main respiratory muscle. This large and powerful muscle is located below the lungs and above the digestive system. By exercising it, we balance many vital functions!
Diaphragmatic breathing, also known as abdominal breathing, is a natural method for optimizing your breathing, reducing stress, and improving your overall health.
Discover why you should adopt this technique, and how the Neoflo breathing belt can guide you step by step.
Why diaphragmatic breathing is essential
Most people breathe shallowly, using mainly their chest. This type of breathing can limit oxygenation, increase stress, and unbalance the nervous system.
Conversely, diaphragmatic breathing hasmultiple benefits:
- Improves oxygenation: It allows the lungs to fill optimally.
- Reduces stress:By activating the vagus nerve, it calms the body and mind.
- Strengthens the diaphragm: This key muscle becomes more efficient, reducing respiratory fatigue.
- Promotes better posture: Helps stabilize the core and prevent lower back pain.
How to practice diaphragmatic breathing
Here is a simple method to get started:
- Get comfortable: Sit or lie down in a quiet place. Place one hand on your stomach and the other on your chest.
- Focus on your breathing: Inhale slowly through your nose, allowing your belly to expand. Your chest should remain almost motionless.
- Exhale slowly: Blow out slowly through your mouth, slightly contracting your abdomen to empty your lungs.
- Repeat: Continue for 5 to 10 minutes, focusing on the smooth movement of your belly.
