Especially lazy people do not want to lose weight by undergoing active training and "painful" diet with proper nutrition. It is for them that nutritionists have developed breathing exercises for weight loss, which allows for a few days to significantly reduce the volume and tighten muscles. 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 - such as cardiovascular or musculoskeletal disorders. It all has to do with proper breathing and saturation of the body's cells with the oxygen needed for normal life. In fact, this can be achieved through regular sports, but since this is not normal life, it means that it is necessary to fill the deficit with breathing exercises.
What are breathing exercises?
Experts say that breathing exercises help to lose weight due to the supply of oxygen to fat cells and their subsequent burning in the body - thus speeding up the process significantly (this fact encourages those who lose weight to breathe properly when playing sports). This is evidenced by numerous examinations of those who have lost weight, who perform exercises with a certain regularity.
This is important: Choosing the type of exercise for weight loss is recommended only with the permission of your doctor. This will allow you to choose a technique that will not harm existing diseases or injuries that have occurred once.
Breathing gymnastics today is represented by a different set of exercises, which are divided into techniques - body flex, oxy, yoga, pranayama and other practices. All these methods are based on deep breathing, which ensures the penetration of oxygen deep into blood cells and internal organs.
The advantages of the technique
Breathing exercises to lose weight on the abdomen, thighs and other problem areas have the following advantages:
- Deep breathing promotes the oxidation of fat cells, which leads to their natural burning. If people always breathed properly, there would be no problems with being overweight. According to research by experts, the average person uses only 25% of lung volume.
- Oxygen saturation of the body promotes better absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals from the digestive tract. This significantly improves metabolism, which counteracts weight gain.
- Oxygen helps to dull the 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 properly, you can get rid of toxins and other harmful substances accumulated in fat cells. This fact helps to quickly oxidize and eliminate them from the body.
- Breathing exercises are allowed to be performed even by people with injuries who are forbidden to play standard sports.
The technique of breathing exercises for weight loss is often recommended to combat the abdomen. 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 quickly in the case of overeating or eating large amounts of fatty foods and at the same time are eliminated first. Therefore, if problems occur in the presented area, along with dietary restrictions, it is necessary to do breathing exercises.
