Have you not yet heard the term respiratory exercise, or perhaps respiratory gymnastics? Both terms mean the same thing. These are exercises for the airways that help with breathing difficulties; when recovering from coronavirus they can also serve as a good preventive measure. These are not heavy exercises — you can manage them very easily, even from the comfort of your bed. So don’t make excuses that you are not feeling well. On the contrary, bite the bullet and get started! After all, you wouldn’t let such an important life function as breathing be ruined because of a single illness you went through.
You can do many exercises from the comfort of your home, but if you want to be completely sure that you are performing the exercises as well as possible, arrange respiratory physiotherapy once you have recovered. Something as simple as the following can help you:
- deep breathing
- static breathing exercises
Try simple deep breathing
Taking a deep breath in and out is something any of us can really manage. It is not a strenuous exercise that should be difficult for you after an illness or during it. Moreover, if you really don’t feel well and cannot get out of bed, that’s no problem at all. You can breathe deeply even while lying on your back. Deep breathing is credited with several improvements. In the first place you will get more oxygen into your body; at the same time you will reduce stress and help speed up your metabolism. Last but not least, you harmonize blood circulation and make it easier for the body to detoxify, which can be supported by other natural preparations such as chlorella.
Static breathing exercises
Static breathing exercises are also one of those exercises that really anyone can handle. A sitting position is recommended; however, if you really don’t feel well, remain calmly lying on your back in bed. Try to breathe into your abdomen so that your belly rises as high as possible. Many people think that breathing into the belly is an impossible task for them. If you concentrate on what you are doing, you will certainly manage it after a few attempts.
