The role of breathing exercises in human life
Breathing exercises or simply breathing exercises are performed in all types of physical education and sports. But there are also special breathing exercises: both as independent types of therapeutic physical education, and as special sections of various health practices. Breathing, of course, is a very important process. For example, yogis say that you need to breathe only through your nose, and if someone breathes through your mouth, then through your nose. They are probably joking. After all, they themselves say that solid food should be drunk, and liquid - chewed. And they themselves sometimes drink through their nose. But how do they chew it? The East is a delicate matter! And in the East, they often refer to our smaller brothers for comparison. They are supposedly closer to nature, so you need to do as they do. But a lot of animals breathe through their mouths!
In general, breathing exercises are needed by almost everyone. But this tool is very specific and risky. Here, as everywhere - the norm is needed. And common sense.
Under normal conditions, the human body itself regulates all the processes that ensure its vital activity. That's how nature has done it. Therefore, there is no right or wrong breathing for each individual organism. Each person breathes not because he wants to, not because it is right or wrong, but as his body needs, as it is more profitable for his body to ensure its existence. It may be wrong to breathe through the mouth, but what if you have a runny nose? Or do you swim with scuba gear? Everyone breathes as his body needs, depending on the state of this organism. 100% healthy and breathes 100% correctly. And when he sleeps, and when he plows, and when breathing stops by itself or becomes more frequent in a very characteristic way. But an asthmatic, without curing his main ailment, cannot breathe "correctly". Pregnant women also cannot breathe "correctly". They breathe as their body needs. During gymnastics - it's a different matter. But again, different gymnastics suggest different breathing methods, which sometimes give similar, but more often completely opposite results. Theoretically, the right choice of breathing gymnasticsemotional state. , and there are many of them, can help in solving various problems.
Now breathing exercises are used in conjunction with various types of oriental gymnastics and martial arts. But much more often in medical institutions as an element of therapeutic physical education. Especially for bedridden patients. Only in hospitals are breathing exercises conducted by specialists who know why, what, how and how much to do for each patient and on the strict recommendation of a doctor. And breathing exercises in martial arts classes, and gymnastics in general, and breathing in particular are offered, as a rule, by "specialists" who may know how to breathe according to a certain method that they offer, and how each specific person who is engaged should do it and whether it is appropriate at all. The benefits of such gymnastics may be less than the harm.
People who have health problems usually want to do special breathing exercises. And not only physical. If there are problems with the head, then breathe or not... Although, they say that it helps someone, especially if the problems are mental. Psycho-emotional problems with the help of breathing exercises are much easier to solve than others, but... They can also be earned. The problem is still the same. Before starting classes, you need to clearly determine what you need and what the specialist you are addressing can offer.
Breathing is a multi-level process. Of course, when talking about breathing, its training or problems, we mean only the external manifestation. In fact, how we breathe depends on the processes that occur deep in the body at the molecular level in the cells, and not just on whether we have a blocked nose or the elevator does not work.
First of all, breathing provides energy processes. And energy processes depend mainly on motor activity. Therefore, the best breathing exercises are aerobics. But not basement-dancing, but in nature, in the fresh air. It is useful for adults and children, sick and healthy. And if you also connect special breathing exercises to such aerobics, stretching, and athletics.
There are a lot of breathing exercises, or rather, methods of breathing exercises. Don't grab the first one you come across or the one that's fashionable, but find out from the person who offers it to you what other methods he knows, how they differ from others and why he offers you this particular method. After all, "pumping out" drowned people and forced ventilation of the lungs in a state of clinical death are also breathing exercises, albeit passive ones.
