Cleaning Out Your Lungs With Lung Exercises

While the biggest problem facing smokers who want to do a lung cleanse is the tar that holds the toxins in your lungs and prevents your bodies natural lung cleaning processes there are some things that you can do regularly to help eliminate some of those carcinogens and microbes that infest your lungs.

Lung exercises are one important thing you need to do to detox lungs for better respiratory health. These are not that hard to imagine ans there are only two things you do with lungs: Inhale and Exhale.

However it is HOW you do this that makes all the difference. Some sample exercises you can try to start you on a lung detox are:

  • All out exercise - One problem we have is that we often do not breathe OUT enough to get rid of stale air in our lungs. By taking a deep breath then breathing out steadily until you are out of breath allows you to get to the point you are still holding a little bit of stale air which often contains some of the bad things we want to get rid of. From here try to breath out even More with little huh,huh,huh noises and you will be amazed at just how empty you can get your lungs. Once you have gone as far as you can take a deep breath of air, give your self a minute then do this again a few more time. If you start coughing or feel light headed please tone it down a bit to start ... you will get better over time.
  • Lung capacity exercise - Increasing your lung capacity is a good idea for better breathing but is also a good way to stretch your lungs hopefully breaking up some tar along the way. This is basically just breathing deeply and holding your breath but you need to concentrate on your diaphragm. This is the muscles between your lungs and your stomach which make you breath. So try to draw your breath as deep and as low into your lungs as you can not just to your chest area so you expand your lungs as much as you can. Repeat this a few times every day for increased lung capacity.
This will be helpful in lung cleansing but to get rid of that tar you need certain extra nutritional help and vitamin supplements. Click below to find out more from the guide that helped me quit smoking and breathe easier.
