How to Naturally Increase Oxygen – 2 Breathing Exercises
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position with your back straight.
Place one hand on your upper chest and the other on your abdomen, just below your ribs.
Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, feeling your abdomen expand. Your chest should rise minimally.
Breathe out slowly through pursed lips, feeling your abdomen draw inward.
Repeat for 10-15 minutes, aiming for a smooth, rhythmic breath.
2. Alternate nostril breathing:
Sit comfortably with your back straight.
Close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale slowly through your left nostril.
Close your left nostril with your ring finger and exhale slowly through your right nostril.
Inhale through your right nostril, close it with your thumb, exhale through your left nostril, and continue alternating for 10-15 minutes.
These exercises can help strengthen your diaphragm, the primary muscle for breathing, and improve the efficiency of your oxygen intake. Remember to practice consistently for optimal results.
Here are some additional tips for naturally increasing oxygen intake:
Spend time outdoors in fresh air.
Exercise regularly, but avoid overexertion.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke.
By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can support your body’s natural ability to absorb and utilize oxygen effectively.
