Healthy functioning of the heart and lungs, two vital organs, is linked to breathing. If you do breathing exercise, the oxygen level in the body is correct, blood pressure is under control, sleep is good. Breathing problems can lead to lung disease and heart disease.
Keeping in mind the current corona situation, breathing exercises must be given importance. Take a full chest breath and hold it as long as you can, then slowly exhale. This results in exercise of the lung cells, preventing them from being easily damaged by viruses. The patient also does not get shortness of breath easily.
By tensing the spine, first exhale through the mouth and expel all the air from the lungs. Take a deep breath and fill your lungs with as much air as possible. After that hold your breath as long as possible. Again let out all the air. This practice can be done at least twice a day. It will increase the performance of the lungs.
This disease called Covid-19 mainly affects the lungs. For this reason, experts are emphasizing lung exercise in addition to treatment to recover from Covid-19.
Bangladesh Health Directorate Additional Director General Professor Dr. Nasima Sultana has said several times in regular briefings that those who are receiving treatment from home, those who have been infected or identified, will especially focus on increasing immunity.
"At this time, you will continue the lung exercise (Exercise) or respiratory exercise regularly. Because, many times cough can be accompanied by shortness of breath. Continue the breathing exercises regularly.”
"Exercise the lungs in this process by breathing deeply and without breathing deeply. In this way, lung exercise will keep the lungs much more active," said the Additional Director General of the Health Department.
