Take Care of Your Respiratory System
Are you hunched over? "Are you breathing shallowly?" If you are at the computer all day long, you will unknowingly lean forward and breathe shallowly. Even if you are working, stretch your back about once an hour and take a slow, deep breath.
Staying in stagnant air for too long is not good either. Ventilate your room regularly to get as much fresh air as possible.
Smoking is said to increase the risk of aggravation during viral infection. If possible, there is nothing better than not smoking. Passive smoking is also risky. If you have a family member, housemate, or smoker at work, ask them to separate smoking areas.
Protect your throat and nose. The virus is said to be easy to get in the throat and nose. Wash your hands and gargle regularly, and humidify the room to prevent it from becoming too dry. Herbal tea, throat lozenges, and vitamin supplements are also said to be effective in protecting your throat. It is said that gargling your nose is effective in preventing colds, hay fever, and influenza, so why not give it a try?
Learn how to breathe. If you look into Tanden breathing method, yoga breathing method, reverse abdominal breathing, etc., you will find various breathing methods. You can easily do it at home, so let's practice it.
Try some exercises to strengthen your respiratory system. There is a breathing muscle stretching exercise, so why not try it?
The respiratory system is one of the most important organs in our lives. Let's take care of it and aim to make a body that doesn't lose to disease.
