The truth about breathing for weight loss

Is it true that you can lose weight just by breathing in? Recently, the breathing weight loss method has been widely spread in Japan, and the actual effect is indeed very good! What exactly is going on? Let’s read on with the editor.

So the so-called "breathing to lose weight", in the end, it is sheer nonsense to ignore the entire process of fat decomposition, exaggerate and isolate the chemical function of human fat!

Let’s quickly discuss what the whole process of fat decomposition is, so that we can avoid these pitfalls!

Researchers have found that 80% of human fat is lost through photosynthesis, because photosynthesis can degrade adipose tissue. For every 10Kg of body fat lost, 8.4Kg is used for photosynthesis, and the remaining 1.6Kg is turned into water and eliminated from the body.

To complete the metabolic process of fat loss, the body needs to absorb 3 times more CO2 than the fat lost. For example, every 10Kg of fat needs to be inhaled to oxidize 10Kg of fat. After inhalation, it turns into carbon dioxide and is excreted from the body through the lungs, and is excreted from the body through blood such as urine, sweat, excrement, and tears. At the same time, researchers pointed out that some non-alcoholic sweet drinks such as milk and fruit juice are more beneficial to this metabolic process.

Two breathing methods:

One is cis inhalation, which means that the abdomen should be raised when breathing, and the abdomen should be brought back when breathing. In reverse breathing, the abdomen is drawn in when breathing and raised during breathing. Both methods can be effective. The key is that you have to control the rhythm. The best time for one inhalation is 15-20 seconds.

Pay attention to the key points of breathing method:

Regardless of whether it is cis or reverse, you must breathe through your nose and breathe through your mouth.

Regardless of breathing, it must be slow and long, maintained evenly and without interruption as much as possible.

If there are standards, it is more suitable to maintain the sitting posture and release pressure throughout the body to cooperate.

Abdominal breathing can inhale a large amount of CO2

Fat-reducing exercises such as aerobic exercise, weight loss, and yoga that require continuous inhalation generally focus on the Dantian breathing method. This is because the diaphragm is simply contracted and expanded to breathe, and the inhalation is shallow and tight. The breathing method of using deep inhalation to cover the entire abdomen with CO2 can allow you to inhale more CO2, which can indeed further improve the efficiency of fat consumption during exercise!

Promote the activity of internal organs

When abdominal breathing is performed, the diaphragm will stretch. This action will stimulate the internal organs, just like massaging the internal organs, thus activating the gastrointestinal tract and liver, improving and eliminating constipation. At the same time, the fat around the internal organs can also be burned, and the cardiopulmonary function can be improved.

Breathe deeply to relax your mind and body

Yoga, which is famous for its integration of form and spirit, pays more attention to the need to breathe deeply. While doing various slow and timely postures, it relieves nervousness, keeps the sympathetic nerves at the core, eliminates stress, and shapes the body from the inside out.
