How does breathing work?
On average, you take roughly 20,000 breaths per day. Although a primarily subconscious effort, breathing is complex and affects all parts of the body. When you breathe, you use the respiratory system and your body’s cells use the oxygen, and in return, create waste in the form of carbon dioxide.
The respiratory system is made up of the nose, mouth, throat, trachea (windpipe) and lungs. While the diaphragm is the main breathing muscle, the muscles surrounding the ribs, abdomen, neck and shoulders support your ability to breathe.
Why is breathing so important?
Breathing is the body’s most important function and affects you in a multitude of ways. That’s why, emergency responders take the ABC approach to assessing a situation on site. They determine if your airway, breathing, and circulation are functioning properly, and in that order.
Breathing in oxygen is crucial to helping defend your immune system. When you breathe oxygen in, your body creates what’s known as superoxides, helping to fight against bacteria and viruses in the body.
Aside from superoxides, the nasal turbinates play a large role in cleansing the air you breathe. The nasal turbinates are fleshy areas within the nose that facilitate the conduction, filtration and humidification of the air you breathe. Hence the importance of breathing fresh air!
What can I do to get the most out of my 20,000 breaths?
There are many ways to increase better breathing, including diet and exercise, mediation, posture and stretching, to name a few. Another way of course is to make sure you are not surrounded in your home or workplace with any nasty smells that exude bacteria such as foul drainage waste....
