We underappreciate the lungs’ function in our body and often won’t recognize it until we face a breathing problem, a respiratory disease, or a pandemic like COVID. Lungs are vital under any circumstances, and it is necessary to keep our respiratory health intact. But how do we do it?
Respiratory health can be affected for a few reasons—genetics, air quality in your environment, poor health habits like smoking, or other pulmonary diseases. These risk factors impact your respiratory organs negatively, making breathing difficult. However, such situations can be dealt with by improving lung capacity. One can enhance lung activity by practicing ancient breathing exercises from Yoga, engaging in physical activities like sports, or using respiratory training devices (RTDs.)
We will discuss the benefits of using RTDs and why it is a necessity in this blog.
What are RTDs?
Respiratory Training Devices, aka Breathing Trainers, are devices that are designed to improve your respiratory endurance. They strengthen your respiratory muscles like the diaphragm by making breathing momentarily difficult. Relate RTDs or Breathing Trainers to dumbbells in the gym. Just as you work on your arms with dumbbells, you work on your lungs and respiratory muscles with breathing trainers.
Why should you use RTDs?
Breathing trainers have numerous benefits in dealing with pulmonary conditions and mental health. Here are the top three reasons why you should use one:
- Coping respiratory illnesses
Patients with respiratory illnesses like COPD and asthma find breathing difficult. Surveys report training with RTDs helped the patients improve exercise capacity and breathing patterns. A similar significant change was observed in smokers/ex-smokers, who developed respiratory endurance with breathing trainers.
Some RTDs are even personalized for people with respiratory health conditions. BREINEX Lite makes a good example.
- Improved mental health
Breathing trainers and exercises help you bring your heart rate to normal and increase oxygen levels when you go through anxiety. Also, consistent training for a substantial period lowers your flight-and-fight responses, resulting in reduced stress levels.
Studies also demonstrate that a good respiratory system allows individuals to sleep better, including those who suffer from insomnia.
- Overall health
The best part about breathing trainers is they directly improve your respiratory health, plus they also benefit your overall health in different ways:
- Detoxification of the body
- Improved digestion
- Better cardiovascular health
- Enhanced cognitive abilities, memory, and brain function
These are just a few of the many health benefits that breathing trainers can bring to your lifestyle. Respiratory health needs attention, and there is no easier way to give it than with RTDs. All you need to do is train for 5-10 minutes twice a day and progress towards stronger respiratory health.
