How To Prevent Asthma With A Simple Exercise Anyone Can Do
| Wouldn’t it be great if there was a simple way of preventing an asthma attack as soon as it started? While that may not be possible as yet, there is an exercise that can help dramatically, and this article shows you what it is. |
We would all like to know how to prevent asthma, and while an instant cure or relief may be asking too much there is a simple exercise that is almost guaranteed to strengthen your resistance to asthma so you have attacks less often, and that can actually help you gain relief when you do have an attack.
This exercise is powerful, and it helps increase your resistance to many allergies, though it is particularly potent against asthma. It is also very health giving generally and helps you regain your strength and energy after illness or an accident.
1. Lying flat on your back with your knees bent slightly and your feet flat on the floor, take a deep breath through the nose and slowly reach up with both arms towards the ceiling. Tense all the muscles in your arms, clenching your fists and holding your breath.
2. Exhale slowly through your nose, drawing your fists down slowly towards your chest. Keep your arms tensed and your fists clenched throughout, allowing your elbows to go out to your sides.
3. Allow your fists to touch your chest and then relax them, together with your arms. You should by now have fully exhaled.
4. Repeat this several times. Always inhale and exhale through your nose and make use of your diaphragm movements rather than consciously breathe in and out. Emphasise the tension and tightness of your arm muscles when pulling them down towards your chest, as if pulling healing energy into your lungs. Conversely, when you are reaching up your arms should be relaxed and you should stretch right up as far as you can without straining.
5. When you’ve done this exercise a few times, stop, but continue lying on the floor for a few minutes until you feel ready to stand up. Relax your arms at the side of your body palms up. Breathe deeply through your nose and visualise healing energy being directed to where in your body it’s required.
The important thing about this exercise is that you should really concentrate on your breathing, utilising the full volume of your lungs, and relax as completely as possible whilst doing it. Make sure you don’t have any interruptions and that you have a quiet, stress-free room in which to do it.
If you practise this exercise regularly it may not completely be the answer to how to prevent asthma altogether, but it will strengthen your resistance and keep further attacks to a minimum.
