Breathing is an act that we are doing all the time. It is synonymous with living. If we didn’t breathe, we wouldn’t be alive. Infact, we breathe in about 22,000 times a day!
But did you know that you may not be breathing right?
Breathing is more than just taking in and throwing out air through your nose. Have you ever thought about what causes us to breathe in air and also breathe it out?
There is science behind breathing - not just biology but also physics. A special muscle called the diaphragm plays a major role in the act of breathing. When diaphragm contracts, it creates some suction in the lungs which helps to pull air in from outside. This is how we breathe in. When diaphragm relaxes, it pushes air out of the lungs.
Where is this diaphragm located? - It is a muscle between the lung and the abdominal cavity. Our stomach is a part of the abdominal cavity. And when this muscle, the diaphragm, contracts and relaxes, it not only affects the lungs but also the stomach. If our body is using the diaphragm well, our stomach will contract as we breathe in and expand as we breathe out! So, if you are filling in your lungs well while breathing, your stomach will tell you that!
How about that for the role of diaphragm in breathing!
