There is a subset of yoga that focuses solely on breathing called pranayama. I highly recommend it if you want to increase your lung capacity or build the muscles specific to breathing, and it has other benefits too.
- agumonkey 5y agoThanks, I knew the name but not it's purpose. I'll look into it tomorrow. Beside the natural tricks, I'm also considering fasting, maybe cannabinoids (thx is said to trigger cell recycling in alveoli) and mayyybe tricks related to mitochondrial health (if doable outside medical facilities) ps: even simple ground floor poses where your posture helps blood flow (head and heart at the same height) are super useful.
- voisin 5y ago> tricks related to mitochondrial health Can you elaborate?
- agumonkey 5y agoNot much sadly, it's actual cellular biology and above my skills tbh. It's part of the ideas floating in "longevity" websites and it seemed more interesting to try to monitor/help that part rather than fancier/newer ideas like epigenetic clocks etc. Mitochondria are good old established knowledge you know.. yet everywhere and important so why not investing some time to maintain that side ?
