Air Pollution: Try these 6 breathing exercises to protect your lungs

Diaphragmatic Breathing: This exercise encourages deeper breathing by engaging the diaphragm. 

Pursed Lip Breathing: This technique helps slow down your breathing and keeps your airways open longer. Inhale through your nose for two counts, then purse your lips as if you’re going to whistle and exhale slowly for four counts.

Box Breathing: This method involves breathing in a structured pattern. 

Alternate Nostril Breathing: This yoga technique balances the breath and calms the mind. Sit comfortably, close your right nostril with your thumb, inhale through your left nostril, then close your left nostril with your ring finger and exhale through the right nostril.

Humming Breathing: Humming while exhaling can increase the amount of nitric oxide in your body, which helps open up air passages. Inhale deeply through your nose, and as you exhale, hum gently.

Deep Breathing with Arm Raises: This exercise combines deep breathing with physical movement. Stand or sit comfortably, inhale deeply while raising your arms overhead, then exhale slowly while lowering your arms.
