Breathe the pounds away: How you can lose weight with the right breathing

Relaxed weight loss through correct breathing? Sounds almost too good to be true. But with a certain breathing technique, you can burn calories and even train your stomach.

Slimming down by breathing correctly is the new slimming secret from Japan. The so-called ‘Long Breath Diet’ works without any sports equipment or previous experience and is designed to make the kilos tumble. Targeted breathing techniques are designed to stop cravings and stimulate digestion. We reveal exactly what’s behind this diet miracle here.

This breathing technique makes the kilos tumble

The average person breathes in and out 23,000 times a day. Each of us has an individual breathing pattern, which can also be used to draw conclusions about our state of health. When we are stressed, for example, we breathe shallowly and briefly, which increases our blood pressure and cardiac output. However, to work optimally, our digestive organs need deep breaths that give the body additional breaks for regeneration.

The Japanese method is all about influencing digestion through a special breathing technique. The aim is to bring the appetite under control and optimally stimulate overall food utilization. At the same time, the correct posture stimulates diaphragmatic breathing, which lowers blood pressure and has a positive effect on circulation.

What’s behind the fat-away formula

During the special breathing exercises, the blood is actively saturated with oxygen. The oxygen then converts the fat cells in the body into carbon dioxide and water. We exhale the carbon dioxide, and the water is removed by the metabolism. In the best-case scenario, the fat dissolves, as fatty acids are exhaled through the lungs. The more oxygen the body consumes, the more fat is burned. The Japanese actor Miki Ryosuke is said to have used this method to lose a whole 13 kg and five cm in body circumference within 50 days.

How the Long Breath Diet works

The good news is that you don’t need any equipment or prior knowledge to use the ‘Long Breath’ method:

• Stand upright in a slight lunge.
• Tighten your buttocks and shift your weight onto your back foot.
• Then take a deep breath for three seconds and raise your arms above your head at the same time.
• Then exhale forcefully for seven seconds and try to tense all your muscles.
• You should repeat this sequence for two to five minutes. The longer you perform the breathing technique, the better results you can expect.

The Long Breath Diet not only helps you lose weight, but can also help to reduce stress. Targeted breathing provides new energy, and both the mind and body are more balanced and efficient as a result.
