EXERCISE - " BREATH OF FIRE " TO FIGHT COVID

This pandemic , statistics do not show signs of ending soon, however, doctors across the world agree on one point, that is by increasing our immunity and making our immune system stronger, we can battle it.

Here is a breathing exercise that can help to improve our health and immunity during COVID times.

Kapaalbhati ( also called as " Breath of fire ")

The word kapalabhati is made up of two Sanskrit words: kapāla meaning 'skull', and bhāti meaning, illuminating'.

What does it do:

It activates the diaphragm area, which in turn engages the internal organs and glands in that area. It also helps in activating the lymphatic system, which decides the immunity level of the body. It also increases the resistance of your respiratory tract. It helps in overall detoxification.

How to do it:

Sit in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and let your body relax. Ensure your face is relaxed and calm when you do the exercise. Exhale through both the nostrils with a forceful contraction of abdominal muscles. The inhalation should take place passively by allowing the abdominal muscles to relax.
