Your structure and the integrity of your nervous system plays a huge role in breathing Repost from
•
According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, here's how breathing is supposed to work:

◾️Your intercostal muscles contract to expand your rib cage, lowering the air pressure in your lungs and creating a vacuum in the chest cavity.
◾️Air flows through your nose and mouth in response to the vacuum.
◾️The intercostal muscles and diaphragm relax while the abdominal muscles contract, pushing air out of the lungs.

Now, if you have poor posture what happens? 

The intercostal muscles and diaphragm can't contract well to create a good vacuum--with the abdomen compressed, your organs flat out can't get out of the way. You don't take in nearly as much air as your lungs actually can hold. Your weak abs also do a sucky job pushing what air you get back out.

A 2006 study from the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation showed that poor posture (slumping) produced the worst lung capacity and expiratory flow compared to normal sitting and a posture designed to mimic standing spinal alignment.

Without enough O2, you're at risk for issues like fatigue and even stress on your heart. That can activate a more overall stress response through the body, elevating cortisol. Elevated cortisol is associated with a host of conditions, such as weight gain, mood swings and trouble sleeping. It also links to a shutdown of the executive functions of the brain, meaning you can forget about great decision making or real focus.

Here's a good, basic diaphragmatic breathing exercise: 

👃Lie down on your back. Let your chest open naturally

👃Inhale slowly. Focus on your abdomen coming up and pressing against your hand. 

👃Exhale smoothly, tightening your abdominal muscles. 

You should start by doing this exercise 5 to 10 minutes at a time 3 to 4 times a day.
