been a new player in town over the past couple years that's far more harsh and that was that
viral issue we've all dealt with now unfortunately this has led to your lungs
experiencing problems like inflammatory issues immune system irregularities also
narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the lungs and then lastly increased mucus buildup now
traditionally what these issues are treated with are steroids but there's problems with that

they can cause a buildup of plaque in the arteries and also it can even lead to adrenal fatigue which
eventually is going to cause muscle weakness and chronic fatigue syndrome for you so

you so many different ways to help you improve your lungs today you are getting the book thrown
at you but this is all really important stuff you know there's some people who get amazing results
by just using one of these different methods imagine having all of them at your fingertips so
now let's look at a postural drainage technique now the whole purpose of a postural drainage
technique is to help you expel mucus from your lungs and not only help in the treatment of an
infection but also in the avoidance of a lung infection as well because if you don't have a
buildup of mucus in there it's going to be really good so how do these different postural drainage
therapies work essentially what you're going to do is just positionally put yourself your body in a
place where you're allowing this mucus to drain so first let's talk about one where you lie on your
back essentially what you do is you lie on your back you put two pillows under your hips while
you're laying there you're going to do a breathing technique you're going to take a deep breath in
through your nose and then you're going to slowly breathe out through your mouth
and during this breathing process it should take you twice as long to breathe out through
your mouth as it took you to breathe in through your nose so it's an inhalation through the nose
an exhalation through your mouth but very slowly so that's on your back and then you're going to
do the same sort of therapy but you're going to do it in different positions so the next
would be on your side and you put two pillows under your hips while you lay on your side
you're going to use that same breathing technique and then lastly you're going to land your stomach
and you're going to put two pillows under your hips and you're going to utilize
that same breathing technique and this as i mentioned is all designed to help you expel
mucus from your lungs so that you can get rid of an infection or avoid one altogether so when you
do these positional techniques essentially you're going to go on your back you'll go on each side
and then you'll also go on your stomach the breathing technique is referred to as a one
two breathing technique and then as you do this you're going to do each position for just a few
minutes this will allow you to expel mucus from your lungs all these methods i've mentioned
will be a sure way to help you improve your lung health dramatically i hope you enjoyed
