      You can also turn your shower head onto the hottest setting possible, and leave the bathroom, come back 10 mins later when the bathroom is completely steamed up, and hang out in there for 30 mins. Turns every solid thing in your chest into liquid, making it super easy to cough up when paired with the techniques in this video

    A year ago when COVID started there was a British couple on holiday cruising on Princess. They both developed the virus and where ultimately transferred to a Japanese hospital. The hospital wanted to put the husband on a ventilator, but he refused. Instead he said he started rigorous deep breathing exercises. He recovered without going on the ventilator. His wife's case was not as severe. Both survived. He did a RUclips video telling of their experience.

The explanation and step by step instruction is brilliant. I am not fond of the straw technique but the straw and water at the end of this video is the correct ratio. I like that the straw is used without phonation (no voice) and it finishes off the exercise routine nicely. Bravo!

    After being diagnosed with copd I was enrolled in a pulmonary rehab program. I don’t think I was taught your various breathing exercises but I was taught about blowing air through a tube into a container of water (which I do whenever the need arises). I will definitely add your various breathing techniques to my repertoire. Thank you for this video.

    • @janisdeluca3028
      @janisdeluca3028 Год назад +23

      Deep breathing is just taking a long breath in through the nose. It should be longer than your exhale. Then holding it for just a moment (don't make it a contest...just for a moment). Then exhale through the mouth. Just keep it up and your oximeter readings will go up. (You should feel the inhalations in your diaphram). A nurse turned me on to this. Keep in mind that when you are in the hospital, they will not release you unless your oximeter reading is at least at 90. So, immediately after breakfast get ready for the doctors to make their rounds...relax and practice the breathing! If you can keep your readings up and have no other issues pack your bags. I have COPD and it's pretty bad but because I've eliminated some bad teeth I've stayed out of the hospital. I also had to get medication to avoid panic attacks....not necessarily because I can't breath but when I get hot and my need for oxygen goes up! The doctors in the hospital let me know that they cannot prescribe them and said I should talk to my primary doctor. i was so suprised she dashed off a prescription. Also, if you keep getting jury summons, call them up! COPD is an acute illness. After sending letters from my doctor over and over again, I finally talked to someone with brains who excused me permanately! Remove everything you can that creates anxiety and stress. COPD is enough trouble. Good luck...be well!

      HELLO. The lungs need to be hydrated the same as muscles. We all seem to understand that muscles need to stay hydrated for best health and performance, but most people don't understand that our organs, veins and vessels require hydration for proper performance, also. "Dry cough" means that your lungs are dehydrated and therefore you cannot cough up the phlegm/sputum. Then that crap stays in your lungs and becomes infected. This was always true even before Covid, so more important now.

The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%."

      The purpose of drinking juice & eating watery foods, like soups... is to provide nutrition in addition to maintaining hydration.
      Electrolytes are extremely critical to hydration... because without them, the cells in your body cannot absorb water.
      When you are infected with pathogens... you rapidly loss electrolytes into your bloodstream, as your immune system fights off the infection, which is passed through your urine.
      This is why people, who only drink water when they are ill, become bloated. The bloating is a sign, your cells are not absorbing the water.
      You also rapidly looses essential vitamins and minerals during an infection, which can be quickly replaced with different jucies.
      This is why doctors always say to drink plenty of fluids when you are sick, to get hydrated any way you can... & given that juices are 99% water... it will literally be impossible to become dehydrated drinking & eating only juices & soups.

    In my experience, with my own cough following a cold, the important part of this is the breathing out as long as possible. Breathe out until you feel there's nothing left and you are actually making a wheezing noise. The wheezing noise is the phlegm starting to come up. At that point I can cough a bit and get something out. Instead of all that coughing without anything coming out. I'm a smoker so I always cough, and I do suffer with a cold so this strategy is great for getting rid of phlegm.

      I finally gave it up almost 2 years ago at age 42... I had been a moderate smoker since age 16. 26 years. and I loved to smoke. I did. I was sure my last breath would be exhaling cigarette smoke. I can't say exactly what pushed me to actually commit to quitting. It was a combination of wanting to be healthier that's for sure. I love going to shows and festivals like Bonnaroo and dancing all day and into the night-and i loved other physical activities like hiking and swimming and once I hit 40 I could feel the weight of all the shit in my lungs. I have always suffered from terrible migraines and the last few years of my 30s those migraines were originating from my sinuses. I wanted to smell and taste everything like I felt I had not in at least a decade. And I wanted to no longer smell like an ashtray or for my clothes or my home to smell that way either ,even though I had at least stopped smoking inside my house or my car for at least 2 years by this point. I wanted to not throw away 6-7$ every time I bought a pack of cloves and use that money for things like art supplies,new tools for woodworking and epoxy resin bc I very much wanted to start my own business making one of a kind live edge wood, epoxy river coffee tables. There were just so many things I wanted that smoking was keeping me from- in one way or another. It was hard. much harder than when I quit drinking and 2nd only to kicking opiates(which I unfortunately had to do twice bc I'm hard headed and like most addicts thought I could partake in highly addictive substances occasionally without becoming physically dependent. I found out that I was,in fact, a human being and that avoiding a physical addiction to things like pain killers and methadone is not at all possible. But I digress. Giving up smoking was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. I admit I am not a cold turkey kind of gal and as with everything else,I had to ween myself off slowly,over time. Things really picked up for my when I bought myself a new vape and e juice as my 42nd bday present to myself- and the key was spending every cent of my monthly cigarette budget when I did. I boxed myself into a perfect corner. I needed the nicotine and could have it if I vaped. Bc I also needed to pay my rent , utilities, car payment,groceries,food for my animals,ect... And bc I purposely spent every cent of cig money on a vape and juice- buying a pack of cigarettes was not going to be possible for at least 3 weeks. Period. After the 1st week though,I knew that putting down cigarettes forever was not only possible- it was already in the works. I could taste and smell everything now and no longer felt winded at the slightest of physical activities. Suddenly so many things were no longer a dream but a reality for my very near future. That kind of positive reinforcement did wonders for my self esteem and since of accomplishment and all these things combined just make the process easy. By the beginning of the next month when I had money to burn (literally-on cigarettes if I had wanted) I was so far into the whole transformation that I ended up saving that money as I continued to now vape less and less. When my e juice got low a couple of momths later i forced myself to stretch it out even further just to prove i could do it and I did not end up purchasing more e juice for another 2 weeks. When I did I finally ran out I bought only one bottle this time and in addition to a much smaller bottle i also went down on the strength as well. That ended up being my last nicotine related purchase to date. I have since only continued to make better,healthier life choices and have never looked back,never felt a twinge of regret or so much as craved even a single drag off a cigarette or a vape.
      Quitting is a ridiculously difficult thing to do. I know because my final ,successful attempt was no where near my 1st. Everything fell into place in my life- and I had a wonderful support system too.
      I share this with you bc I know if I can do it you can do it. I believe in you bc I was able to believe in myself and make the dream a reality. I wanted it enough to make it happen. And I know when you are ready- you can do it too.
      I hope this helps you- if only in the smallest of ways. I hope it will help and empower anyone hoping to make the same change for their lives and for themselves. And if you find you are not yet ready- please,don't give up the dream. It can be your reality whenever you are ready.
      No judgment. Only love... I wish you- and all who may read this- all the happiness and health this world has to offer.
      Take care and stay safe. ♡

      It's not "creepy" your phone and probably some alexa device you stupidly put in your house are listening to every move you make 24 hours a day and serving up ads to make money off us all and manipulate us all. Everyone with a smart phone has a surveillance device with them 24 7. It even uses a robot in the camera to "learn" human behavior and analyze your facial expressions through face rec and serve ads based on your feelings. The camera watches your every move. THAT'S CREEPY. Watch the movie "The Social Dilema"

    honestly I was skeptical about the whole huffing exercise but woah, that stuff helped bring up the mucus. I've tried using a nebulizer and it helped for a bit but these breathing exercising worked very well for me. Thanks so much!!
