The German Lung Foundation has shown the importance of exercise for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary embolism (COPD) as well as pharmacological treatment.
The practice of improving the breathing and thus reducing the shortness of breath often suffered by patients, noting that the practice of "Tai Chi" in particular has proved effective in improving the health of patients.
"Tai Chi" is an ancient Chinese defense martial art similar to the Shadow Boxing, which is performed on a series of slow and agile movements, which improve the efficiency of blood circulation and strengthen immune functions.
The exercise also focuses on deep breathing from the abdomen, which helps improve the functioning of the lungs.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease characterized by bronchial obstruction, chronic airflow and lung function.
This deficiency is gradually exacerbated and is not entirely reversible by means of expanded bronchodilators.
Smoking is the main cause of the disease, whose main symptoms are dyspnea, cough, and sputum.
