Abstract

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to therapeutic gymnastics, preventive medicine. Method includes deep cogged-wheel breathing in the form of upper, lower and full breathing with air retention during inhalation and exercise. First, lying in bed and sitting, the following physical exercises are performed – rubbing fingers, rotating hands, squeezing the fingers into a fist, tilting feet back and forth and to the sides, “bicycle” exercise, rubbing the abdomen around the navel, massage of the colon and rectum by pulling in the corresponding muscles, rubbing the paravertebral muscles, turning the head and feet right and left, lifting arms and legs upwards with their shaking, rubbing the palms of the hands, rubbing the palms of the face from the chin to the scalp, pressing the left, right leg to the chest together, rubbing the palms of the face from the nose to the ears and from the middle of the forehead to the ears, tilting the head to the left-right, on the chest and back. Then breathing exercises are performed in combination with physical exercises for the eyes and head, moreover, breathing is carried out by intermittent inhaling through the nose for 5–7 times with upper or lower breathing, and 3 intermittent inhalations into the lower part of the lungs. After that, 2–4 intermittent breaths to the upper part of the lungs with full breathing, after a full intermittent breath, breath is held for 10–20 seconds, followed by intermittent exhalation of air through tightly compressed lips for 12–18 seconds. During breath delays during the execution of the upper breath, 2 exercises for the eyes are performed successively: blinking and movement of the eyeballs from the lower position to the uppermost position and back. During performing of lower breathing, 4 exercises for the eyes are successively performed: the movement of the eyeballs to the left and back, to the right and back, diagonally to the left-to-right and back. During performing of full breathing, 2 exercises for the eyes are performed: circular movements of the eyeballs clockwise and counterclockwise, tapping the tips of the fingers of the left and right hands on the scalp from the forehead to the crown and back, to the neck and back, from the temples to the crown and back. After breathing exercises, physical exercises are performed in a standing position: raising and lowering the heels, pushing the body away from the wall with the help of hands, rotation of the shoulder joints, raising the right hand up and tilting the body to the left, raising the left hand up and tilting the body to the right, rotating the pelvis, swinging the legs, lifting dumbbells weighing 1 kg each, as well as 40–50 squats.EFFECT: method provides an effective supply of oxygen to the body by increasing the volume of the lungs, optimizing the content of carbon dioxide in the blood, expanding the blood vessels.1 cl

Description

The invention relates to medicine, healing the body, physiotherapy exercises and can be used to increase the vital capacity of the lungs, a full supply of oxygen to the main organs of a person, increase the content of carbon dioxide in the blood, increase the cross section of blood vessels, prevent and treat human diseases.

To date, several breathing methods have been developed, which sometimes contradict each other. Until recently, the method of deep breathing, developed many centuries ago by Indian yogis, which they improved until recently and was used to treat many diseases, was considered the most effective.

However, in recent decades, some scientists have begun to argue that deep breathing is harmful to human health. The reason for this was the study of the famous scientist Buteyko KP, who claimed that deep breathing “washes out” carbon dioxide from the blood when the inhaled air comes in contact with the blood vessels in the lungs, which impairs the absorption of oxygen by the body.

Further research by academician N. Agadzhanyan, Yu.N. Mishustin and their students have confirmed that carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) in the blood has a vasodilating effect. They conducted special studies and determined that at a young age in humans, the content of CO ₂ in the blood is 6.0-6.5%, and in old age it decreases to 3.6-4.5 due to “improper deep breathing” %

The following are the main breathing methods described in the literature. The historically most important role in the development of deep breathing belongs to yogis. The method of deep breathing is described by the yogi Ramacharak in the book "The Science of the Breath of Indian Yogis" (Petrograd, 1916). The book shows the most important role of deep breathing in people's lives and its impact on their health, life expectancy, mental and physical performance. It is shown that "people who use shallow breathing doom their organs to disease, and their body to shortened life."

Yogis have developed the following types of deep breathing: upper, lower (diaphragm), full and cleansing. In upper breathing, they also included middle (costal) breathing. Although people most often use upper breath in everyday practice, the yogi Ramacharaka considered it the worst, since with great effort (raising the collarbones and shoulders), the minimum result is obtained.

In the lower (diaphragm) breathing, a powerful muscle is used that separates the human chest and abdominal cavity. With lower breathing at the stage of inspiration, the diaphragm is pulled down, pressing on the internal organs of the abdominal cavity and thereby increasing the volume of the lungs into which the inhaled air enters.

Full breathing involves the consistent use of lower, middle, and upper breathing. Yogis consider full breath the most beneficial. They use it almost daily every day in numerous exercises in combination with some kind of physical exercise and cleansing breath. Exercise varies depending on the disease being treated. Cleansing breathing is performed after complete breathing with expiration of air through tightly compressed lips in portions at intervals of less than or equal to 1 second.

Yogis in their daily medical practice excluded lower and upper breathing as independent types of breathing and usually performed breathing exercises in the following sequence: full breathing, physical exercise, deep full breath and cleansing breath. The duration of such exercises is about three hours. At the same time, about 40 different physical exercises are performed to prevent various of the most dangerous diseases (typhoid, cholera, tuberculosis, etc.).

Further development of deep breathing was performed by the famous Japanese scientist - Professor Nishi. He was completely in solidarity with the yogis by the method of deep breathing and also excluded middle and upper breathing from everyday practice. The breathing exercises he developed also included only complete breathing, one physical exercise and cleansing breathing. He mistakenly believed that cleansing breathing was necessary to remove “harmful” carbon dioxide from the lungs.

He developed many new physical exercises for the treatment of various diseases. He reported on the results of his studies at lectures in the USA, the contents of which, on the initiative of scientists from St. Petersburg, were summarized in two books authored by Niche: "Energy Breathing" (2001) and "Respiratory Practices" (2010).

The first of these books describes 40 breathing exercises that differ in physical exercises, which take 3 hours to complete. The second of these books describes another 50 exercises, including skin breathing, diaphragm training, deep breathing while walking, etc. The duration of breathing exercises is 2-3 hours, which should be performed before meals or 1.5 hours after food.

From the perspective of the present, the method of deep breathing developed by yogis and professor Nishi has the following disadvantages:

- the use of cleansing breathing techniques to remove “harmful” carbon dioxide;

- ignoring upper and lower breathing as independent breathing methods. They are only partially used with full breathing. At the same time, Nishi recommended using the lower breath only 30%, and the remaining 70% should come through the upper breath;

- long duration of breathing exercises.

Strelnikova A.N., who developed paradoxical gymnastics, which provides a sharp, noisy, but not deep breath for 1 second with simultaneous strong compression of the chest using various physical exercises, made a great contribution to the development of respiratory gymnastics. The method is described in the book Shchetinina M.N. "Respiratory gymnastics Strelnikova" (M., 2000). Performing gymnastics according to the specified method allows filling the alveoli of the lungs with high speed and pressure, which in the presence of increased air pressure in the lungs leads to better absorption of oxygen. The method has found wide application for voice casting in actors and for the treatment of many diseases. The author recommended that at home two classes a day for 30 minutes, morning and evening before meals. With the departure of Strelnikova A.N. from life, the method has ceased to be applied mainly because of its complexity.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (India), Suprunova T.P. and Eliseev A.V. (Russia) proposed a rather complex and, at first glance, original “Method of performing respiratory gymnastics” (RF patent No. 2203645 with priority dated June 28, 2008). Essentially, in the proposed breathing exercises 2 independent methods are described, including:

- the preparatory phase, including separate alternate breathing of the lower, middle and upper lungs, performed with resistance to breathing in the throat on inhalation and exhalation. The respiration of each of the departments of the lungs is controlled by hands, both during inhalation and when exhaling by moving them along the body or holding them in different parts of the body, which, according to the authors, prevent breathing in neighboring parts of the lungs. In this case, breathing exercises are performed in the sequence: inhalation - delay - exhalation - delay in the rhythm of the count 4-4-6-2, respectively.

The final part of the preparatory phase is the implementation of physical exercises by raising the hands while inhaling upward and releasing them, and while exhaling - lowering the hands and squeezing the fingers into a fist. At the same time, the rhythm of performing exercises on inhalation and exhalation is 1 second. The movement of the hands is like the swing of a blacksmith's fur and is called "Bastrika". Perform 3 circles of exercises of 15 breaths in each. The authors claim that the 4 exercise “Bastrika” helps to clear the nasal passages and saturates the body with energy.

The main stage of Sudarshan Kriya involves rhythmic breathing in three different cycles in three cycles: large, medium and small. Classes are held under the guidance of an instructor for 30 minutes each using the music "So Ham"; the recording contains rhythms of a large, medium and small circle. A large cycle is performed in the rhythm of inspirations and exhalations of equal duration. Breathing is performed in the ratio of inhalation-exhalation 1: 1 at a rate of 19-20 breaths per minute; while breathing is superficial.

In the middle cycle, take a smooth breath and exhale quickly; 2: 1 inspiratory-expiratory ratio. The duration of the inhalation is 1 sec, the exhalation is 0.5 sec. Breathing is more superficial than in a large cycle. The pace is 40-50 breaths per minute (0.6-0.7 seconds each). When performing a small cycle, make a quick superficial breath and the same sharp exhale; the ratio of inspiration-expiration 1: 1. The breathing rate is 60-80 breaths per minute (1-0.75 sec each). Moreover, these cycles are performed in 3-7 circles; one circle includes sequentially executed large, medium and small cycles.

The positive side of the proposed method is the presence of physical exercises, which, unfortunately, are limited only by the movement of the hands in some breathing exercises. But there are serious flaws, including:

- the method is very complicated in execution and can hardly be used without an instructor;

- at the preparatory stage, it is proposed to perform respiratory gymnastics with air filling separately for each of the lung departments (lower, middle and upper) with the regulation of air supply to this or that department using peculiar hand movements. Such a proposal is erroneous, since all departments of the lungs represent a single space, there are no shutters, valves or other devices in the lungs and no ingenious hand movements can prevent airflow from one department of the lungs to another. In science, the principle of communicating vessels is widely known, according to which, with a difference in pressure of liquids or gases in different parts of the volume, they inevitably flow from the part where the pressure is higher to another part of the volume with less pressure;

- on page 2 of the application description it is rightly noted that "a comprehensive recovery of the body can be achieved by performing rhythmic breathing exercises according to the yoga system." Unfortunately, the authors did not refer to the works of yogis and the Japanese professor Nishi, which described the essence of the respiratory gymnastics of yogis. The main thing in it is deep breathing, carried out with the help of lower, upper and complete breathing, which provide a significant improvement in the supply of oxygen to the body compared to shallow breathing, however, in this patent there is no hint of deep breathing, but only shallow shallow breathing, which, according to the statement of yogis, only brings harm to the body;

- the authors in many exercises use rapid breathing with a duration of inspiration and expiration of about 1 second or even less (0.5-0.7 seconds). In this mode of breathing in the lungs, ideal conditions are created for leaching carbon dioxide from the blood, reducing its content in the blood, impairing the absorption of oxygen by the body and reducing the cross-section of blood vessels, which inevitably leads to diseases of various human organs;

- the practical use of the proposed method is not supported by any measurements (vital capacity of the lungs, the content of CO ₂ in the blood, etc.)

The founder of shallow breathing is Buteyko K.P. He categorically opposed the deep breathing developed by yogis, believing that it “leaches” carbon dioxide from the blood and worsens people's health. Dr. Buteyko K.P. He proposed a method of "Strong-willed elimination of deep breathing" (VLGD). It is described in his book "The Buteyko Method. Experience of Implementation in Medical Practice" (M., 1990). This method uses only upper breathing. A slow breath gradually decreases and practically the air reaches only the level of the nasopharynx, without entering the lungs. Such shallow breathing should be carried out from three to ten minutes in each procedure. Extremely insignificant superficial respiration and breath holding on inspiration are the main stimulators of CO ₂ accumulation in the blood. The author obtained positive results from the treatment of diseases of the pulmonary system (asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.).

The disadvantages of the method:

- at the stage of treatment in patients there is the so-called "body cleansing", which is accompanied by prolonged and serious diseases;

- sick people have difficulty mastering this method;

- obviously inadequate supply of oxygen to the body;

- with prolonged treatment in this way, dystrophy of the respiratory system occurs due to the lack of load on it.

Even the opponent of deep breathing, professor Mishustin Yu.N. in his book "Breaking the impasse. Physiology corrects the mistakes of medicine" (2012), he writes: "A rather long-willed violence against oneself causes a constant desire to take a deep breath deeply," not everyone can withstand such torment. "

A highly respected scientist professor Nishi believes that if little oxygen is ingested, the natural balance between carbon dioxide and oxygen is upset. The body begins to produce poisons, including oxalic acid. With a low oxygen content in the body, bacteria multiply intensively, which cause many diseases.

Another method of shallow breathing, developed by a team of scientists led by academician N. Agadzhanyan, is devoid of many of the above disadvantages. It is described in the book cited above, written by Mishustin Yu.N. Its rationale is given in the following patents: No. 2133629, 1998; No. 2177334, 2000; No. 21118547, 2008

The team of authors developed the Samozdrav device, which has been mass-produced since 1998. The essence of the method is to achieve a normal CO ₂ content by inhaling from a Samozdrav device a mixture of atmospheric air with a CO ₂ content _of 0.03% and expired air with a CO ₂ content _of about 3% Due to the stepwise increase in the volume of the mixer, the content of CO ₂ in the inhaled mixture gradually increases.

A quiet inhalation and exhalation of air from the Samozdrav apparatus is carried out using ordinary shallow breathing once or twice a day for 20 minutes. The duration of treatment in this way is at least 5 months (up to 10 months). During this period, the content of CO ₂ reaches a normal value (6.0-6.5%). It has been experimentally proved that breathing through the Samozdrav apparatus can cure many diseases.

The disadvantages of the method:

- superficial shallow breathing, which is characterized by an insufficient supply of oxygen to the body and a small vital capacity of the lungs, which in older people, due to a sedentary lifestyle and shallow breathing, decreases from 4 liters characteristic of young people to an average of 2 liters;

- performing breathing exercises using the Samozdrav apparatus in a sitting position - usually in front of the TV - and the lack of muscular work during breathing exercises impairs the absorption of oxygen by the body and the removal of toxins from the cells of the body. This causes an increased salivation or dry mouth, lacrimation, frequent urination, loose stools, and sometimes an increase in blood pressure at the beginning of a workout for one to two weeks.

Thus, both with deep breathing according to the method of Indian yogis and with shallow shallow breathing, certain shortcomings were revealed. The “Deep breathing method” developed by me (RF patent No. 2601101 with a priority of June 8, 2015), which eliminates the above disadvantages, is taken as a prototype.

The prototype uses the basic principles of deep breathing, used by Indian yogis and Professor Niches, which provide a fairly effective supply of oxygen to the body. However, significant changes were made to their methodology, including:

- in addition to full and purifying breathing, upper and lower breathing were used as independent exercises. As the author’s measurements showed after three months of training, the volume of inhaled air with a deep breath during the execution of upper and lower breathing is 3.2 liters in each type of breath. This indicator does not differ much from the volume of inhaled air with full deep breathing (3.5 l). The full use of lower and upper breathing allows you to more fully use the alveoli in the upper and lower parts of the lungs and increase the vital capacity of the lungs (VC) to the indicated values, as well as improve the supply of oxygen to the body;

- instead of one physical exercise performed by yogis between full and cleansing breathing, a set of exercises was used before performing breathing exercises and a set of physical exercises after breathing exercises allowed to include the main muscles of the person, thereby more actively and fully absorbing the blood coming into them oxygen;

- to increase the content of carbon dioxide in the blood, a method was developed and applied to hold air in the lungs for 5-20 seconds after a deep breath at all stages of breathing;

- measurements of the content of carbon dioxide in the blood using a capnometer showed that after three months of training, the content of carbon dioxide in the blood from the usual 4% increased to 6%. This made it possible to increase the blood vessel cross section by 1.5 times and improve the blood supply to all organs, which positively affected the author’s health.

The disadvantages of the described method are:

- insufficient number of effective physical exercises to massage the internal organs in the abdominal region (stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc.) susceptible to diseases, which did not allow the full use of deep breathing to more significantly improve their blood supply;

- lack of special exercises for the eyes. It is known that at the age of 70-80 years the number of patients with cataracts, glaucoma, retinal dystrophy and other eye diseases increases to 80-90%. Marina Ilyinskaya in her book “The method of restoring vision of Ilyinskaya” (M., 2014), when analyzing the above three eye diseases, indicates that one of the main causes of these diseases is their insufficient blood supply;

- lack of special exercises and massage for the head. Meanwhile, in old age people often suffer from dizziness, constant tinnitus, headaches, malaise when changing weather, as well as from hair loss;

- not enough exercises for the joints of the legs, arms and spine, which are especially susceptible to diseases in the elderly.

In the proposed method, along with slightly corrected justified physical exercises, new physical exercises are introduced to massage the internal organs of the abdominal cavity, head, as well as exercises for the eyes, the hallmark of which is their performance during breathing exercises, as well as additional physical exercises for the joints of the hands , legs, neck and spine.

The technical result of the proposed method of deep intermittent breathing is to increase the vital capacity of the lungs, optimize the content of carbon dioxide in the blood, improve blood supply to the internal organs of the abdominal cavity, head and eyes, improve health and exclude a number of drugs.

The specified technical result is achieved by the following developments:

- Improving the blood supply to the internal organs of the abdominal cavity is achieved by strong vibration (massage) of both the internal organs themselves and the muscles surrounding them due to the strong frequent shocks of the lower diaphragm on them during intermittent breaths and exhalations of air at all stages of breathing;

- Improving the blood supply to the eyes is ensured by the introduction of new exercises, which are carried out during air retention on inspiration with upper, lower and complete intermittent breathing. Possible eye fatigue is completely removed during exhalation and inhalation by closing the eyelids of the eyes to rest;

- Improving the blood supply to the head is achieved through the use of exercises on the neck through which the arteries pass into the brain, as well as massage exercises for the head, which are performed during air retention with full breathing;

- ensuring the optimal content of carbon dioxide in the blood is achieved by optimizing the delay time of the air and performing a large number of exercises, including during the delay of air by inspiration.

In view of the foregoing, it is proposed to perform physical and breathing exercises in the following order in the morning before meals.

1. Exercise while lying down and sitting in bed.

Starting position: the head rests on an orthopedic pillow, eliminating unwanted compression of the arteries on the neck. Initially, exercises are performed on the arms and legs in order to “start the heart” after a night's rest in order to ensure reliable blood supply to the main muscles of the body and organs in further exercises.

- rubbing the fingers 20-25 times each finger, starting from the tips of the fingers to the base;

- rotation of the hands first one, then the other side 30-40 times;

- quick compression of the fingers into a fist and their release (40-50 times);

- tilt the feet forwards, then backward (30-40 times);

- inclinations of the feet in different directions (30-40 times);

- exercise "bike" (30 seconds);

- rubbing the abdomen with a palm around the navel (40-50 times);

- maximum retraction of the rectum and colon inward for training and strengthening the muscles of the rectum and colon and massage of internal organs;

- lying on the right side, rub the vertebral muscles on the left side with the side of the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, clenched into a fist (60-80 times). Then turn on your left side and repeat massage of the paravertebral muscles on the right side;

- remove the pillow from under the head, put two palms under one’s neck, folded one on top of the other, and at a fast pace turn your head left and right and at the same fast pace turn your feet to the left and right (120 seconds);

- raise your arms and legs up and shake them for 120 seconds with a break for rest after the first 60 seconds. After completing this exercise, rest your head on the orthopedic pillow;

- activation of the palms of the hands and biologically active points located on them by intensively and quickly rubbing against each other for 60 seconds;

- intensive rubbing by the palms of the hands of the face from the chin to the scalp from the bottom upwards (60 times);

- raise the left leg and press it for 2-4 seconds to the chest, lower the leg and perform another 8-10 such exercises on the left and right leg; then repeat the exercise simultaneously on two legs;

- intense transverse rubbing of the face with the palms of the hands from the nose to the ears and forehead from its middle to the ears;

- sitting on the edge of the bed, perform exercises on the neck, for which tilt your head to the left and to the right. Repeat the exercise 20-25 times, then 20-25 times tilt your head to the chest and back. After a short pause, repeat these exercises.

2. Respiratory and physical exercises.

There are 3 main breathing exercises: upper, lower and full breathing. Respiratory exercises for each type of breathing are carried out by deep intermittent inhalation until the lungs are completely filled, breath holding on inhalation is performed while one physical exercise is performed for the eyes or head and the subsequent intermittent complete exhalation of air from the lungs.

A complete intermittent inhalation is carried out through the nose for 5-7 times. At the stages of upper and lower respiration, inspiration is carried out respectively to the upper and lower parts of the lungs, and at the stage of complete breathing, first 3 intermittent inspirations into the lower part of the lungs are performed, and then 2-4 intermittent inspirations into the upper part of the lungs. Intermittent sharp breaths allow you to more fully fill the existing alveoli and reveal adhering alveoli, which makes it possible to increase the vital capacity of the lungs.

Holding the breath on inhalation is carried out for 10-20 seconds. In this case, any one physical exercise is performed for the eyes or head. Holding your breath provides extra carbon dioxide to your bloodstream. For the eyes to prevent fatigue from exercise, rest is provided by closing the eyelids during each exhalation and inhalation of air.

Exhalation of air after its delay in inhalation is carried out for 12-18 seconds by sharp intermittent exhalations through tightly compressed lips. Each exhalation is less than one second. It is proposed to carry out 3 cycles of each physical exercise for the eyes and head.

2.1 upper respiration

2 physical exercises for the eyes are performed sequentially during an air delay of 10-20 seconds for 3 cycles, including:

- blinking eyes;

- the movement of the apples of the eyes from a lower position to an extremely upper position and vice versa. The duration of one movement of the apple eye here and below is about 1 second.

2.2 Lower breath

4 physical exercises are performed sequentially during air retention after a lower breath for 10-20 seconds in each cycle, including:

- the movement of eyeballs from a central position to the left and back;

- the movement of eyeballs from a central position to the right and back;

- the movement of the eye apples to the left obliquely at an angle of 45 ° and in the opposite direction;

- the movement of the eye apples to the right obliquely at an angle of 45 ° and in the opposite direction.

2.3 Full breath

Perform 2 physical exercises for the eyes and 2 physical exercises for the head during breath holding after a full breath for 10-20 seconds, including:

- circular movements of the apples of the eyes clockwise;

- circular movements of the apples of the eyes counterclockwise;

- strong and quick tapping with the fingertips of the left and right hands on the scalp from the forehead to the crown and back, then to the neck and back;

- strong and quick tapping with the fingertips of the left and right hands, respectively, of the left and right temporal parts of the head from the bottom of the temples to the crown of the head and back.

- The last two exercises are performed sitting on the edge of the bed.

3. Standing exercise

After performing physical exercises lying in bed and sitting, as well as breathing exercises, the body can be loaded with more labor-intensive physical exercises in a standing position. The following exercises are suggested:

- raise the heels of the legs and sharply lower them to the floor (60 times);

- step back from the wall to a distance of 30-50 cm and perform 40-50 repulsions of the body from the wall with the help of hands;

- rotation of the shoulder joints clockwise and counterclockwise 20-25 times;

- put your feet at shoulder level, raise your right hand up and tilt it together with the body to the left 20-25 times, then lower your right hand, raise your left hand and tilt it together with the body to the right as many times;

- rotation of the pelvis of the body clockwise, and then against it 20-25 times;

- standing and leaning with one hand on the table, do swings with one and then with the other foot 20-25 times;

- pick up dumbbells weighing 1 kg, lift them vertically up and then lower them down to the shoulders (20-30 times);

- Perform 40-50 squats.

When mastering these exercises, you need to start with fewer exercises.

4. The results of medical gymnastics

The most important result of the developed therapeutic exercises is the improvement of blood supply and the normal supply of oxygen to all body cells. This is facilitated by performing a variety of physical exercises before, during, and after breathing exercises, since working muscles are more susceptible to oxygenation and more need them.

In this case, an equally important result is the simultaneous reliable removal of toxins from the cells of the body, which prevents the formation of stagnant zones of blood and lymph in the organs and tissues of a person and the occurrence of various diseases for this reason.

To increase the effectiveness of deep breathing, a new method of intermittent inhalation and exhalation at all stages of breathing is proposed, which allows more complete filling of the alveoli and the lungs in general.

Performing jerky intermittent inspirations and exhalations allows you to quickly and quickly move the diaphragm up and down, causing vibrations in the internal organs of the abdominal cavity and in the muscles surrounding them, which contributes to a significant improvement in the blood supply to these organs and ensures the prevention of their disease. In addition, the use of intermittent breathing at the stage of inhalation and exhalation with upper and complete breathing causes vibration of the intercostal and intracostal muscles, the ribs themselves, and the external membranes of the lungs and heart, which improves their blood supply.

In this application, much attention is paid to improving the blood supply to the brain, which consumes about 25% of the blood circulating through arteries. So, along with the two massage exercises on the face already available in the prototype, new exercises on the neck (tilting the head to the left, right, forward) were introduced, which improve the blood supply to the neck through which the arteries pass to feed the brain and eye area. This is also facilitated by massage exercises on the surface of the head, carried out during air delays in inspiration with full breathing.

The blood supply to the eyes is significantly improved due to the introduction of a large number of exercises performed during breath holding on inhalation with upper, lower and full breathing. Previously, these exercises were performed by me independently of breathing exercises, but this required additional time.

The combination of respiratory and visual gymnastics in the present invention has reduced the total time of morning exercises and make visual exercises more effective. Over the past 3 months, during which I used the developed gymnastics, measurements by an ophthalmologist showed that I had practically no cataracts and improved vision, and normal eye pressure was also observed, although earlier I suggested surgery on my left eye due to cataracts, and then on right eye due to glaucoma. Thanks to the developed visual and physical exercises, both operations were avoided.

Much attention is paid to strengthening physical exercises in a standing position. Introduced additional exercises with dumbbells, alternate swing movements with legs, rotation of the pelvic area of the body. Increased the number of pushbacks from the wall from 15-20 to 40-50 and the number of squats from 20-30 to 40-50.

Standing exercises are especially important for the lower body (joints of the legs, pelvic region, etc.), as they help prevent or treat stagnant venous blood and lymph in the legs, prostate gland, urinary system, and reproductive system that are often observed in older people. sphere and in other bodies.

As a result of mastering deep intermittent breathing in combination with physical exercises for 3 months, the lung vital volume (VC) was increased to 3.5 liters with upper and lower breathing and up to 3.8 liters with full breathing. In ordinary shallow breathing, it usually does not exceed 2 liters in people over 60 years of age. The values of VC that are close in magnitude in the lower, upper, and complete respiration indicate that the entire lung volume is practically involved in upper and lower respiration. It is of interest to compare the data of Professor Beggar and the actual data on complete breathing. If Niche, with full breathing, the initial lower breath is 30% of the vital capacity of the lungs, then after three intermittent lower breaths in this application, their volume is 60% of the total volume of inhaled air with full breathing, which also confirms the advantage of intermittent breathing.

The use of intermittent breathing made it possible to increase the carbon dioxide content in the blood to 6.2% and thereby ensure a stable increase in the cross section of arteries by more than 1.5 times. Measurements were carried out using a capnometer included in the Samozdrav kit. The respiratory rate is 8 per minute instead of the usual 12-16 in the elderly.

Mastering intermittent breathing allowed me to stabilize my normal health. My blood pressure is normal, dizziness, shortness of breath, tinnitus and heart pain are not present, although these painful phenomena have been observed for a long time after my illnesses with myocarditis, second degree hypertension and stroke (2004). The joints and spine do not hurt, the gastrointestinal tract works well, memory and performance are also good. This made it possible to abandon many drugs and increase the load in morning exercises.
