How to Clear Your Lungs

Feel like you need a breath of fresh air? Read on to learn how to clear your lungs.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Lungs
• Space with clean air

1. The most important step in clearing your lungs is to make sure you are in an area with clean air. This means no smoke, no dust, nothing else likely to cause the new air you receive to be tainted.
2. Slowly take a deep breath through your nose to fill your lungs, and feel them filling and stretching out.
3. Slowly exhale through your mouth until you feel you have no more breath to exhale.
4. Immediately bend at the waist and roll the top half of your body forward to compress the lungs a bit. This will allow you to continue exhaling for another few seconds.
5. Straighten up and inhale slowly, filling up your lungs with fresh, clean air.
6. Exhale slowly, and then continue breathing normally.

Tips & Warnings

• Look around before inhaling; clean surroundings are essential.
• Do not attempt this if you have a cold, the hiccups, or anything else that might interrupt your breathing.
