Most tips and methods to lose weight usually involve two essential things: a healthy and balanced diet, and activities that involve significant energy expenditure. If you are one of the people who can not improve the quality of their diet and practice regular physical activity, it is possible to join the followers of the technique of the famous Japanese actor Miki Ryosuke and try the "breathing diet".
What is the "respiratory diet"?
The name of this diet can be misleading, in fact, it has nothing to do with how you manage your diet. This Japanese method is to inhale and exhale while keeping your body in a precise position and you're done! According to Ryosuke, doing these two-minute exercises every day has the ability to make you lose weight fast.
The Japanese celebrity says that breathing by following this trick helped him lose 24 pounds in just 50 days. And this happened by accident since, apparently, the Japanese actor suffered a back injury that forced him to practice these breathing exercises to relieve the pain he felt.

According to the actor, the "breathing diet" can help you lose weight naturally by breathing in the air for a long time and deeply two to five minutes a day by inhaling for a long time and then exhaling for seven seconds while contracting all the muscles of your body. body.
In fact, this is not the first time that a breathing-based diet has emerged. Jill Johnson, author of the book Oxycise, was behind a similar program for weight loss. Jill explained that with these techniques the weight loss is done through the reaction that occurs between the oxygen and the fat stored in the body, which allows the combustion of the latter.
In other words, the fat is composed of oxygen, carbon and hydrogen, and when the oxygen that comes from the respiration reaches the stored fat molecules, it breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Then the blood absorbs the excess carbon dioxide and transports it to the lungs to be expelled when we exhale. In this way, the more oxygen is used by the body, the more it burns body fat.
In fact, researchers at the University of Hampton conducted a study that showed that yoga and deep breathing exercises helped teenagers lose weight. The results revealed that the participants were able to lose 3 kilos, without restriction of daily caloric intake.
