With Acupuncture, Patients with COPD No Longer Need to Visit the Emergency Department
The lungs are a pair of respiratory organs situated either side of the thoracic cavity of the chest. The left lung has two lobes and the right has three. A human being's lungs have approximately 500 million pulmonary alveoli. To increase the vital capacity, a phrase that is commonly talked about, in fact means to increase the elasticity of the pulmonary alveoli. Although the lungs are considered to be "delicate organs", they can be strengthened through workout. Aerobic exercises are specifically beneficial for the lungs. Carbon dioxide generated during exercises will stimulate the respiratory center, which will then enable rapid breathing. In return, the vital capacity will be increased and the pulmonary alveoli will become elastic.
