Singing Relieve Chronic Lung Disease

In addition to making happy heart,
sing it also helps overcome the
problem of lung health. Those who
have lung problems, such as
chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) or bronchitis and
emphysema have been
recommended by doctors and
physiotherapists to join the choir
or singing group.

COPD can reduce lung function if it
is not addressed properly. People
with this condition usually have a
cough that will not go away
because the flow of air from the
lungs is inhibited. Additionally,

COPD patients also often
experience shortness of breath.
With singing will help relieve the
flow of air from the lungs.
However, singing is not just a
sound, but with breathing
techniques.

The vocal exercises can be done
while setting the respiratory
system. So, not the origin of
singing with loud noise or
screaming that it can be
exhausting breathing.

According to the British Lung
Foundation, singing can increase
lung capacity, breathing control,
and strengthen the muscles of the
respiratory system.

Dr Nicholas Hopkinson of Imperial
College London said, in a study of
400 people, those who regularly
practice singing had lung
conditions better.

Not only the health of the lungs,
according to Nicholas, singing at
the same time to reduce stress in
patients with lung disease. Join
the singing group to make them
socialize and increased
confidence.
