What is a woman's lung capacity?

We all know that vital capacity is the simplest way to test lung function. However, due to gender and age differences, the normal standards of vital capacity for different people are different. Women's vital capacity is weaker than men. If the vital capacity is too low, it is particularly easy to cause shortness of breath and brain hypoxia, which is particularly detrimental to health. We must master the method and make timely adjustments. Let's take a look at the women's vital capacity.

What is a woman's lung capacity?

The average lung capacity of adults is 3500-4000 ml for men and 2500-3500 ml for women. People who regularly participate in sports can reach more than 5000 ml. Lung capacity decreases with age. Generally speaking, the older you are, the smaller your lung capacity is.

Improvement methods

Based on scientific research and the practical experience of centenarians, these tips can help older people increase their lung capacity.

Chest expansion exercise: Do chest expansion and chest stretching exercises 50 times twice a day, preferably after getting up and before going to bed, which can effectively prevent a decrease in lung capacity.

Stand up straight: If you maintain the correct posture of keeping your head up, chest out, and back straight for a long time, your lung capacity can increase by 5% to 20%, and the amount of oxygen obtained by various tissues in the body will also increase accordingly. Keeping your chest up can also enhance your brain's memory.

Walking in water: If you can't swim, it is recommended to walk in water at a certain speed, and the water depth should preferably be above the waist. Fast once for 15 minutes, rest for 5 minutes, walk for 10 minutes, rest for 5 minutes, and walk for 15 minutes again. Practice twice a week for significant results.

Sing your voice: Singing is also a good way to increase your lung capacity. The beautiful melody of the song can make people intoxicated and forget their worries; when singing, one should pay attention to regulating the energy and mind, and breathe evenly and deeply, which is beneficial to the body and mind.

Eat apples often: Researchers at the University of Nottingham in the UK found that apples and tomatoes are most helpful in helping the human body breathe more smoothly. Eating at least 5 apples or 3 tomatoes a week can significantly improve lung function. At the same time, eating bananas regularly will not cause breathing difficulties

The above is an introduction to women's lung capacity. After understanding it, you will not be too nervous and anxious when doing a lung capacity test. In addition, if female friends have low lung capacity in their daily lives, they must do more physical exercise and breathing exercises, and pay attention to nutritional balance in their diet.
