Normal range of vital capacity for girls

The health of lung function has always been a concern for everyone, because the lungs are very important organs that can maintain our normal breathing. Many people have problems with their lung function, which can cause suffocation and difficulty breathing, and even need to rely on oxygen to breathe all year round, which is very painful. What is the normal range of female lung capacity? Not only that, in our country there is also a correct distinction in the ratio of normal lung function for men and women.

Vital capacity index = vital capacity ÷ body surface area

Body area = 0.0061*height (cm) + 0.0128*weight (kg) - 0.1329

Adults in my country: 2310 for males and 1800 for females. Those below this value indicate weak respiratory function.

Vital capacity refers to the amount of air that a person can exhale after taking a deep breath, which represents the maximum functional activity of the lungs. Vital capacity is the maximum ventilation volume of a breath, which reflects the potential capacity of the respiratory function in a certain sense.

Generally speaking, the healthier a person is, the greater their lung capacity. In terms of age, the lung capacity of middle-aged people is the largest, while that of young and old people is smaller.

People who exercise more often have greater lung capacity.

Can be improved through exercise~

Long-distance runners and swimmers have greater lung capacity.

Improve your lung capacity with the correct breathing method

Oxygen cannot be stored in the body, and people must breathe in fresh air constantly. Therefore, breathing has a great impact on health. Yet most people only use one-third of their lung capacity. According to the results of the 2000 National Physical Fitness Monitoring released by the State General Administration of Sport and the Ministry of Education, the vital capacity of men aged 40 to 69 decreased from 3347.2 ml to 2441.3 ml, and that of women decreased from 2362.3 ml to 1761.6 ml, a decrease of 28% and 26% respectively. The decrease in lung capacity causes people to develop a variety of diseases that affect lung health in old age, such as bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, as well as pulmonary embolism related to lung function deterioration, pulmonary fibrosis, lung tumors, etc. More importantly, once these lung diseases are combined with other diseases, the mortality rate is very high. Therefore, we should actively perform breathing exercises to exercise our lungs, increase our lung capacity, make full use of our lung capacity, supply more oxygen to the blood, and make us more energetic. Below are some healthy breathing methods. You may want to do them frequently to exercise and improve your lung capacity.

1. Take a deep breath. Begin by breathing in slowly through your nostrils, filling the lower part of your lungs with air. During inhalation, the abdomen will slowly bulge as the chest cavity lifts upward and the diaphragm moves downward. Then continue to inhale so that the upper part of the lungs is also filled with air. At this time, the ribs will rise and the chest cavity will expand. This process usually takes 5 seconds. Finally hold your breath for 5 seconds. After a period of practice, you can increase the breath-holding time to 10 seconds or even more. After the lungs have absorbed enough oxygen, they exhale slowly, and the ribs and chest cavity gradually return to their original positions. After pausing for one or two seconds, start again from the beginning and repeat for 10 minutes. After practicing for a long time, it can become a normal breathing method.

2. Breathe quietly. Press your right nostril with your right thumb, and take a slow, deep breath through your left nostril, consciously imagining that the air is flowing toward your forehead. When your lungs are saturated with air, press your left nostril with the index and middle fingers of your right hand, hold your breath for 10 seconds and then exhale. Then start again by holding the left nostril. Do 5 times on each side.

3. Sleep breathing. Doing this breathing exercise before going to bed is especially effective for people with insomnia. Lie on the bed, place your hands flat on both sides of your body, close your eyes and start taking deep breaths. Slowly raise your arms above your head, close to your ears, with your fingers touching the headboard. This process takes about 10 seconds, and both arms are restored at the same time, and repeated 10 times. This method can help you fall asleep peacefully.

3. Exercise and breathe. Actively increase your breathing volume while walking or jogging, inhale slowly and exhale quickly. When inhaling slowly, slowly expand your chest as you inhale, and exhale quickly. Do not exercise less than 20 times each time, several times a day. (Han Zhenkui)
