It might seem a bit ludicrous, but yes, being vocal at sports games, whether at home or at the game, breathing deep is good for you. That is why laughter is so good for you. For one thing, it releases endorphins, and the next thing is that it helps a person take deep breaths. Breathing deep helps in healing the body. It allows more oxygen into the system for your hemoglobin to circulate in the body. Good circulation and good oxygenation assist in healing. That is why when someone has surgery, shortly after surgery the Respiratory Therapist shows up with that Incentive Spirometer to make you take deep breaths. I helps prevent pneumonia and promotes healing. Breathing deeply also relieves stress. If you have ever heard anyone tell someone, "Calm down and take a deep breath". That is actually medically correct.
So cheering at those football games...yelling at the TV....you can now tell everyone that you are doing it for good health and better breathing!!
Life is good. Breathe Deep!!
