Food Items That Help Regulate Your Breathing Pattern

Did you know that certain food affects your breathing pattern adversely? How important is breathing? Since oxygen is required to chew and digest food, the lungs get an extra job to do while we eat. The more we eat heavy food in one sitting, the more crowded it becomes around the diaphragm and lungs. That, in turn, makes it difficult for a person to breathe. If you are searching for dishes that help you breathe easily, then you are at the right place.

This article consists of a curated list of the best three food items to help you with your breathing pattern. These items are easy to prepare and do not require any special ingredients.
