Excess weight, particularly abdominal fat, directly restricts lung expansion. The diaphragm cannot fully descend when visceral fat pushes upward, reducing tidal volume and increasing the work of breathing.
Obese individuals have 20 to 30% lower functional residual capacity compared to normal-weight counterparts. Even 10% weight loss can significantly improve breathing comfort and exercise tolerance.
Reduced breathing capacity reduces exercise tolerance. Reduced exercise contributes to weight gain. Weight gain further restricts breathing. Breaking this cycle requires addressing both sides simultaneously.
Lungora is not a weight loss supplement. Our formula provides general wellness support. If weight is affecting your breathing, work with your physician on a comprehensive weight management plan.
