Improved lung capacity: Bellows breath can help to increase the capacity of the lungs, which can improve the efficiency of the respiratory system.
Improved digestion: Bellows breath can stimulate the digestive system and help to improve the digestion process.

Increased metabolism: Bellows breath can increase the metabolism, which can help to burn calories and promote weight loss.
Reduced stress and anxiety: Bellows breath can be used as a form of stress relief, by releasing tension and promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.
