The Lungs

​Today’s fun facts are about the lungs.
Your left lung is made up of 2 lobes and is slightly smaller than the 3 lobes of the right lung, in order to accommodate the heart.
On average, adults take between 12 and 20 breaths per minute, and breathes around 11,000 litres of air each day.
In reflexology your lungs are located on the balls of your feet. Working this area can help reduce stress and tension. When feeling stressed or anxious, it is common for breathing to become rapid and shallow. Reducing stress helps to slow the breathing rate and get a better volume of air into the lungs.
Good lung function helps the organs of the body function efficiently with oxygen-rich blood.
