OK, so I have asthma, and I'm always looking for ways to improve my breathing.
I read somewhere that singing can increase your lung capacity, and help you breathe better.
I decided to try it, thinking it couldn't hurt.

So today, I'm sitting, working on the computer, and just singing away, not really paying attention.
And then, I realized what I was singing.

Out of all the songs I know, from 58 years of listening to music, what song comes out first?

"Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, ninety nine bottles of beer..."

You should try drinking beet juice.(if the idea appeals to you) It has great healing properties on the lung tissue.

did you notice any difference in your breathing after singing?? i would be interested to know if it works or not my daughter has just found out her problem with breathing is asthma ??

I honestly don't know if it works or not, BATISTAGIRL663, but I figured it can't hurt. 
It's not an instant thing, but over time, I can see it helping.
Deep breathing also helps.

That's funny!  Hope it helps

Sounds like it could work.  Have you tried yoga breathing exercises?  I also hear thyme helps open the throat.

I suppose that is a pretty easy song to remember.  Good luck with the technique.

That is so funny!  I hope it helps with your breathing; I bet it will help with picking you up!

Keep us informed.  I don't think it could hurt.  I have a couple of people in my family with asthma.  So if it works I will have them try.

That is a funny one. I wonder why your mind decided to pick that one. Maybe you were thinking about having a cold one. Now that is a good thought! BMaston12

Hahaha nice song. Next time you can sing the song Sweet Home Alabama. I love that song. My son has asthma also and he sings a lot. Also good to know that it is actually helping him, now I will not say son time out on the signing. I will let him chime away along with his silly lil dances.

Interesting, hope it is working.

I used to listen to Sweet Home Alabama a lot, and sing along. With a voice like mine, it's helps if the music's loud. Haha
