I just read in an article that blowing balloon is good for your heart..It is said that it increases the pumping of the heart and thus is good for heart..Is this true? Have you heard anything like this that blowing balloon is good for your heart?

It improves the Lung capacity a lot. I was smoking for almost 6 years . SInce I have stopped smoking. I felt my lungs are so week. Blowing ballons would get your Lungs back to shape.

Yes this is true, blowing up a baloon helps increase your lung power and that helps get oxigen into the blood which feeds all the muscle groups.

oh..It would really be very hard for you to blow continuously..But I think it would be a good exercise for your lungs too..

I think it is good exercise for the lungs and all the blowing helps to get more oxygen into the blood stream, so I don't think there is any harm in that. But just don't get a heart attack if the balloon pops

As far as I know I didn't really think it makes a difference at all. But I guess it does. Thanks for sharing that out. :) I'll blow more. =]

I would imagine that it is a good exercise for the lungs but I have never heard before reading your discussion that it is good for the heart. I hope it is. Take care.

I also heard this blowing balloon is good for heart. My FIL was told me when they were live blowing balloon every year when Janma Ashtimi celebrated Lord Krishnas birthday.
