    Breathing exercises can enhance respiratory health by improving ventilation, strengthening respiratory muscles, and reducing stress. Two such exercises are purse lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing. Purse lip breathing involves slow nasal inhalation and pursed lip exhalation for 10 minutes. Diaphragmatic breathing involves abdominal breathing where the stomach moves out during inhalation. Coughing exercises like controlled coughing and huffing are also important for clearing airways and preventing infection for those with respiratory disorders. Controlled coughing involves forward leaning and coughing 2-3 times, while huffing uses deep breathing and forceful exhaling with a "huff" sound.
