How to judge health status from breathing?

Respiratory frequency can also be used as one of the signs to test people's health. The method of measuring respiratory frequency is relatively simple:

Put your hand on the lower part of your chest and count the number of breaths and inspirations per minute. When calm, breathe 19-20 times per minute. During manual labor, breathing is obviously accelerated, reaching about 40 times per minute. However, in this case, people who exercise regularly breathe quite deeply and smoothly.

If you find that through regular exercise, your breath is getting longer and deeper, which is a good phenomenon. Short and shallow breathing during physical activity means the beginning of overwork and the need for rest.
