1. Push your chin with your hands

Tilt your head back and take a deep breath. Lift your chest, put your palms together, and support your chin with your thumbs. Take a deep breath through your nose, and exhale through your mouth while pushing your chin up with your thumbs. After you have finished exhaling, take your hands off your chin and slowly return your neck to its original position.

Check! Teeth slightly clenched, movements relatively stable

Check! Keep your shoulders parallel, don't shrug

Point!

1. People with bent backs and necks, or those with stiff necks due to stress, have fragile airways and should not do this action.

2. People who smoke frequently will cough due to compression of the respiratory tract when they tilt their heads back, so it is recommended that they quit smoking.
