I agree with this. There are a series of breathing exercises that used to be done in GB, and my pediatrician got ahold of them and had me do them. This would have been in the early 60's. Now I know them to be based on yoga. It really does help to do this kind of thing, and also to get fresh air. Not only does it build lung capacity, but there are some wastes that we need to expell from our lungs- just eat garlic and see how the smell comes out of the lungs!

When I had pleurisy after surgery once, I had to do breathing exercises in the hospital. It was very painful, but it is necessary to force the air down into the entire lung to heal. It also promotes lung health in general.

Deborah one good way is to practice deep breathing. As deep as you comfortable breathe in, hold for a few seconds, then exhale, hold for a few seconds. Do this at least 10 times in one session, three times a day. You will be surprised how much more capacity and lung clarity you can build in a short time. It also helps with lessening pain and preventing pneumonia when sick in bed. It will also lower high blood pressure!
