4. Pranayama Takes Care of The Lungs

It trains you to voluntarily keep a hold over your breath which in turn maintains the isometric contraction of respiratory muscles.

Pranayama like Ujjayi breathing , which requires forceful respiration, increases respiratory endurance by acting on the respiratory muscles.
