Do you know why you’re told to take a deep breath when you feel like being angry?
In the meeting of the American Psychosomatics Society, it was said that a deep breath can balance the neural system. So, it can help reducing the stress.
Besides, the deep breath as practiced in Yoga is scientifically proven to help you:
- Cure Insomnia - take a deep breath before sleeping to get a better night sleep.
- Reduce panic attack - a deep breath can help your brain get relaxed.
- Avoid asthma attack - a deep breath can make the carbondioxide exchange with oxygen in your lungs become more efficient. That way, you can get more oxygen.
- Stabilize your blood pressure - the muscles around your blood vessels will get more oxygen. That way, they get more relaxed. So, it helps reducing the pressure in your blood vessels.
If you don’t really like Yoga, simply try this simple exercise in between your activities:
Take a deep breath in the count of ten, flow the air to your abdomen, hold for a while, and exhale, also in the count of ten.
