5 In, 5 Out

Written By Aubrey Thorne

6 Breaths/minute = good “slow-breathing” pace

 

Why do we care? What does slow-breathing do for you?

  • Reduces stress & anxiety

  • Reduces depression

  • Strengthens immune system

  • Decreases pain

  • Balances energy levels (increases!)

  • Reduces blood pressure

  • Helps fat burning (!)

Bottom line: it's GOOD for your body & mind! Do it. 

 

(By the way, have you used the “Mindfulness” app on your iPhone? You can set it an Apple Watch to remind you and take you through a 1-5 min slow-breathing session a few times a day.)
