If nothing else, just breathe…

"Ok, well what’s the one thing that’s easy and cheap that I can do right now to improve my health?" The answer is simple: breathing into your belly. This technique activates your vagus nerve, which plays a key role in promoting relaxation and reducing stress. By consciously breathing deeply and slowly into your abdomen, you can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to lower heart rate, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. In this blog post, we’ll explore the connection between the vagus nerve and relaxation, and how you can use belly breathing to improve your health in just a few minutes a day.
