Practicing the technique of deep breathing is one of the best ways to improve your overall health.

Five results and benefits of deep breathing are as follows:

● Your muscles are able to relax by deep breathing. When you’re deep breathing, you don’t experience physical tension because all your muscles will relax. As well, your muscles will then perform at their best ability because of their increased relaxed state.

● Oxygen delivery throughout your body improves with the practice of deep breathing. When you deep breathe your whole body relaxes; therefore, when you breathe you will notice a difference in the quality of breath. Fresh oxygen is flowing throughout your body cells consequently enhancing the functionality of your body systems, physical stamina, and mental concentration.

● Your blood pressure lowers when you practice deep breathing. When you practice deep breathing, your muscle will let go of any tension and your blood pressure will return to normal, hence the lowering of your blood pressure.

● Endorphins are released as well when you’re deep breathing. This is because practicing deep breathing provides pain-relief and improves feelings of well-being. This then triggers the release of endorphins.

Healthcare experts believe that deep breathing exercises remains a foundational step that will manage your life’s stresses. When you take short quick breaths, it leads to perspiration, tightening muscles, and rapid heartbeat; therefore, your body will feel all sorts of pain and negative emotions when exposed to stressful situations. As well, when you experience anxiety your body produces cortisol and adrenaline that cause short breaths and rapid heartbeat. Therefore, by practicing deep breathing techniques, you can manage your anxiety and stop yourself from having shortness of breath and increased heartbeat.
