Deep breathing is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools for better health. When you take slow, deep breaths, it increases oxygen flow to your brain and body. This not only relaxes your nervous system but also helps lower blood pressure and reduce stress hormones like cortisol.
Regular deep breathing exercises can improve focus, control anxiety, and even enhance sleep quality. Many doctors now recommend mindful breathing as part of daily health routines because it balances both mental and physical well-being — without any cost or equipment needed.
