Some researchers believe that overcoming stress and depression may be as easy as breathing. Many studies have been done to test the effect of slow and steady breathing on the body. Scientists have found that people who practice breathing meditation on a regular basis are able to lower their stress hormones and cytokines that have an adverse effect on the body. So, the next time you feel stressed, just practice some deep breathing to help calm yourself.

Key Takeaways:

  • Controlled breathing, like what you just practiced, has been shown to reduce stress, increase alertness and boost your immune system.
  • For centuries yogis have used breath control, or pranayama, to promote concentration and improve vitality.
  • Buddha advocated breath-meditation as a way to reach enlightenment.
