breathing exercises

Breathing exercises are techniques used to improve respiratory function and promote relaxation. They involve conscious control of breath to enhance physical and mental well-being. Common practices include deep breathing, where you inhale slowly through the nose, allowing the abdomen to expand, and then exhale fully. This can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve focus. Other techniques include diaphragmatic breathing, where you engage the diaphragm more deeply, and methods like box breathing, which regulates the timing of inhalations and exhalations. Regular practice can lead to better lung capacity and increased mindfulness.
