Stop Stressing Out and Start Breathing, Deeply
CNN Interview with Dr. Darshan Mehta (Harvard Osher Center)
What’s one thing you can do right now to stop stressing out? Start breathing deeply. Here’s why it works.
“When someone is anxious or stressed their breathing rate gets faster. Take some slow deep breaths” says Dr. Darshan Mehta in this interview with CNN Health.
Dr. Mehta explains that when you take slow, deep breaths “the rate of breathing actually goes down. We have a reduction in our blood pressure, we also have reduction in our heart rate”.
