Mindful breathing not only increases oxygen in the blood but can also reduce depression and improve mood swings.
Experts now insist that just five minutes of breathing exercise a day can produce positive results in a short period and can significantly reduce depression.
Scientists from Stanford University gave 108 people breathing exercises for a month, which, according to experts, have been proven to be more effective than meditation. They even have the same effect as antidepressants.
Dr. Andrew Huberman, the lead scientist involved in the research conducted on 108 people by Stanford University, stated that five minutes of daily breathing exercises is a great free tip if you want to sleep peacefully, reduce stress from the day’s routine, and avoid depression. The breathing exercises, according to the experts, are ‘very effective and targeted, and powerful’.
