Research Notes on Breathing Exercises Reduce High Blood Pressure
Researchers have found that by doing breathing exercises on a daily basis, it is possible to lower your high blood pressure.1 The U.S. FDA has approved the use of a medical device that helps people with high blood pressure to follow paced breathing exercises.1 Users of the device reported having their blood pressure lowered 10 to 15 points.1
Fast Facts:
