New research into slow breathing shows that something remarkable happens in the body when the breath slows to around six breaths per minute. Studies published in journals like Circulation, Hypertension, and Clinical Autonomic Research show that this rhythm strengthens the baroreflex, one of the body’s key systems for stabilizing blood pressure and regulating the autonomic nervous system.
In this new post, I explore how this physiology works and why traditional breathing practices like Qigong may naturally engage this cardiovascular feedback system.
