WAITING TO EXHALE

Did you know that most of us take between 12 to 18 breathes per minute.
Research concludes that slowing down our breathing rate to as little as six breaths per minute can reduce short term physical pain.
A study conducted by Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona discovered some amazing things. People who halved their breathing rate had a higher pain threshold than those breathing normally. It's is believed that slow breathing helps to regulate the sympathetic nervous system, calming your nerves. Consider this next time you go to the dentist!
