MED2028 (SENT ON BEHALF OF DR. KAUSHAL NANAVATI) -- Weekly Wellness PEARL

[Barbara Glover]

Good morning,

Each weekly message includes a technique that can support your well-being and is grounded in scientific evidence and practical application.  Incorporating these strategies into your daily routine can significantly enhance your overall health and wellness.

Breathwork

  *   Scientific Evidence: Breath-focused practices like deep breathing and box breathing reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels.
     *   Reference: Brown, R. P., & Gerbarg, P. L. (2009). Yoga breathing, meditation, and longevity. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1172, 54-62.
  *   Daily Implementation:
     *   4-7-8 breathing before exams.
     *   5-minute midday breathing session.
     *   Evening breathwork for relaxation.

Have a great day!
