MED2029 (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.

Deep Breathing Exercises

  *   Scientific Evidence: Deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.
     *   Reference: Brown, R. P., & Gerbarg, P. L. (2005). Sudarshan Kriya Yogic breathing in the treatment of stress, anxiety, and depression: Part I-neurophysiologic model. Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 11(1), 189-201.
  *   Daily Implementation:
     *   Practice deep breathing for 5 minutes each morning.
     *   Use it during moments of stress.
     *   Practice before bed to promote relaxation.

Have a great day!
