Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? At Longev Clinic, we know how daily life can take a toll on your body and mind. Simple practices like breath work and heart coherence can help reset your nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve focus.
How Breath work Restores Nervous System Balance
Breath work is more than just deep breathing—it activates your parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for rest, recovery, and overall balance. Practicing for just 2–5 minutes daily can:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve focus and mental clarity
- Support emotional well-being
A practical way to start:
- Take slow, deep breaths
- Notice the depth and length of your inhale and exhale
- Extend your exhale to promote relaxation
- Try coherence breathing to improve heart rate variability.
