MBB 56: Mind Body Breakthroughs-Breath Hold Challenge

How long you can hold your breath is a measure of metanolic, cardiovascular, cellular, and mitochondrial health. Breathing exercises and breath hold have been a part of ancient heaing traditions for thousands of years, and science confirms its many benefits. Holding your breath activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest, digest, repair) through vagus nerve stimulation, mammalian dive reflex, and more. It induces a relaxed Alpha brain. Breath hold delivers cardiovascular benefits through reduced heart rate, blood vessel dilation, release of red blood cells from the spleen, and more. Practiced regularly, breath holding can boost mood & cognitive function, improve cardiovascular health, strengthen the immune system, increase lung capactiy & sports performance, improves digestion, release stem cells for anti-aging and repair, increase mental strength, and is a natural decongestant, and more!
