BREATH HOLDING as a DOWN REGULATOR | Oxygen Advantage & Functional Breathing

breath-holding breathing functional breathing nervous system regulation oxygen advantage® Oct 11, 2022

Strong breath holds can be great for certain individuals. Strong breath holds can be amazingly beneficial. But strong breath holds can also be considered a stressor exercise, and for that reason, they are not right for everyone.

Luckily, we can modify our breath holds to also be down-regulators. By using mini-breath holds or medium breath holds, you can actually stimulate the vagus nerve, elicit vasodilation and bronchodilation, and truly calm the nervous system. Mild to moderate breath holds are much more appropriate for specific demographics.
