Benefits of Coherent Breathing

Coherent breathing, practiced for 20 minutes daily, can lead to reductions in blood pressure and heart rate variability. According to Dr. Allan Watkins, consistent practice over six months can reverse age-related decline in the heart, making it appear about ten years younger. This practice enhances oxygenation of tissues, activates sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, and improves overall heart health.
