Episode notes
Oxygen is essential for human function, particularly for brain health. Insufficient oxygen delivery can lead to heightened brain cell excitability, which increases anxiety and affects mental clarity. Breathing patterns significantly influence blood flow to the brain; improper techniques such as mouth breathing, often linked to asthma, can lead to other health issues like sleep apnea, further exacerbating mental health challenges. Awareness of the role of proper breathing techniques has increased, highlighting that even slight variations in breathing—like faster, upper chest breathing—can be prevalent among those with anxiety disorders. Understanding and practicing correct breathing is crucial for maintaining mental health and overall well-being.
