Summary
Box Breathing is a zero cost approach to adjusting your normal pattern of breathing at rest, which has numerous positive outcomes in terms of the ability to stay relatively calm and avoid hyper excitability of the brain. This exercise, done once or twice a week, can extend the carbon dioxide discard rate and therefore fall into a different category of long carbon dioxide discard rate category.

Summary
A study revealed that any breathwork practice done for five minutes a day is more effective in reducing stress around the clock compared to meditation. Researchers explored different forms of deliberate breathing to find the minimal effective doses to decrease stress levels, improve sleep and mood, and examined how breathwork affects the body and the brain.
