According to<a href=\"http:\/\/stress.org\"> the American Institute of Stress<\/a>, 20 to 30 minutes per day of \u201cbelly breathing,\u201d also known as abdominal breathing or diaphragmatic breathing, can reduce stress and anxiety. The American Sleep Association reports that focusing on breath might be able to help induce sleep for people struggling to fall asleep. In addition, to helping reduce stress and promote relaxation, breathing techniques are useful during labor to focus and release tension. Individuals with COPD often find it difficult to breathe, which can compound anxiety and make it even harder to breathe. But the COPD Foundation notes that two different breathing techniques can help an individual take in air without working hard: abdominal breathing and pursed-lips breathing.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-55131 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoga-gf11209b70_1920-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoga-gf11209b70_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoga-gf11209b70_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoga-gf11209b70_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoga-gf11209b70_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoga-gf11209b70_1920-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.stress.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/yoga-gf11209b70_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Original post: \u00a0<a class=\"ll-at-font ll-at-size ll-at-line-height\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hamburgreporter.com\/2022\/05\/05\/did-you-know-14\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jeg_logo_img ll-at-font ll-at-size lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hamburgreporter.etypegoogle2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Hamburg-Reporter.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hamburgreporter.etypegoogle2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Hamburg-Reporter.png 1x, https:\/\/hamburgreporter.etypegoogle2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Hamburg-Reporter.png 2x\" alt=\"The Hamburg Reporter\" width=\"202\" height=\"16\" data-light-data-src=\"https:\/\/hamburgreporter.etypegoogle2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Hamburg-Reporter.png\" data-light-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hamburgreporter.etypegoogle2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Hamburg-Reporter.png 1x, https:\/\/hamburgreporter.etypegoogle2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Hamburg-Reporter.png 2x\" data-dark-src=\"\" data-dark-srcset=\" 1x,  2x\" data-pin-no-hover=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 202px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 202\/16;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deep breathing exercises can help individuals maintain personal health and well-being.
