One of the ways that we can use breath is to help us manage our stress better. Slowing down our breath, breathing in and out through our nose, with our tongue gently placed at the roof of our mouth. Six seconds in, six seconds out, is what we call coherence breathing. This form of breathing will almost instantaneously calm you down. An interesting fact is that the average person over breathes and that leads to excess calorie expenditure. It zaps our energy and it actually is less effective. Breathing less and more intentionally is actually better for our body.
