Breathing for Balance
Carbon dioxide plays a crucial role in our physiological balance, and both humans and animals instinctively engage in a double inhale and extended exhale to regulate it. Throughout the day, many people unknowingly hold their breath, especially while using devices, which can lead to stress. Practicing physiological sighs can effectively reduce stress levels and align with our natural breathing patterns, making it a powerful tool for maintaining calm and focus.In this clip

Is this correct: The physiological sigh is a natural breathing pattern that occurs in humans and animals to regulate stress and enhance calmness. It involves taking a deep inhale, followed by a brief second inhale (through the nose), and then a long exhale (preferably through the mouth). This double inhale inflates the alveoli, tiny sacs in the lungs, ensuring they remain open (they deflate when we are stressed) and can rebalance the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, as discussed in the episode Tools for Managing Stress & Anxiety | Huberman Lab Podcast #10?
