Diaphragmatic breathing exercises — against stress and fatigue

Sometimes, to feel better, it is enough simply to learn how to breathe correctly.

Author: Dr. Elfana Suleymanova Medically reviewed

Diaphragmatic breathing exercises are a simple but effective way to reduce stress and fatigue and to relax the body and mind.

  • 5 minutes is enough for each exercise
  • It becomes possible to breathe more easily in the morning and start the day with energy
  • The nervous system receives a “safety” signal and calms down
  • As the diaphragm starts working, lymphatic flow is activated too

We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
