Key Moments
Elongated exhale through nose activates parasympathetic calm
Immunologist Jenna Machoki explains how elongating the exhale through the nose taps into the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress. The diaphragm movement affects heart rate via the respiratory sinus arrhythmia, helping balance the autonomic nervous system.
"And elongating the exhale, so just taking a normal inhale and then making sure that exhale is slowed down through the nose. This is going to really tap into that rest and digest parasympathetic part of the nervous system."
