Researchers from Gujarat University, India say that humming twice a day can drastically reduce stress levels.
Humming may soothe effect on 'fight or flight' response during stressful timesExercising, getting out into nature, singing... they've all been touted as ways to relieve stress. But the latest research suggests that all it takes is to hum.
Each of the sessions involved inhaling for up to four seconds and then exhaling for six to eight seconds while humming.Data published in medical science journal Cureus shows that the participants were at their least stressed when they were humming – 2.3 times less than during emotional scenarios or exercise, and even 12 per cent less than when asleep.
According to experts, stress increases risk of heart attacks, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, weight gain and headaches. Pictured, stock photo
