A University of Colorado researcher says slow deep-breathing techniques are effective and should be accompanied by exercise.
, an integrative physiologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, told FOX Television Stations on Wednesday that the study revealed that the breathing device helps lower blood pressure.
"Fiona Bailey, a professor from the University of Arizona, researched sleep apnea and noticed that some patients had lower blood pressure rates. So in conjunction with Dr. Bailey’s research, my team did the breathing study looking at ways to enhance your breathing to reduce high blood pressure." The professor also explains that breathing techniques should be performed whether or not you have a device. However, it should not replace exercise, but complement it.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
