NPR Health Reporter Gretchen Cuda explores the power of breath.
"As it turns out, deep breathing is not only relaxing, it's been scientifically proven to affect the heart, the brain, digestion, the immune system — and maybe even the expression of genes."
She explores the mechanisms by which deep breathing can change blood pressure, alter the pH of blood and activate the parasympathetic response.
Listen to her story on NPR Dec 6, 2010.
