Diaphragmatic or belly breathing is considered one of the best exercises for improving breathing efficiency and promoting relaxation. It involves taking deep breaths that fully engage the diaphragm, reducing stress and enhancing overall lung function.

To correct your breathing, focus on taking slow, deep breaths through your nose, allowing your diaphragm to expand and your belly to rise. Exhale slowly through your mouth, ensuring a steady and controlled air release.

The healthiest breathing technique is deep, diaphragmatic breathing, which promotes optimal oxygen exchange and reduces tension. Practicing mindfulness while breathing can further enhance its benefits for physical and mental health.
