Good video. I have a few IMST devices. Most studies also empathize the resistant exhalation as well for the best benefits for lower pressure. I like to rotate the resisted inhale and exhale. Thanks again for putting this out there and I can state wholeheartedly that this works for asthmatic conditions, general lung capacity, and overall vo2 capacity.
Wow!!! I’ve noticed that when I’m extremely anxious or in a panic. I shallow breathe very much, I have short breathes in my upper chest. As a result I’ve had high bp readings of 160:90, yet when I’ve done deep breathing techniques and I’m in a relaxed state I’ve gone to 123-75. Just insane. As someone who’s battled w anxiety for many years, doctors don’t tell u alot of this, instead they want to prescribe all kinds of anxiety pills and bp medicine.
im going to get one because of your video! i been on the fence thinking of buying one because i use to smoke. im still very young and walk evey day im pretty active but i feel like this will help my lungs get back on track
Also- lack of SLEEP over time plays a factor in high numbers. Most people including those with hypertension don't get 8 hours of quality sleep per day. Recently it's been shown that even short(25-45 minute) noontime naps can have positive effects in lowering blood pressure as well.
I just bought a breathing device, and am ready to get to work. One question, though; should my inhalations feel like "belly breathing", in which I can feel my gut expanding? I guess the "contraction of the diaphragm" vs the expansion of my gut confused me a bit. Thanks so much for your great video.
Can you please give me more explicit instructions as to what you're doing between "sets"? My understanding: Breathe in for 8 seconds, breathe out for 5 seconds(?), breathe normally for 17 seconds (30-13). Is that right? Thanks.
So your diaphragm is a skeletal muscle, so it will strengthen faster with some resistance. Most snorkels would not provide much resistance is the only issue.
I am a competitive powerlifter and consequently have to weight quite a bit more than my natural set point to be competitive. The process of gaining the weight over the years had taken a toll on my blood pressure. But after three weeks of this exercise twice a day, my BP has gone from 150/100 down to 119/69. I made no other changes to my diet, exercise or body weight. I have sent this video to every single strength athlete I know.
Hi Lucas! Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I explain to my clients who come to my counselling sessions. Medications are only one part of the equation (and sometimes we even don't need the; I agree every situation is unique), we have to help our body with natural behaviors such as breathing and make them a part of our life. Change in behavior is what leads to prolonged changes. I'll be glad to share this video with others!
I'm going to try a PowerBreathe but before I spend the money, is it likely to help since I'm getting a lot of miles on a road bike? Alternatively, what is your experience with people who have a good diet, are fit and still need medication to get into the top of the normal range?
I fought traffic, got highly stressed and barely made my annual doctor appointment. They hooked me up to their machine, and my first-blush BP was 166/95...pretty awful. Stress and the "white-coat effect' were in full flower. I said, "Give me a few minutes." They gave me a few minutes. I closed my eyes, used THE ABOVE breathing techniques, and my pressure dropped to 127/77. Holy Macaroni. My nurse and doctor were STUNNED by my sudden BP reduction.
You are simply superb mam that you are explaining in away that all people can understand and do your exercises,thank you sir , keep doing so many as like me can get clear idea of the disease of what themselves have,iwas going through siatic pain for 8 year,but now the stretches what you gave,My son is 11years old and he had a pain in his heels often,he is going for a shuttle ,in a week 6 days,so please suggest any remedies or why these pain are going through,
I read a report on Yahoo in summer of 2021 about this. I immediately bought a device (a cheap one also) and have been doing it ever since. I followed the protocol from the Univ. of Colorado described in the news article which is: a set of 6 breaths, rest one minute or more, repeat four more times, done once per day, six days per week. (With gradual increase in resistance). I'm going to give this somewhat different approach a try as well. Imagine, a technique that doesn't involve ONGOING MEDS (and their side effects) or expensive equipment. NEVER saw another article about it until this video. Thanks.
There is a similar one at Walmart brand name Adurance and I'm sure if you showed them a picture of it at a drugstore they might be able to recommend a similar device
By this logic, are those who play larger breath based instruments also naturally better at this/have stronger diaphragms? Or does this go in reverse as they focus a lot more on prolonged and resistant exhalation?
Love the way you explain everything, Lucas. If I am very comfortable with doing the 2 inhales per minutes and count to 8, should I try to do more than 2 per minute or maybe count to 10? Thank you
My brother had a stroke and for him is hard to do coordination breathwork on his own so we purchased him incentive spirometer which he can view the feedback using the balls hitting the top of device which each inhale. Even though he is not using the incentive spirometer for its intended use, you think the he can lower blood pressure this way as well?
Inhalation devices demand greater muscular work too so very likely it can help... the research I've seen in with a different devices, but logically that makes sense.
Hola Lucas. Estoy muy feliz de haber descubierto tu canal . Das recomendaciones muy valiosas. Ya venia haciendo respiraciones y me han ayudado muchisimo. Me ayudo mucho los videos del nervio vago en un momento de muchisimo estres. si sabes algo del TINITUS me gustaria que hicieras un video . Saludos desde España.
Great video, Lucas! Very well explained and presented. One thing that’s not clear to me is how much air I should get into my lungs during the 8 seconds compared to a full deep breath.
Amazon has them. Holding your breath will help but adding resistance will help much faster. Like he said you can do curls without a dumbbell and still have muscle gain but to really build your biceps you'd need to add dumbbells (aka resistance).
Hello Lindy - it's possible to use a straw. The reusable aluminum straws work well. But "breath trainers" (can buy on amazon) are inexpensive and pretty helpful.
I can't breathe in for 8 seconds. No device. What does that mean? I get maybe 4 seconds and feel at full capacity. Is that a lung or muscle diaphragm issue?
Hi Lucas, thank you very much for the video. I have very erratic BP, and I hope this exercise will help stabilize it. My question is how much air should one breathe in with the device? I am not sure if I am letting in too much or too little air, since all I can see is a plus and a minus sign on the knob. Thanks
Hey Lucas. As there's so much emphasis on nose breathing these days, what do you think of partially blocking the nostrils aka pratiloma pranayama as an alternative to this? I wonder if similar results for lowering blood pressure would occur? Of course, no device needed at all which makes it especially practical. I'm keen to know your opinion :)
I'm not clear: You are certainly doing much more then 2 breaths per minute; what is one round vs two?; after inhaling with the device and exhale you seem to do another inhale/exhale without the device--why am I not understanding?
I used a trompette embouchurr. You just have to partially plug the small hole at the end to adjust the resistance. I have my own so I don't have to steal it from my son's trumpet. Works well.
Thanks for this video. I took your advice and bought a breathing device online for about $18. I have a question though. According to the directions that come with that device, they say to do 25 explosive breaths in a row with no holding your breath in-between. I need to get my blood pressure down so I want to make sure I'm following the best advice. Do you recommend to follow those directions or stick with yours?
Can i ask you about thr breathing exercises for high blood pressure is it good not to hold the breathe which is better hold or not hold the breath to reduce high blood pressure
same principle, breathing against resistance, so i would say yes. but this gadget seems to have higher resistance settings which i dont think you can replicate with ujjayi, or you put too much pressure on your vocal cords.
Can i ask you about thr breathing exercises for high blood pressure is it good not to hold the breathe which is better hold or not hold the breath to reduce high blood pressure
To use the respiratory device you'll need to breathe in through your mouth and out through your nose. If you're breathing normally without the device, yes, always through the nose. - YOGABODY Team
I been doing this wrong. I been inhaling and exhaling through the devise. I have the (expand a lung) devise for about 2yrs. The reason I started to look into how to use the devise cause the hospital (just had a hip replacement) gave me their version to exercise my lung after I woke up from surgery and they told me to inhale through their devise then exhale through my nose. I then got confused cause I been doing my devise these 2yrs as stated above! Thank you for a great presentation that I was able to understand!! 👍🏼 I checked your TH-cam page for the future when I am healed!! I noticed lots of your yoga moves are the ones the hip doctor is telling me to avoid! I thought I could go back to working out and stretching! I am 71yo man and try to maintain healthy habits! I did not realize I was going to be handicapped on lots of basic movements. Dang.
Glad we could help! It’s great to hear about your progress with breathing. For improving mobility after hip replacement, it’s best to follow your healthcare provider’s guidance. Recovery takes time, but with very gentle stretching and plenty of patience, you can regain a lot of that mobility! Keep practicing. -YOGABODY Team

Hi! For lowering blood pressure, it's best to inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. This method helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and lowering blood pressure. - YOGABODY Team
I just ordered a breathing device. I am so excited, and have already just by doing exercises manually-- in just a few days, I've gotten results, thanks.
Thanks. Someone taught to block nose almost full with fingers and breath through nose. It seems to work. I tried also sticking two fingers to closed mouth and it seems also work
Yoga Pranayama (breathing techniques) specifically teaches to exhale and inhale from the nose except 2 those are Sheethali and the one Sheethkaari where in the inhalation is done through the mouth. What you have shown seems to be like an experiment which might help or it may not and it could be a risk to the health.

do you have one for the grip excersize, there was also studies that showed isometric grip excersizes also lowered BP by significant amounts
Fantastic
does doing this longer then 5 minutes have a better effect?

What is that mouth device?
Would breathing through a snorkel be as effective as one of the devices you show here?
So your diaphragm is a skeletal muscle, so it will strengthen faster with some resistance. Most snorkels would not provide much resistance is the only issue.

In Hatha yoga, there is a practice called Kaki mudra which creates the Same effect without using any device. Hari OM
You can do this exercise without any device, just sculpting your mouth as if to whistle and only inhaling instead of exhaling.
I think that would work, not as well but probably yes!

About 75% of max.

When you say “sets,” I think you mean reps. It’s an important distinction.
So good. I feel my shoulders relaxing after this
Great explanation and video. I’d heard about this and other exercises when I read the Book “Breathe”. It’s an excellent read as is your video.
Can you inhale through this as well and why do you take it out of your mouth?
Was just listening to dr. Talking about Nitric Oxide. But his approach stated there is no way to increase N .O. Thanks for clearing that up.
Lots of fruits or vegetables will. Spinach and especially beet juice increases it.

What is the device called? Do I buy
from a gym, pharmacy or Amazon? Can I not just hold my breath?
Amazon has them. Holding your breath will help but adding resistance will help much faster. Like he said you can do curls without a dumbbell and still have muscle gain but to really build your biceps you'd need to add dumbbells (aka resistance).
