Do You Sigh When Stressed?

Показать описание
Ever catch yourself sighing midday and worry about your breathing patterns? Don’t worry. Research from respiratory physiologist John West shows your body sighs naturally every 2–5 minutes to keep your alveoli (the tiny air sacs in your lungs) healthy.

These alveoli are essential for gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter your bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be expelled.

Sighing isn’t just a reaction to stress or emotion. It’s also a crucial part of maintaining lung health. So, next time you catch yourself sighing at work, try taking another deep breath - it might make you feel even better!
