than 10 breaths per minute, not to reach as slow a breathing rate as
possible. Making an effort to achieve an excessively slow breathing
rate may not be as beneficial in lowering blood pressure levels.
The more therapeutic breathing minutes, the better!
Be sure to accumulate no less than 40 therapeutic breathing
minutes per week. Remember that the more time spent in
the Therapeutic Breathing Zone, the better your chances of
achieving greater blood pressure reduction.
Avoid other breathing techniques. During the RESPeRATE
session, don’t try other breathing techniques such as breath-
holding or Buteyko. These types of breathing require effort
which is counter-productive to lowering blood pressure.
Stay awake to lower blood pressure. RESPeRATE is very
relaxing. Some users have been known to fall asleep. When
sleeping, your breathing rate may become faster and you will
not accumulate therapeutic minutes. You may use RESPeRATE
to fall asleep as a secondary purpose.
Be patient. As with any physical exercise program, long
term results are not immediate. Each session can provide an
immediate sense of calm and relaxation. However, an all-day
blood pressure reduction starts to be seen within - 3-4 weeks.
