A simple way to calm a body under severe stress

Physiological sighing - according to neuroscientists, the fastest way to reduce stress.
Earlier we shared a post about stress. Today we want to briefly explain how the most effective known method works here and now to help your body in stressful situations where you are under a lot of stress, you feel a rising panic, your body freezes.
When the body reacts particularly strongly to stress, is irritable and tense, simply offering to calm down will not help. What you need is... to breathe. One such effective breathing technique is the physiological sigh - two short, strong inhalations one after the other, immediately followed by a slow, long exhalation. This technique activates our parasympathetic nervous system almost immediately: heart rate slows down, blood pressure drops, and the body calms down.
During stress, we unconsciously begin to breathe deeply and slowly, but this only activates the heart even more - it begins to beat even more densely, blood pressure rises. When we inhale, the diaphragm lowers, this way the space for the heart increases, more blood passes through it in the same time, so the number of heartbeats starts to decrease, but then the brain, which feels responsible for controlling stress, encourages the heart to work faster.
