You can also use this simple trick to help with asthma and even to help you fall asleep easier.When someone is stressed, they often think they need more oxygen. But they really need the right balance of oxygen and CO2—CO2 actually helps increase oxygen absorption.The diaphragm is a fascinating and important muscle controlled by the phrenic nerves. It constantly works to deliver oxygen to the body and balance oxygen and CO2. The diaphragm works automatically, but it's possible to bypass the involuntary or automatic mechanism and control your breathing.When you change your breathing pattern, you're actively taking over the automatic system and putting it in your control. Any time you're in a fight or flight state, your breathing isn't balanced. So, we need to balance the breathing pattern.You can use this hack throughout the day for five minutes whenever you're feeling stressed or before bed to help you sleep better.To do this simple breathing trick, breathe in through your nose for four seconds and then breathe out for four seconds. It's best to do this while breathing through your diaphragm, not your chest.To take it to the next level, if you're in a major stress state, breathe in for four seconds and breathe out for seven to eight seconds.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:
