What is the neurological mechanism that calms one down when breathing with long exhales, as discussed in the Huberman Lab Podcast episode "How to Breathe Correctly for Optimal Health, Mood, Learning & Performance" and the clip "Cyclic Sighing Benefits"?
Is the following statement correct? The physiological sigh is a natural breathing pattern that occurs in humans and animals to regulate stress and enhance calmness. It involves taking a deep inhale, followed by a brief second inhale (through the nose), and then a long exhale (preferably through the mouth). This double inhale inflates the alveoli, ensuring they remain open and can rebalance the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. This was discussed in the episode Tools for Managing Stress & Anxiety | Huberman Lab Podcast #10 and the clip Mastering Breath Control?
