I have been a trumpet player for over 50 years. Two hours of vigorous playing will certainly open your pipes! 🎺

I've been lowering my blood pressure with deep breathing for awhile now. It definitely works. I didn't know why it did until now. Thanks. Knowledge is power!

Simple & Easy exercise with no costs.Thanks Doc.

We have been following this system in India for centuries and it's nice to see that you are also applying it. We call it Pranaya, a form of Yogic breathing. Very nice. My best wishes to you

Breathe in through your nose nice and easy for the count of Four then hold the breath for the count of seven then breath out through your NOSE as you humm the sound ommmm through the nose " not the mouth " for the count of eight or more as you are getting better repeat for 33 breath at least Three times . This is the true science and research Blessings to all Pay it forward

I didn't realize that this increases nitric oxide. I thought it just relaxes us, thus bringing the bp down. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.

Ah, so! This has been taught in the Yoga tradition for over a thousand years. They called it Pranayama, which correctly pronounced is Praa-naa-yaa-ma. Aayaama means to deepen and extend. Praana (usually spelt Prana) means breath or also means life energy. I once tried the method described in this video (called Bhastrika in Yoga) but it made me so dizzy from my blood getting so alkaline, I never did this ever again. And lastly, I *never* breathe out through my mouth. The warm air coming out of the lungs feels so nice while breathing out through the nose. The warm air relaxes the nasal membranes and increases blood circulation in them. Thanks for reading my comment! I'm an MD and have been a Yoga student for over 30 years. Mostly I do gentle but moderately deep belly breathing, but sometimes I'll extend the in-breath into my chest as well. Exhalation is allowed to be natural and not forced. More frequent, deep and forced breath out through the nose is called Kapalabhati in Yoga. Pronounced Ka-paa-la-bhaathi. Great to clean out the sinuses. Kapaala means head, and bhati (bhaathi) means to "shine" but really to cleanse. I make sure no one is within a few feet of me as I do so, and keep a Kleenex around, haha!

This is so helpful! Thank you so much! The body doubling is like ten times more effective, even sped up, than just telling me what to do! Thank you!🎉🎉🎉

1) This looks like hyperventilating, not NO-breathing. 2) Hyperventilating is not particularly healthy; some say it's harmful. 3) Full-exhale is more important than maximizing inhale. 4) Humming through nose (nasal passages) is said to be the most effective mechanism for increasing NO, because nasal passages produce NO2 when vibrated by humming. Lower-pitch hum is better than high-pitch hum. 5) Hum the last 10% of exhale, then breath-in through nose to maximize NO absorption.

I just found your channel sir and I must say I am addicted thanks for sharing knowledge Greece is watching keep up👏👏👏🇬🇷

Thank You.......I have recently started the Nitro Oxide Dump Exercises (twice daily) and feel the benefits in just a couple of days. This will be great to add to the end of the exercises.

Thank You Dr. You are Amazing! i learn so much from your Videos. 😊👍👌.I really love this breathing technique.❤

Very good presentation you got to the point right away immediate demonstration you didn't waste everybody's time with a lot of blah blah blah thank you very much

That was one of the funniest facial expressions I have seen in a video in ages. Brilliant 😂😂😂 I am going to do it as I really need it.

Great , I will follow this

Great video Adam thank you!!

Thank you so much!!

Thanks Adam.

Great information!

great info

It is like apnea breathing. You feel cold, tingling in toes and fingers and some dizziness, it means it is time to hold your breath and DIVE. A small touch last three four inhales and exhales should dramatically slow down in order to step down the heartbeat.

I ve learned so much from ur insightful viedos. Thank u Doctor

Wim Hof's breathing is similar but alternates between hyperventilation and breath holds. It results in a rush of endorphins, flexibility enhancement and pain attenuation after 3-4 rounds.

Thank you for this video..most appreciated

Amazing information thank You so much

heavily exhaling through the mouth is Co2 dumping. That’s where the tingeling comes from. Co2 is also a vasodilator. Dumping Co2 makes you feel tingling of the constriction of the blood vessels. Tinglings around the mouth. Co2 Dump is what you want to do after a heavy workout. Or after long under water swim. Someone who hyperventilates needs to either slowdown exhaling of breathe in a (paper)bag. Nitric oxide always comes with nose breathing and is just a natural thing what people are not aware of. Ok Doc, appreciate your work. Respectfully.. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is what I’ve learned as a Pranayama Breath Coach. Ciao!🙏🏽☀️

Thank you for the L.A.B.S. Diet video - very appreciated. And thank you for taking the time to make videos for us and to educate us. God bless!

I like to drink beets and arugula as they are both highest in nitric Oxide. I am tingling now from this drink alone. Together with this breathing and the nitric oxide dump exercise...Wow!

Thanks for the insight.

*Your videos help me alote thank Sooo much*

Most people teach to exhale slowly, but your fast exhale works better for me.

Thank you Doctor.

june 20 2023 despite the effects of n-o you cite having no value to me ( at this time ) ... viewing your vid did have large bennies with my pre-existing p-a-o-t-b . this practice began over 30 years ago in a beginner yoga class w/ the ujaya breath. and didnt go much of anywhere until about 5 years back. then i was searching for one thing and instead found dr richard brown. here on a u-t vid. looked in to him, bought his book, played its CD and followed along with his lessons for a variety of breathing - methods. and have been on that path ever since. his 4-4-6-2 breath is practiced the most often. sometimes with a stopwatch set for 2 minutes. and until now my bpm rate is in the 4 to 5 range. and subst'g the '5' has resulted in a bpm of 3 to 4. this is new territory. neither fainting nor dizziness nor lite-headed feeling has occurred enough to recall at all nor is it any problem now. breathing this slow doesnt attract any attention ... its quite natural. it took me a month or so at the beginning to slow down from 15 +/- to 6 via the CD lessons with their metronome pacing. and a 4 bpm pace just happened over a span of years. and not by being a target / goal. and via filling my lungs to the max now as you inform us it is found the 1'st 4 is not enuf time. to its evolved into a 5-4-6-2. btw ... paotb is something i practice not just sitting or supine but while on my feet and active. the result is by day's end the ratio of time spent ( lost ) being unconscious to awake / alert has shifted to the right. the exception is on my feet and talking to someone. i'm still light years away from to being able to pull off that one. adieu p-a-o-t-b = practicing awareness of the breath

Thank you this a similar and simpler method of Wimhoff breathing technique. Thank you

Thank you

Thank you.

Appreciate ❤️

Thanks!

I have. High Blood pressure! Going to try it!!

This is pranayama. Ancient Indian yogic technique. Also there is Brahmari pranayama which is humming with closing of ears and eyes that increases nitric oxide. Simple humming also increases nitric oxide.

Short tips are good!

Excellent Video!! And a daily habit that I will be picking up !! Before my inhale I do a low sinus vibrations hum !!!

I have been doing this for a while now before I meditate in the mornings. It slows the breathing down, relaxes the body and enables a deeper meditation. I got it from the Wim Hoff method and it works great. Nice to see it here.

Thank you. I remember a yoga teacher saying many years ago something similar to this suggested breathing exercise, except that at the very end of the exhale, you are meant to use your diaphragm to force the last amount of breath out of your lungs in a final sharp push.

Super sir

Realyy thank s❤

Nice Life saving 👍

Awesome. My chiropractor in Mia, Fla also uses the Gonstead method. Dr Raymond Page. Love it.❤

I'm 37 and keep up with vitamins and foods I'm supposed to eat this breathing exercise works

I am from India. This breathing exercises really works

Tried it. Feel great! Thank you, Would this be ok for people to do if they have ectopic heartbeats? I think some people say deep breathing is good to stimulate the vagal nerve. and banish the ectopic beats.

What you are describing is also known by some as Rebirthing. If you really want an experience, keep breathing for about 15 minutes. BUT - keep in mind it's best done with an experienced coach.

Great 😊

Excellent exercise

Very nice technic to get nitric oxide. How much time to do is not mentioned to the persons aged 72 years like me. Please mention. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I used to do this back in the seventies without realizing what it was. It just enabled me to swim a length of the pool under water.

Simple and effective.

Nice

Just combine the correct breathing with the exercises as per dr Mercola to get the benefit of both.

Please follow Indian way of Breathing, Yoga, Asans. You will get continuous bonus, breathing out from nose with double the time of breathing in will increase RBC due to lack of Oxygen momentarily. It works on the same principle that people living by the side of sea have low RBC count actually needed by the body and high RBC count for people living on mountains with low air pressure.

I always loved the fast and the furious, does this give your tunnel vision too? That be so cool!

Win Hoff the guy who actually jumps into freezing cold water would be pleased to see this over simplified version of his method

Thanks brother I am personally feeling much better

WOW! Tried this today and could feel a definite difference. Wish I'd know about this years ago. I do have two questions, however. How long does it take for a nitric oxide dump to wear off? Can this be done more than once a day?

I thought this was just hyperventilating and lowering co2 in the blood and the tingly dizzy feeling was oxygen deprivation in the tissues because the blood cells have trouble releasing oxygen when co2 is low (the bohr effect). Is this different from hyperventilating?

All of the physician doctors, MDs, who have recommended deep breathing sessions, all say to start with 5 minute sessions and build up to about 15 minutes, done twice daily at least. And most importantly, they all say to exhale for twice as long as inhalation, i.e. inhale through nose for 5 seconds, hold for a beat, then exhale for 10 seconds.

... thanks soooooo much doctor...

You can hum for 2 minutes for NO2 production as well

First BP reading always high; I generally take three readings and record the middle (median) one. Should I discard do this, average all three or just discard the first and record the second? What do others do?

Dr. is this a permanent solution or just last for a certain time?

What about "bumble bee" breathing? I've read that humming apparently creates NO as well.

Love your videos :)) One question : Is it better to perform this exercise before or after my gym sessions? Much appreciated

Mr PP may appreciate this one. Thanks…

mechanism for this exercise increasing NO? I can see how this would reduce blood CO2 temporarily and alter blood pH, but how does NO factor in?

What's your thoughts on hydrogen peroxide nebulizing ? I have been doing it but I just dumped it as I felt it was doing damage.

Thank you for your video... although I am not sure how this increases nitric oxide in the blood...have any measurements been made before and after the breathing exercise. As a doctor, I do know that this kind of breathing causes hypocarbia (blows of CO2) and this causes the lightheadedness....

What you have demonstrated is a yogic breathing exercise. There are many techniques like Kapal Bhati, Bhastrika, and Anulom vilom. Apart from pranayama, there are many postures known as Assan to be performed for a healthy lifestyle.

In yoga, an ancient Indian wellness practice to facilitate a reunification between the mind, body, and soul with the cosmic consciousness, this is a breathing technique referred to as Bhastrika Pranayam.

The tingling is from exhaling too much Carbon Dioxide. Wouldn't it be better to breathe deeply throughout the day and exhale more slowly? I've been breathing from the diaphragm for years.

Thanks. This is similar to “Breath of Fire” breathing exercise used in Kundalini yoga ?

Wonderful to watch you! Do we exhale through the nose or mouth - I’ve seen exhaling through the nose too. Thank You

Is it more effective to hold the inhale in for a few moments and then exhale slowly? so that we don't build up too much Co2 in our body

Hi. Thank you for this video. How do you if you are increasing your NO? Thanks again

I will use this style of breathing for one week, especially when I have HBP. I have used 5-6-7 breathing in the past to lower pressure. Experimenting with this 5-6-7, I discovered that I could hold my breath deeply for a minute or more, i.e. 6 sec became 60 sec. When I go to Walmart, I spray some peroxide on my mask, below the nose, and then practice controlled breathing to inhale the peroxide into my nasal passage and lungs. A portable nebulizer would be a good product for this, maybe using a rubber bulb to actuate.

Do you exhale thru your nose or mouth?

I just learn something new i didn't know it bring ur blood pressure down

This is basically the pranayam in yoga

Thnx for the vid ,doc...How many times should we do it during the day?

Could the feeling after be from low CO2 ?

Lightheadedness and tingling fingers occur with hypocarbia and respiratory alkalosis. Contribution from NO production is an unknown. Hyperventilation is a multifactorial process.

I just tried this exercise first time. BP before was 140/77. After breathing exercise it was 143/78. Do you have to practice this for a while to get results?

It's all good! Like this as well as Wim Hof. I've been doing breathwork daily since before Covid lockdown. Really helped me stay Covid free and excited about living while not working or seeing friends...😊

Another great video. THANKS I get the part about breathing in, but d we breath out as fast as you are showing in the video, or does it matter if we breath out very slowly as shown in videos by others?

Great practical application….How many times a day should one do this?

What about shutting your nose and shake your head as Buteyko Breathing recommends?

Can you make a video about the other gas that other people think is waste? C02? I hear and see that it also can help you recover and make O2 oxidize faster if you hold your breath longer and recover faster after cardio. Very little science about this but the Europeans and Russians were ahead of this when training their athletes.

How often can I do this a day?

Is this better than hummng?

Mujy dystonia hy Kya is ka treatment hy

Was it speedy up or did he start breathing very, very fast?
