*Apple Editor's Recommendation* ad-free! No pop ups! Deep breathing has many benefits: relaxing the mind, reducing stress, and promoting sleep But what can be done effectively? Andrew Will, an American medical doctor, proposed the 4-7-8 breathing method: slowly inhale through the nose for 4 seconds, then hold the breath for 7 seconds, and finally exhale for 8 seconds. Deep Breathing "is designed based on this method to guide you in deep breathing. We provide 4 interesting breathing training scenarios, where you can experience different feelings in different scenarios. Of course, you can also customize the time, background music, and scene for breathing in, breathing out, and exhaling according to your own situation in the app, to find the most comfortable rhythm of your body and experience the wonderful process of fresh air cleaning your body. When negative emotions such as fatigue and irritability strike, it's best to take a moment to breathe and breathe along with the app's rhythm and ambient sound effects, injecting vitality into the body.
