Why it Works
What You Get with the TBA Breathing for Diabetes Course:
People with diabetes have autonomic nervous system imbalance.
​​
-
Slow breathing increases the tone of the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) branch of the nervous system, restoring balance to the nervous system in people with diabetes.
​
Diabetes is associated with reduced blood flow.
​​
-
Slow breathing synchronizes the heart, lungs, and nervous system (a state of “resonance”), which enhances blood flow and allows the body to function efficiently and optimally.
​
People with diabetes suffer from higher rates of stress & anxiety.
​​
-
By stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, slow breathing reduces stress and anxiety in as little as 2 minutes.
​
People with diabetes face daily emotional stressors associated with the disease.
​​
-
Slow breathing boosts heart rate variability (HRV) and mental resiliency, allowing people with diabetes to handle and bounce back from daily diabetic stressors easier.
​
Diabetes is associated with chronic inflammation.
​​
-
Through stimulation of the vagus nerve and activation of the “relaxation response,” slow breathing reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.
​
Diabetic complications are caused by lack of oxygen at the cellular level (tissue hypoxia).
-
Slow nasal breathing improves blood flow and harnesses nitric oxide, increasing oxygen uptake in the blood and improving whole-body oxygenation.
