Breath training has several advantages such as lowering blood pressure and stress levels, building stronger abdominal and intestinal muscles, and, of course, learning to hold your breath like a blue whale.

What advantages are there?
1) To possess a whale’s lung capacity
Become more muscular in the muscles used for breathing. Having more lung capacity will greatly improve one’s physical capabilities and breathing efficiency. Better gas absorption and removal will be possible as a result. The advantages of this during a strong surf session are only apparent.
2) Boost your cardiovascular endurance
Breathing becomes easier when one’s cardiac strength grows, especially under stressful situations (like a 6ft wave). Sustaining a high level of performance both in and out of the water requires the diaphragm muscle. The diaphragm’s thickness can be altered by breath training. This implies that you will be able to manage your breathing better under pressure.
3) Work harder, recuperate more quickly!
A stable heartbeat is produced by breath training, which heavily emphasizes breath control. You can regulate your heart rate and breathing to gain control over your neurological system and the brain’s emotion center. This reduces the amount of energy wasted when stress levels rise. By practicing mindful breathing and directed mental concentration (I like to imagine scenarios such as grocery shopping or getting ready for work), you may teach your breath to enter a “healing state” and comfortably reduce your breathing to one to five cycles per minute. This condition, referred to as the parasympathetic state, is essential for profound healing and a sense of renewal.
4) The game of the mind
In addition to the physical adjustments needed to support a prolonged breath hold, mental toughness and self-assurance also significantly increase. This is an excellent quality to have while handling wipeouts, holddowns, and other situations when you’re fighting to stay afloat.
It will also provide you an advantage in sports where it’s required to hold your breath occasionally. I was going to mention something like boxing, but in a boxing fight, you are never allowed to hold your breath.
Training your breaths triggers the “mammalian diving reflex,” a bodily instinct. This results in a physiological alteration that lowers heart rate and thus oxygen consumption. Once this response has been triggered, you’ll eventually discover that it’s one of your greatest tools for taking deeper breaths when necessary.
5) Reduce Tension
When under stress, breathing is the first thing to adjust since it causes many imbalances, especially with the heart rate and cardiac biorhythms. Increased heart rate and brainwave activity are linked to stress. This drastically lowers cognitive functions, which may lead to anxiety, hazy thinking, poor memory recall, erratic behavior, and a slow loss of hormonal balance. B.E.T. provides the best “natural” method of stress management.
6) Raise the level of anaerobic metabolism
Anaerobic threshold, or the capacity to operate at a high level as your activity rate increases, is a key factor in determining athletic performance.
7) Adapt to increased carbon dioxide levels
Stress, whether it be mental or physical, can cause the body to produce higher amounts of harmful carbon dioxide, which can immediately affect breathing. It can lead to increased blood acidity and lactic acid accumulation in the muscles. In order to develop our body’s ability to tolerate this, parts of the Breath Training quickly raise carbon dioxide levels over brief, safe intervals. This allows the body to adjust and produces a higher tolerance.
The capacity to manage stress, both mental and physical, is much improved. Breath training will lessen the likelihood of extra carbon dioxide building up in the tissues, which would create an acidic environment in which oxygen would not be easily absorbed into the blood. It will also enhance the manner that oxygen is released from hemoglobin as it is carried throughout the body.
8) Boost the body’s oxygen supply
When the exercise is sufficiently repeated, it will improve a number of bizarre chemical reactions, increasing the blood’s availability of oxygen. Similar to Lance Armstrong’s use of the doping substance EPO. (But in a normal, advised manner)
9) Boost the defenses in your body
Breath training greatly strengthens the immune system and promotes the oxygenation of cells. The advantages are derived in the same manner that weight training exercises improve muscles. The exercise will temporarily weaken the cells, but they rapidly adapt.
Your vulnerability to respiratory-related illnesses, viruses, germs, and even cancer can be significantly decreased since they cannot thrive in a body with high oxygen levels.
