Once you have mastered the belly breath, you can add resistance to your exhalation by pursing your lips and exhaling forcefully, and this is what mountaineers call the Pressure Breath. This is one of the most important breaths for climbing at high altitudes that helps combat the decrease in atmospheric pressure

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a Chlamydia Tracomatis And Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, Pcr Qualitative Test or Take a eGFR Test (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) Test
