Simple breathing exercises tested to ease stress in seniors

This study tested whether a short, daily breathing meditation program could help people over 65 feel less stressed and improve their quality of life. Researchers worked with 128 volunteers, with half practicing 15 minutes of breathing meditation daily for 10 days and the other half not receiving the program. The goal was to see if this easy, side-effect-free practice could help older adults cope better with stress and feel more satisfied with life.
