Health Tip: Stressed Out?             

(HealthDay News) -- Meditation can take many forms, including the art of deep breathing. It's a great way to relieve stress.

The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these steps to deep breathing, which helps your body get plenty of oxygen:

  • Lie on your back on a flat surface.
  • Rest one hand on your stomach above your belly button, and the other hand on your chest.
  • Breathe in slowly and deeply, making your stomach rise a bit. Hold for a second.
  • Slowly exhale, so that your stomach goes back down.
  • Repeat several times.
