Here&#x27;s the article from earlier last year: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.colorado.edu&#x2F;today&#x2F;2021&#x2F;06&#x2F;29&#x2F;5-minute-breathing-workout-lowers-blood-pressure-much-exercise-drugs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.colorado.edu&#x2F;today&#x2F;2021&#x2F;06&#x2F;29&#x2F;5-minute-breathing...</a>

I&#x27;d refer to this as a &quot;submarine article&quot; or whatever, but that would mean that there was an actual link to the product somewhere in TFA...which if there is, I didn&#x27;t find it:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.powerbreathe.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.powerbreathe.com</a><p>US$40 and up. My wife has high blood pressure, but I don&#x27;t. However, as a distance runner, this part interested me, so perhaps I&#x27;ll get one or two:<p><i>&quot;Craighead, whose personal marathon best is 2 hours, 21 minutes, says he has incorporated IMST as part of his own training.&quot;</i>

So mouth-breathers probably have higher blood pressure?

The breath training they are referring to is breathing through a device with flow resistance, making it harder to pull in the air. (30 times per day for six weeks).<p>Strengthening the breathing muscles is what improves the blood pressure, according to the article.

This sounds plausible to me.
