Managing Stress via Deep Breathing through RMT Devices  

(Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing Stress)  A proven non-drug approach to managing stress.  

Exercising can be a highly effective way to deal with things in your life that are causing stress and anxiety. Researchers have found that regular physical activity and exercise can protect people against stress and anxiety while promoting positive emotions.

Exercising can be beneficial for various reasons, including lowering the body's stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, while increasing endorphin levels. Endorphins act as the body's "feel-good" chemicals. They act as natural painkillers and play a role in inducing feelings of relaxation while boosting mood.

The CDC - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, or an equivalent combination every week.

If you can't meet these benchmark goals, any amount or type of exercise is better than no exercise and can benefit your mental health and help decrease stress and anxiety.

Use MAXIMUS to practice deep breathing while doing light activities like walking, light exercise, and even stretching.  You can also use MAXIMUS during moderate to vigorous exercises, significantly impacting your endorphin release and overall sense of well-being.

Prototype users of MAXIMUS consistently report significant stress relief, better sleep, and an overall improved sense of well-being.
