Researchers found that breathing exercise could lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Breathing lowers the level of toxic proteins by changing the heart rate.

Researchers at the Leonard Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California found evidence in their research that a certain breathing exercise can reduce the number of toxic protein deposits (proteins) in the brain. The breathing exercises could be an inexpensive and low-risk way to lower beta-amyloid plasma levels and keep them low throughout adulthood.
