A healthy resting breathing pattern involves aiming for a moderate breathing rate per minute.

“So the basic takeaway here is you want to breathe in a healthy manner at rest. And the best way to do that is to spend some time-- and it doesn't take much, maybe a minute or so each day-- paying attention to how quickly you are breathing per minute when you are simply at rest, when you're making coffee in the morning, when you're sitting down to read, when you're on social media.”
