‘Inhale 4, exhale 6, pause 2’: Expert decodes the viral breathing hack for belly fat
Functional medicine practitioner Dr. Ben Weitz suggested a breathing technique—inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 6, and pause for 2—to help burn belly fat. While slow breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce stress, Dr. Amit Saraf from Jupiter Hospital cautioned that there is no strong scientific evidence supporting the claim that this method directly leads to fat loss. Overall, breathing exercises may enhance well-being but should not be seen as a standalone solution for weight loss.
