Is having a slow breathing rate better than having a fast one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: While running or during exertion, ones breathing rate is way high as it should be and is better than a slow one. Very slow breathing rate is not good either. Normal resting condition one should be breathing 10-12 reasonable (taking about 500 cc of air in) breaths.
