Nasal breathing

Summary

Mouth breathing: Dries out upper airways, leating to infammation, narrowing of airways

Nasal breathing: Slows down your breath, activates diaphramatic breathing, lowers heart rate, 10-20% better update of oxygen

Nitric oxide: Only produced in the nasal passages anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, increases oxygen uptake in the blood.


Nose breathing benefits

  • Nose slows down your breathing and helps pick up more nitric oxide
  • Nose breathing: activated diaphram breathing, slows down breathing, lowereing stress, 10-20% better uptake of oxygen, filters the air, reduces heart rate
  • Mouth breathing: activates the chest, more speech problems, bad breath
  • Nitric Oxide: Sterolizes the air as it comes in

The Benefits of Nasal Breathing

  • The nose is the only organ that conditions, moistens and regulates breathing volume, which protects the upper exercise
  • Still better to breath with your nose during rest, exercise and sleep
  • Mouth breathing: dries out upper airways leading to inflammation, norrowing of airways, contributes to bad breath and poor dental health
  • Nitric oxide: Antiviral, antibacterial and helps redistribute the blood throughout the lungs, increasing oxygen updake in the blood
  • Nasal breathing: Recovery post exercise is better, less expired oxygen, meaning your body utilizes oxygen more efficiently
