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
