Your nose is for breathing your mouth is for eating

There are several reasons why it is obvious that your nose is designed to breathe. First of all, your nose is like an air conditioner for your lungs. Air that passes through the nose on its way to the lungs is filtered through the nose. Your nose will greatly reduce the amount of dust, pollen, bacteria, viruses, or whatever else is floating in the air.

These things would cause major problems if they were allowed to flow directly into the lungs. The nose is designed to handle them. It is your first line of defense. If you breathe through your mouth, you do not use these defenses.

Second, in this air conditioner, the air that reaches your lungs through your nose has been in your body a little longer and is therefore close to body temperature. Your lungs don’t like extreme temperatures. Nasal breathing reduces the problem.

Your air conditioner also works to increase the humidity of the air that reaches your lungs. Your lungs like the air to be clean, not too hot, not too cold, and very humid. The air that enters through the mouth is much drier when it reaches the lungs than the air through the nose.

Dry lungs

It is probably this information about the lungs that need moist air that led to earlier theories about asthma based on the “drying out” of the lungs and the development of “vaporizers” that are designed to put moisture into the air in your home or bedroom. to stop it. this “drying”. These machines seem to have a small impact, but only if you breathe through your mouth. If you breathe through your nose, it has a built-in automatic humidifier and you don’t need it.

It was also believed for a time that this “humidity factor” was the reason why asthmatics who started swimming often benefited, while running or jogging less often seemed to help. This has now been disproved by further investigation.

Of course, you and I now understand why swimming is more likely to reduce asthma as it alters your breathing pattern. You have to stop breathing for a while when your face is underwater, also, since you are burning energy, you are producing more CO2, so you can train your breathing to accept a slightly higher level. Swimming doesn’t seem to help some asthmatics, probably because they breathe even more heavily while swimming.

The other reason your nose is for breathing is that because your nasal passages are so much smaller than your mouth, you are forced to breathe less. You have to work much harder to overbreathe with your mouth closed. You can still do it, it’s a bit more difficult. Additionally, nasal breathing allows for additional defense against swelling of the nasal passages to reduce air flow. The only reason why the nose is blocked is because a shortage of CO2 causes the smooth vessels to swell, just like in “asthma”.

By keeping your mouth closed, your nose will help reduce air flow.

Note: Your nose will not completely block unless your mouth is open.

You can whistle and continue, but remember that the more you are blocked, the more CO2 is trapped, prompting you to open again.

If you have a stuffy or partially stuffy nose now, experiment with your breathing to make it more blocked. [release CO2 by breathing more deeply at the same speed].

Then, make her block less by taking less deep breaths, or just hold your breath for several seconds. [pinch your nostrils closed] more than is comfortable and breathe as little as possible through your nose after you breathe.

In short, all you have to do is trap more CO2 than you release, just as you would to stop asthma.

If the blocked nose is preventing you from closing your mouth and becoming a healthier nasal breather at this time, unblock it with the following procedure. Then keep your mouth shut! When you first convert from a “mouth respirator,” you may feel like you are not getting enough air. This is a good sign and the media will benefit almost immediately. Just hold on, it will pass as you go through your shallow breathing exercises.

Be aware that you are trying to “secretly breathe” through your mouth by chewing on a pencil or finger, or by yawning more than a few times. If you start yawning madly and repeatedly, hold it back a bit and keep your mouth shut. An occasional yawn is to be enjoyed, stretched, and made a good yawn “noise”; it is good for stress relief.

To unblock your nose right now. You need some extra CO2, so after a short exhale, pinch your nostrils shut and hold your breath. [Your mouth is obviously closed at this time.] Hold until about 5 seconds after you have developed the feeling that you want to take a breath. [not need a breath], release your nostrils and allow only a small breath to come through your nose. Keep the CO2 in! It will be at least a little bit clearer. If it is still very blocked, repeat the process several times with about 5 seconds between each hold. Really restrict your breathing. Be like a statue and don’t move. [Keep your mouth closed!]

You may get blocked again as your breathing tries to increase to its previous level, but that’s okay, just repeat the procedure. All you have to do is trap a little more of the CO2 that you are producing inside.

A different way to do this is to keep your breathing at the same level but increase CO2 production. You can do it standing up and, without increasing your breathing, march on the ground. In no time you will feel your nose begin to clear, once it is clear, stop and restrict your breathing to keep the CO2 in.

If you are out of breath while walking, stop and reduce your breathing, it will mean that you have unconsciously increased your breathing and, in fact, you have lost more CO2.

Goodbye to pills and nasal sprays

You now have the ability to unblock your nose at any time without medication or surgery. If you follow why it crashes, you can reverse the process. The same procedure will also dry it out.

The best reason to keep your mouth shut

The final reason you must breathe through your nose is the most important reason for many. I find the most compelling reason for teens and kids is how you look when you wander around with your mouth open.

Take a moment to think about the movies. In a good youth movie there will be a “good boy”, a “main bad boy” and, usually, a pack of not too bright “assisting bad boys”. The main good guys and bad guys are smarter, and the actors who play them will keep their mouths shut. However, the actors who play the fools will automatically begin to “breathe through their mouths.” We will automatically unconsciously associate a lower intellect with an open mouth.

Try it yourself. Pretend you’re really stupid. Is your mouth open or closed? Now be “cool” [or whatever the current word is Rad? Kewl? ], and shut your mouth …….. or look silly.
