  • 28 Reasons to Nose Breathe

    28 Reasons to Nose Breathe
    Apr 10 2024
    Welcome back to another episode of Ask The Dentist. I’m Dr. B, and today I am going to explore the often-overlooked benefits of nose breathing. In referencing “28 Reasons To Nose Breathe,” I will delve into how nose breathing supports blood flow, immune function, and even cools the brain. Reflecting on both ancestral and modern perspectives on mouth breathing's dental risks, we spotlight the multitude of health improvements linked to nose breathing. In this episode I’ll discuss the 28 reasons to breathe through your nose, plus one, for a healthier life. Topics Discussed: 06:42 - #1 The nose warms the incoming air to the optimal temperature for the lungs 08:28 - #2 Nose breathing moisturizes the incoming air 10:07 - #3 The hairs and membranes of the nose filter the air during inhalation 12:54 - #4 Movement of air through the nose keeps the environment around the auditory tubes free from stagnating debris 14:40 - #5 Nose breathing triggers the release of antibacterial molecules helping to clean the incoming air 15:44 - #6 Air coming in through the nose stimulates the release of odiferous molecules 18:26 - #7 Nose breathing sensitizers us to the quality of the air 19:01 - #8 Nose breathing increases our sense of smell, linking it to the limbic system 20:00 - #9 Nose breathing brings air into the sphenoid sinuses to cool the pituitary gland and help regulate body temperature 21:28 - #10 Breathing through the nose keeps the nasal passages open 22:23 - #11 Having a clear nasal passage allows light to reach the pituitary gland through the sphenoid sinus to help regulate sleeping patterns 23:39 - #12 Nose breathing activates movement at several head and neck joints 25:33 - #13 Breathing through the nose lightens the head and lessens the chance of sinus infections 26:50 - #14 In children, breathing through the nose helps to form the sinuses by activating their growth with the movement of air 28:27 - #15 Nose breathing moves the air to pass along the nasal septum 32:16 - #16 Nose breathing allows the excess tears to have a clear passageway for drainage 33:05 - #17 Nose breathing facilitates the production of nitric oxide and sterilizes the air in the sinuses on the way to the lungs 34:08 - #18 Nose breathing reduces the volume of carbon dioxide released during exhalation 37:33 - #19 Nose breathing adds a huge reservoir of sensation to tap into and to deepen your connection to yourself 38:38 - #20 Breathing through the nose allows air to pass by the structures that mark the center of the head 39:34 - #21 Nose breathing facilitates a deep meditation 40:55 - #22 Nose breathing reduces anxiety 41:19 - #23 Nose breathing reduces snoring 42:49 - #24 Nose breathing activates the production of amino globulins to strengthen the immune system 43:30 - #25 Nose breathing helps increase the fluctuation of the cerebrospinal fluid 44:24 - #26 Air must contact olfactory nerves to stimulate your brain 45:26 - #27 Breathing through your mouth causes the tissues in your nose and other airways to swell and become congested, making it more difficult to breathe 47:31 - #28 Breathing through the mouth tends to inflate only the upper lobes of the lungs 50:10 - Additional practices to help improve breathing 52:46 - Mouth breathers are more prone to cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and overall poor oral health Show Links: Check Out My NEW Line of Toothpaste and Professional Dental Varnish!!
