Debra’s Wellness Tips
Research has shown that breathing in through your nose has health benefits. When you breathe through your nose, the hairs filter out impurities.
Nasal breathing also warms and humidifies the air.
Additionally, when you breathe in through your nose nitric oxide, a colorless and odorless gas produced throughout the body (including by the paranasal sinues), follows the inhalation into your lungs.
Nitric oxide is a vasodilator. It increases blood flow, blood oxygen, and lowers blood pressure. (See Breathing Well for a humorous photo of me with my mouth taped shut helping me increase nitric oxide.)
This week, breathe deeply in through your nose. If you are stuffy, mouth breathing is OK, but when you can give your body the benefits of nose breathing.
