Tape your mouth shut.
By adding this final step to your nighttime routine, you can unlock the health benefits of nasal breathing.
Breathing through your nose has a special property that mouth breathing cannot give you,
That is Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide is produced in the nose and sinuses when you breathe in through your nose. This gas has some amazing health benefits to the body:
🔵Lowers blood pressure
🔵Increases lungs oxygen-absorbing capacity
🔵Has antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties
🔵Improved cardiovascular health
If you breathe through you nose the whole night, then you are experiencing the follow benefits as well:
🔵Increased REM and cognitive function
🔵Fewer cavities, and better breath
🔵Decreased illness from airborne pathogens (via nose-hairs)
We are meant to breathe through our noses.
Try taping your mouth shut at night. There are tapes out there made for this purpose.
You might feel better in the morning!
