What are the benefits of breathing through the nose

Some body functions decline with age, which may cause problems with your health. In severe cases, it may also cause some serious physical illnesses. Therefore, we must pay attention to maintaining normal body functions in normal times, and if problems arise, we must improve and treat them in a timely manner. So what are the benefits of breathing through the nose? Let’s talk about it today.

Soothes the mind

When you are feeling listless, breathing only through your right nostril can stimulate the sympathetic nerves in your left brain, making you feel excited and restoring your energy. On the contrary, if you are too nervous or excited and cannot calm down, you can switch to breathing through the left nostril. This can stimulate the parasympathetic nerves in the right brain and calm you. The method is to press one nostril with your finger and breathe only through the other nostril for a few moments.

Preventing Disease

The nasal hairs in the nose are like a dense "protective forest". Before the air is inhaled into the trachea, the mixed dust, bacteria, allergens, etc. in the air will be blocked and cannot enter the body; there is also mucus on the nasal mucosa, even if the bacteria pass through the "protective forest", they will be caught by the mucus;

The tonsil lymphatic tissue located deep in the nasal cavity will further block germs and allergens from entering the lungs. At the same time, the cold air entering the nasal cavity will be heated and humidified, reducing irritation to the throat and lungs. In addition, studies have found that breathing through the nose can help prevent rheumatoid arthritis, allergic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, ulcerative colitis and depression.

Weight loss and body shaping

Breathing through the nose can effectively absorb oxygen and help burn fat. It is recommended that you stand with your legs apart, with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width, before eating breakfast; raise your arms in a V shape, straighten your back and neck, tuck your chin in, close your mouth, and lift your anus. Inhale through your nose while tightening your abdomen, then exhale through your nose and relax your abdomen. Repeat this exercise several times depending on your personal situation.

There are many thick and long nose hairs in the nasal cavity, which can keep dust and other dirt out of the nasal cavity.

Sometimes, some coarse dust particles or irritating gases stimulate the nerve tissue in the nasal cavity, causing sneezing, which expels dust and harmful gases. The surface of the nasal cavity is also covered with a very thin mucous membrane, which often secretes some mucus, which adheres to the dust and bacteria that the nasal hair cannot block, so that they can be blown out with the nasal mucus;

Or it is handed over to the cilia that move continuously backwards, sent to the throat, and coughed out with phlegm. If you breathe through your mouth, the tongue, teeth, and saliva in your mouth will not be able to complete these tasks.

The above are the benefits of breathing through the nose. In normal times, we must adopt such good living habits to maintain our body. If you often use some bad living habits, your body will soon have some functional problems. This is very harmful to your health. It may cause danger to life safety.
