Nasal breathing seeks to solve a chronic problem found around the world, low-level hyperventilation.
Have you ever seen someone hyperventilate in panic or fear?
Notice a few things...
1) open-mouthed #breathing
2) rapid cadence of #breath
3) no pause btwn exhale/inhale
Many of us exhibit these symptoms at a lower magnitude each day. This can be due to stress, digestion issues, excessive sitting, or issues with #posture. Many of us simply #breathe too much and as a result, we cause a deficiency of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our blood. While we typically think of CO2 as a waste product, the actual #physiology of this gas is much more complicated.
The important things that you need to know are:
CO2 is necessary to oxygenate tissues (via the #bohreffect)
CO2 opens your airways - a lack of CO2 can cause the constriction of airways including the nasal passages
CO2 reduces histamine levels in the blood - very important for allergy sufferers.
