12 Days of Christmas Tips Day 1- Breathing

Day 1

Nasal Breathing

Why you should be a nasal breather

✨ It prevents snoring (which is extremely hard on your heart)💔

✨Breathing through the nose is good for the nervous system & puts the body in a parasympathetic state (rest & digest), instead of a sympathetic state (fight or flight).

✨Nasal breathing warms, filters & moistens the air you're taking in, which is better for your immune system! 

✨Nasal breathing gets rid of dry mouth, caused by snoring (which FYI is the leading cause of cavities).

✨Breathing through your nose increases the good bacteria in your mouth (which also helps to reduce your risk of cavities).

✨Nasal breathing reduces bruxism- teeth grinding (which wears down the enamel of your teeth).

✨Nasal breathing improves your sleep quality (so you wake up more refreshed).

✨Nasal breathing increases your body's production of nitric oxide (which is critical for keeping inflammation in the body at low levels, regulating blood pressure, increasing blood flow, keeping your memory sharp, & strengthening your immune system).

I’ve been a nasal breather for many years… ever since a dream as a child about eating a spider as I slept 😳

🧐If you're a mouth breather, or a snorer, your breathing is stressful breathing- the body perceives it as stressful.

🧐Mouth taping might be an easy solution to help you strengthen your body's ability to heal itself, while you sleep. It’s something that may be a little unusual, but is high on my list of recommendations- try it during the day time before trying at night.
