The benefits of nasal breathing are associated with how this breathing purifies, heats, moistens, and pressurizes the air. These changes to the air increase oxygen absorption by approximately 10-15%
Some quick facts about breathing through your nose: can lower blood pressure, help maintain a steady heart rate, and even help with memory consolidation.
Something surprising? Which nostril you inhale through can affect your body differently.
The right nostril is a gas pedal. When youโre inhaling primarily through this channel, circulation speeds up, your body get hotter, and cortisol levels, blood pressure, and heart rate all increase.
The left nostril is more deeply connected to the parasympathetic nervous system, the rest-and-relax side that lowers temperature and blood pressure, cools the body, and reduces anxiety.
The longest living animals have the lowest heart rates. Crucially, this low heart rate is associated with a lower respiration rate. Hence, the animals that breathe the least are living the longest. Learn to slow down your breaths, by breathing in through your nose.
The average adult only engages 10 percent of their diaphragm. This breathing leads to poor posture and respiratory problems. Breathing in evenly through your nose and out through your mouth combats this ( for example: try 5 seconds in and out).
*Thread coming on the diaphragm soon, as this muscle is too frequently overlooked. Fires over 23k times over the course of the day, so if something is off, everything is off*
