Nose breathing:

The act of nose breathing is an act that affects the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the system that calms us, and allows the healing of the body to occur. Oxygen taken in by nose breathing is heated, humidified, and filtered, because of this mixture the body can rapidly deliver this type of proper oxygenation blood, to the cells in the muscle systems, this is with out a doubt the biggest benefit as the results will be an overall wellness and health. For healthy cells to grow they absolutely need this oxygenated blood!

When we breathe though our nose we allow the proper mixing of the air intake, with a an amazing gas produced in the nasal sinuses called nitric oxide, this gas is a potent vasodilator, this dilatation of both the blood vessels, and in the lungs ,enhances the uptake of oxygen. This is due to the effect on the alveoli, the pulmonary vesicles that are expanded; nitric oxide is also produced in the walls of the blood vessels and is critical to all organs in the body. Nitric oxide previously was regarded and an environmental pollutant, but in the proper form, it is a must in the ability of the body to fight bacteria and virus.

By this nose breathing, the lymph fluid is move around the body, and supports the production of the white blood cells which are the fighting cells of the immune system.

Also the act of nose breathing pass’s the intake of air over the smell receptors, which has a direct effect on the taste buds , again this is one of the leading trip signals of the sub-conscious mind, programmed by experience of the recall memory of past events, and the new input of information as to present events.
