Mouth Breathing Versus Nose BreathingAir that is inhaled through the mouth is not thoroughly filtered. Constant mouth breathing can cause constriction of blood vessels in the long term. People who practice mouth breathing are more likely to suffer from various ailments including runny nose, asthma, dry cough, lower levels of energy and even crooked teeth. Of course, if you suffer from halitosis (bad breath) you probably avoid breathing through the mouth. Mouth breathing makes it difficult to kiss for an extended period. We also miss out on pleasant fragrances. There is no denying that most of us look better with our mouths shut, and it is more socially acceptable to breathe through the nose. Mouth breathing is closely related to snoring. People who breathe through the mouth are more likely to be heavy snorers. They could also suffer from irregular breathing during sleep. It is estimated that as many as 85 percent of snorers sleep with their mouth open. Breathing is something you can learn from babies. Virtually all newborns breathe through the nose, not through the mouth. Also Read: |
