Nasal Breathing

Breathing through your nose helps your lungs be more efficient in absorbing oxygen. It also activates the lower part of the lungs when we are doing deep breathing exercises. Breathing through your nose also serves as an aerobic exercise for your lungs to help them function from 80% to 100%.

Benefits of Nasal Breathing

Breathing through your nose has some major health benefits. It keeps the air moist and warm before it enters your lungs. Nose breathing helps to relax blood vessels for healthy blood pressure and stress maintenance. It also supports better oxygen delivery to your cells.
