What is the Right Way to Breathe?

Stop. Are you mouth breathing right now? Are your lips apart or are they closed? If they are closed, you are breathing through your nose. If your lips are apart, you may be inhaling air through your mouth and don’t even realize it.

It is important that you breathe through your nose so that the air you inhale is clean and warm. If you mouth breathe, you are inhaling dirty, cold air. Learn more here.

Is mouth breathing associated with snoring? The next time your bed partner awakens you with a loud snore, look and see if his/her mouth is open or closed. You will probably find that the mouth is open and the air is being inhaled and exhaled through the mouth, causing a loud noise.

I was recently invited to speak at a local “study group” for dentists. They get together once a month to learn new things. They had heard about the IJustWantTo Correct My Tongue Thrust program and wanted me to tell them how it worked, as they all make appliances to help people stop snoring. The night that I met with the group, I was greeted by a dentist who told me that he and his wife had been married for 35 years and he had just had to leave their bedroom the night before because of her snoring. He was devastated!

Take a long slow breath in… now slowly breathe out. Even if you weren’t feeling stressed today, just taking those few moments to slow down and focus on your breathing probably felt pretty good and left you just a little more relaxed.

Stress affects everyone, every day, in at least some small amount. And usually, our bodies are exceptionally good at handling stress on their own. However, sometimes stress continues to build over time. Chronic stress can, over long periods of time, have substantial negative impacts on our physical and mental well-being.
