What triggers the need to breathe isn't lack of oxygen; it's an increase in CO2. So, if you exhale right now and just hold your breath for 30 seconds or whatever, and you feel that need to breathe, that's C02; it's not
oxygen.
Hypoventilation Training Aids Acclimation to High CO2 Levels
The nose is the first line of defense. It filters stuff out, produces nitric oxide, which interacts directly with viruses. There's innumerable benefits to nasal
breathing.
Nasal Breathing Increases Oxygen Intake By 20%
Slower breathing, by breathing less, can really help people with asthma. Asthmatics as a population tend to breathe way more than the rest of us, and they tend to breathe from their
mouth.
Asthmatics Tend to Breath Through Their Mouths; Slow Nasal Breathing Improves Symptoms
If you're talking about how breathing is healing people, this is not some crazy placebo effect. This is physiological. This is the most basic medicine of how the how the body works and how it can retain
balance.
Slow Breathing Stimulates the Parasympathetic Response, Decreasing Inflammation
All you need to do is look at skulls from 400 years ago and look at skulls now, and they've massively changed—especially in the mouth. Our mouths have grown so small, our teeth no longer fit, which is why they grow in

Compared to 400 Years Ago, People Today Have Smaller Mouths
When kids get inflamed adenoids or tonsils, they have to breathe through their mouth. And if you do this for so many years, it can actually change the skeleture of your
face.
Chronic Mouth Breathing Changes the Shape of Your Face
Breathing through the mouth will release 40% more moisture than breathing through the
nose.
Mouth Taping While Sleeping Facilitates Nasal Breathing, Preventing Dehydration
Breathing is something a lot of us do 25,000 times a day. If you can do it more efficiently, you're going to have huge benefits from this as has been clearly studied and
seen.
