Are you aware :: where most of our energy comes from?
No, I won’t dive into food … today!
Air <> Breathing
Such a subconscious activity yet a doorway to premium health - breathing is a pillar right alongside sleep, movement, food.
We take about 25,000 breaths a day… but are we doing so in a way that best supports our well-being?
What type are you - a nose or mouth breather?
Nerd tip :: breathing through our nose forces air through ornate structures, it’s heated up, moistened, filtered >> a huge profusion of nitric oxide is released, which helps kill viruses and bacteria, fights inflammation; it’s nature's vasodilator, improving our blood flow and circulation!
However, mostly at night - more than 60% of humans breathe through our mouths.
Breathing through the mouth at night - literally changes our PH making us more susceptible to cavities, periodontal disease.
Mouth breathing can cause ::
extreme fatigue
blood pressure spikes
trouble focusing
increased stress
athletic performance dips
So, how do we circumvent?
Simple tweaks to our posture
sit or stand tall, spine straight and take a deep breath
Chin straps were worn 100 years ago overnight to keep mouths closed
we now have ‘sleep tape’
+even the act of humming has proven major impact on our energy + immunity.
Give one or all a try and ritualize them to experience the energy boost on the other side!
