Nose vs. Mouth

Nose breathing ‘activates’ our whole lung capacity and we have 5 lung lobes!  The mouth only activates the upper lobes. More oxygen, more nourishment for the cells, brain, organs and body.

Nose breathing stimulates the Vegas nerve, a super cool nerve that starts at the base of the spine, and weaves into every major organ in our body. When we give it a “hug”, squeezing our tummy muscles inward by exhaling through our nose, the Vegas nerve messages our brain and body to releases feel good hormones and enzymes called Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin.
