I came across this and found it interesting. I have been doing my best at nose breathing for about a year now and I am never looking back! I feel amazing just by simply changing this habit.

I decided to post this because it seems to relate to the ideas of Ray Peat as far as increasing energy and cellular metabolism is concerned. After all breathing is pretty important lol.

I feel like this might be able to fill in the gaps for many people who are avoiding PUFA...etc... and are still not feeling better. Hopefully this will help some people as it as helped me incredibly.

Any comments please post bellow.

The DANGERS OF Mouth Breathing

• The tongue no longer provides support for the upper jaw with resulting reduced upper arch size.
• The vault rises leading to reduction in the size of the nasal passages contributing to congestion of nose.
• The pH of saliva elevates leading to increased rate of caries.
• A tendency to upper respiratory tract infections often resulting in tonsillitis and enlarged adenoids.
• The medullary trigger resets at lower level leading to hyperventilation.
• The alkalinity of blood increases so less oxygen released from the blood. This is known as the Bohr Effect.
• Oxygen circulates the blood in the form of oxy-haemoglobin but reduced levels of carboxy-haemoglobin mean that less oxygen is released from the oxy-haemoglobin to enter the tissues so cells die.
• Smooth muscle spasm. Gastric reflux, asthma and bed wetting are commonly associated with chronic mouth-breathing. SOURCE: http://www.sleephotline.com/Sleep/categories/Breathing-Sleep.html
