Advertorial: Breathe your way to better health
Otrivin - Advertorial
How many times a day do you think about how you breathe?
If you’re like most of us, you don’t give it a second thought until you’re unable to do so — like when you’re congested due to a cold or allergies. Suddenly, everything becomes a little more difficult. That’s because breathing through our noses carries so many benefits. Here are just a few reasons you might want to clear out the congestion and get back to breathing freely.
A natural air filter
Your nose is filled with thousands of little hairs called cilia. These hairs have many functions including filtering, humidifying and warming or cooler the air before it enters the lungs. In doing so, cilia prevent particles of foreign matter from entering our bodies.
Increased energy
It takes longer to expel air from your lungs when you exhale through your nose, giving your lungs greater opportunity to absorb more oxygen. Increased oxygen levels lead to increased energy and vitality.
Reduce stress and anxiety
An efficient method of reducing your stress and anxiety levels is to simply slow down. Breathing through your nose helps you approach life at a more manageable pace.
Improved sleep
Failing to breathe well through our noses can aggravate snoring or an existing case of sleep apnea, a chronic condition that disrupts sleep and can lead to serious health issues.
Leave your mouth free for more important things
Nasal congestion due to a cold will often cause you to breathe through your mouth making it harder to do all the things your mouth is designed for including talking, eating & kissing.
