Just Breathe

The most natural thing for any human to do is to breathe. Because of different experiences in life, it is not surprising that a lot of us have forgotten to breathe properly. Some of us mostly do just half-breaths wherein we are not inhaling in full capacity like babies whose breathing are noticeable with the rise and fall of the tummy area. Some of us mostly breathe through our mouths probably because of our allergies.

It is very important to breathe through the nose because unlike the mouth, our noses are able to filter dust and other particles from the air. Secondly, when we breathe through the nose, nitric oxide is released from the sinuses. Why is that important? Nitric oxide is a vasodilator which relaxes the muscular walls of blood vessels. This leads to a relaxed and better blood flow that eases blood pressure.
