Episode 7: Inhale

Genesis 2:7 says, "Then the LORD God formed the man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being"

The best way to inhale is in the nose and out the nose.

  • This is how you get the optimum amount of oxygen.
    • Proper oxygen gives 36x more energy to the brain.
      • Benefits of breathing in the nose:
      • Purifies the air
        • Humidifies the air
          • Warms the air
            • Balances the blood gases
              • Pressurizes the air for lungs

                • Mouth breathing can cause issues:

                • Potential issues with chronic mouth breathing:
                  • Dry mouth: Can lead to bad breath and gum problems 
                    • Facial development issues: In children, prolonged mouth breathing can affect jaw structure and facial development 
                      • Increased risk of infection: By bypassing the filtering mechanism of the nose, mouth breathing may expose you to more airborne pathogens

                        • Air Purifier:

                        • Key reasons to use an air purifier:
                          • Alleviates allergies: Effectively filters out allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, which can significantly reduce allergy symptoms. 
                            • Asthma management: Helps manage asthma symptoms by minimizing airborne irritants that can trigger attacks. 
                              • Improved sleep: Cleaner air can lead to better sleep quality by reducing respiratory irritation. 
                                • Odor removal: Carbon filters in air purifiers can absorb and neutralize unpleasant smells from cooking, pets, or other sources.

                                  • LSD(long slow deep):

                                  • Can help with stress, anxiety, and other health issues. Breathing exercises can help you relax, reduce tension, and improve your mood. 
                                    • Stress relief: Calming the nervous system: Deep breathing activates the relaxation response, which can help you feel more comfortable and calm 
                                      • Reducing stress hormones: Deep breathing can help reduce the amount of stress hormones in your body 
                                        • Lowering blood pressure and heart rate: Deep breathing can help keep your heart rate and blood pressure from rising too high 
                                          • Reducing anger responses: Breathing techniques can help reduce anger responses
