Introduction

This video discusses the significant health benefits of nasal breathing versus mouth breathing, particularly highlighting the role of nitric oxide production and its impact on immune function and overall well-being. The speaker also explores the impact of modern diets and lifestyle on facial structure and breathing patterns, especially in children.

Key Takeaways

• Nasal breathing is superior: Nasal breathing offers numerous advantages over mouth breathing, including better air filtration, moisture capture, and nitric oxide production.
• Nitric oxide's crucial role: Nitric oxide, produced in the nasal passages, plays a vital role in vasodilation, circulation, and fighting viruses and bacteria. Humming increases nitric oxide production significantly.
• Facial structure and breathing: Modern diets, particularly the consumption of processed foods, have led to changes in facial structure, resulting in smaller airways and poorer breathing habits. This is particularly detrimental to children.
• Early intervention is key: Poor breathing habits in children, often resulting from underdeveloped facial structures, can lead to various health problems (asthma, allergies, ADHD, etc.). Addressing breathing patterns early is crucial.
• Breastfeeding and chewing: Extended breastfeeding (2 years minimum) and consumption of firm foods requiring more chewing are beneficial for facial development and proper airway development.

Citations: The transcript mentions nitric oxide multiple times, emphasizing its production in the nasal passages and its various benefits. Here are some excerpts:

• "and then there's nitric oxide which is this miraculous molecule that plays an essential role in vasodilation circulation and more and it kills viruses and bacteria this all happens in the nose this does not happen in the mouth nitrous oxide is is only happens in the nose nitric oxide yeah we get six six times more nitric oxide just breathing through the nose six times more how i don't know and if you because of all of these different tissues they they release nitric oxide and there is some science showing that this boost of nitric oxide can significantly help us defend more from viruses and bacteria including colds so breathing in and out through the nose there's a lot of work in nitric oxide and covid rehabilitation who knew we can produce so much of it in our noses and if you hum you can increase that to 15fold so humming you're going to annoy everyone if you do this increases that nitric oxide 15fold"
• "Humming is stimulating more nitric oxide and allowing it to break free from all of those tissues so you're humming your nose like yeah and you can feel the vibration there"

These citations show the speaker's strong emphasis on the importance of nitric oxide produced through nasal breathing for immune function and overall health. The increased production through humming is also highlighted.
