Episode notes
Mouth Breathing vs. Nose Breathing
- Mouth breathing makes you more susceptible to respiratory problems and can even change your facial structure.
- Nose breathing filters, humidifies, and pressurizes air, leading to better oxygen absorption.
Breathing Less
- Breathing too much can actually decrease oxygen circulation to extremities, leading to coldness or tingling.
- Slow breathing increases circulation and oxygen delivery.
Hypoventilation Training
- Practice "hypoventilation training" by breathing less to mimic altitude training's effects.
- This increases red blood cell production and improves oxygen utilization.
