Recent Evolution Changed How We Breathe
- Facial shape and airway structure shifted rapidly in recent centuries due to diet and lifestyle changes.
- These changes made modern humans poorer breathers compared with ancestors.
Face Shape Predicts Breathing Efficiency
- Facial development correlates with breathing efficiency and athletic performance.
- Good breathers often have wider, prognathic facial structures that support better airflow.
Try Gradual Sleep Taping
- Test sleep mouth-breathing by checking for dry mouth, nighttime water drinking, and cavities.
- Try gradual sleep taping: start 10 minutes awake, increase over a week, then attempt a night sleep tape trial.
