Speaker 1
look at the animal kingdom. Look at a cheetah running at a hundred kilometers per hour. How is it breathing? In and out through its nose. The only time that a horse starts breathing through its mouth is when it's sick. So that is a sign that it's sick. A horse running at a sprint is breathing through its nose. This is the organ we are designed to breathe through. And no one who has studied rhinology would argue otherwise. There are 30 different functions that the nose does for breathing. So not only does it help filter air out and heat air, but it helps capture moisture, about 40% more moisture. So you don't have to constantly be drinking water. When I see people jogging and they are breathing through their mouth and they're carrying like four different water bottles, they wouldn't need those water bottles if they just learned to breathe through their noses because the body is designed to capture that moisture. That's what the nose does and all those hairs do. 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
Speaker 2
oxide is is only happens in the nose nitric oxide yeah we get six times more nitric
Speaker 1
oxide just breathing through the nose. Six times more. How? And if you, because of all of these different tissues, 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 15 fold. So humming, you're going to annoy everyone if you do this, increases that nitric oxide 15-fold. And there was one study that showed this guy completely got rid of his rhinitis just by humming for about 10 minutes, four times a day. So these are simple tricks you can do. They are free, available for everyone. The humming also helps to calm the body down because we have the vagal nerve right vagus nerve vagal tone is right along here so when you hum you're sending signals to the vagus nerve and you're calming your body down what
Speaker 2
humming doing humming is stimulating
Speaker 1
more nitric oxide and allowing it to break free from all of those tissues so
Speaker 2
you're humming your nose like yeah
Speaker 1
and you can feel the vibration there so somebody sent me this device like three months ago that they now have a device for people who don't want to hum that goes on your nose and hums for you if that's going to help you hum you can do that but i've found it's just kind of easier to pick a song you like and hum that when
Speaker 2
you talk about the common cold and you know flu and infection did you see a clear correlation between people that had good breathing habits and the common cold and um bad breathing habits there
Speaker 1
have never been like a huge study done done on that on humming and nasal breathing in the common and there never will be right. No one's, no one's going to fund that. I can say anecdotally, absolutely. And if you look at the biochemistry, if you look at the physiology, if you look at all the functions of the nose, you can deduce, it seems very clear to me that you will be susceptible less to certain viruses, bacteria by breathing in and out of of your nose you
