So next time you're considering a purchase or taking a breath, remember the small changes that can make a big difference.

    • Benefits of Nose Breathing: Warming, Moistening, and Filtering AirNose breathing activates lower lobes of lungs, increases oxygenation, releases nitric oxide, and lowers blood pressure

      Nose breathing is more beneficial for our health than mouth breathing. Our bodies are equipped with various mechanisms, such as turbinates, mucosa, and cilia, in our nasal airways that warm, moisten, and filter the air we breathe in. This process not only provides better oxygenation but also encourages deep diaphragmatic breathing, which activates the lower lobes of our lungs, increasing the percentage of blood oxygenated and releasing nitric oxide, a vasodilator that opens up blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, leading to better health and relaxation.

    • Efficient Hiring on LinkedIn and Impactful Breathing in FitnessSmall businesses can efficiently find qualified candidates on LinkedIn within 24 hours, while nose breathing during exercise can lead to lower breathing rates and reduced perceived exertion.

      Hiring quality candidates for small businesses has been made easier and more efficient through LinkedIn. With over 86% of small businesses obtaining a qualified candidate within 24 hours, LinkedIn's intuitive, quick, and easy hiring process sets it apart from competitors. Meanwhile, in the realm of fitness, a study by Dr. John Dulliard revealed a significant difference between nasal and mouth breathing during exercise. Nose breathers had a much lower breathing rate of 14 breaths per minute compared to mouth breathers' 48 breaths per minute. This difference not only affects breathing patterns but also the perception of exertion, with nose breathers reporting a lower level of exertion compared to mouth breathers during maximum capacity exercises. Despite this, the popularity of nose-opening strips for athletes seems to have faded, with some questioning their effectiveness. Whether in hiring or fitness, these findings highlight the importance of making small yet impactful adjustments for optimal results.

    • Improve breathing for better health and exerciseNose breathing increases lung capacity, enhances exercise experience, and leads to a healthier lifestyle. Practice coherent breathing for noticeable improvements in a short time.

      Improving your breathing technique can lead to significant health benefits and enhance your overall exercise experience. Nose breathing, in particular, can help increase lung capacity and lead to a healthier lifestyle, as shown in a 30-year study published in the Journal of Chest. This practice is also crucial in meditation and is known as coherent breathing, which involves breathing in for five to six seconds and exhaling for the same duration. While the inhale may feel easier, the exhale can be more challenging. However, with consistent practice, noticeable improvements can be achieved in a short amount of time.

    • The importance of stretching and deep breathing for wellbeingStretching and deep breathing can significantly impact overall wellbeing, beneficial at any age, and helpful for managing anxiety symptoms through longer exhales.

      While exercise is important for maintaining good health and extending life, it's not the only factor. The simple acts of stretching and deep breathing can also have significant impacts on our overall wellbeing. Anxiety sufferers are encouraged to try longer exhales to help manage symptoms. These fundamental practices can be beneficial at any age, making it never too late to start incorporating them into daily routines.
