Mouth Breathing VS. Nose Breathing

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>Quick, which one are you doing now.</p>

<p>They say nose breathing is more natural because it catches the dirt and stuff with your nostril hairs while the mouth just sucks everything in. Also, I just read that mouth breathing gives you sleep/attention and an abnormal facial structure but I take that with a grain of salt.</p>

<p>I think I might be doing a combination of both. Trying to convert to nose breathing atm…</p>

2

<p>Same. I’ve been doing a lot of mouth-breathing lately, and that form of breathing doesn’t have the extra line of defense against dust, etc. that nose-breathing has.</p>

3

<p>I prefer nose breathing, that’s the nose’s job, not my mouth.</p>

4

<p>When i was younger, I used to breathe from my mouth literally 95% of the time. and then my mom put tape over my mouth so I got used to breathing from my nose. Now I’m normal and I breathe through my nose 95% of the time. :D</p>

<p>both</p>

<p>10 char</p>

6

<p>you should always nose breath. why do you think dogs die at a younger age than us? because they mouth breath.</p>

7

<p>Why would you ever want to breath with your mouth? O.o I only do that when I run and am absolutely pooped, at which point I can’t help it/don’t consciously think about it.</p>

8

<p>It’s just something people get used to as they grow, like using right/left hand primarily.</p>

<p>And dogs are a totally different species.</p>

9

<p>I nose breathe all the time.
The only exceptions are when my nose is stuffed up or I’m swimming because in both instances, it’s pretty much impossible to nose breathe.</p>

10

<p>inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth</p>

11

<p>Mostly with the nose, but with my mouth when I’m running.</p>

12

<p>What is the *****ing point of these threads…
Go get a hobby or something.</p>

14

<p>^^ how is cellular respiration not interesting </p>

<p>■■■■ now</p>

15

<p>I’ve got really bad allergies and my nose is plugged up almost all the time. Needless to say, I’m a mouth breather.</p>

<p>@gotmilk
I kinda doubt that’s the primary reason we live longer than them. :P</p>

16

<p>I only breathe through my mouth when I’m running.</p>
