NoseFlow Inspiration
NoseFlow was inspired by Dr. Mike Mew’s groundbreaking work in orthotropics and proper oral posture. His research shows that simply keeping your mouth closed and breathing through your nose can significantly affect facial structure and airways. This aligns perfectly with NoseFlow’s mission – helping you maintain proper oral posture through gentle reminders when mouth breathing is detected, supporting your journey toward better breathing habits naturally.
Nose Breathing benefits
Nasal breathing strengthens muscles in the nose that have been left weak from mouth breathing, ultimately opening up airways and improving sleep by reducing snoring & sleep apnea. Nose breathing also filters out dust & allergens, enhances oxygen intake, humidifies the air, supports dental health, promotes proper facial development, and reduces stress.
Improved Sleep Quality (reduce snoring)
Nasal breathing is a workout for the nose muscles helping to create a more robust streamline passage for air.
This can reduce snoring and lower the risk of sleep apnea by keeping the airway open and stable during sleep. This promotes deeper, more restorative uninterrupted sleep, leading to enhanced daytime alertness and energy levels and potentially reducing reliance on sleep aids or CPAP machines.
Facial Structure and jaw line improvement
Nasal breathing with a closed mouth and a tongue touching the roof of the mouth just behind the teeth promotes proper facial development and jaw posture. This leads to forward facial growth, resulting in a well-shaped face with adequate space for teeth.
In contrast, mouth breathing can cause the face to grow longer and narrower, potentially leading to crowded teeth and altered facial appearance. Proper breathing habits are therefore crucial for optimal facial structure and dental alignment.
Filters, Humidifies & Warms air intake
Your nose prepares air for your lungs, offering protection and efficiency:
- Improves oxygen absorption in the lungs
- Filters out dust, allergens, and harmful particles
- Warms and humidifies incoming air
- Reduces respiratory irritation and inflammation
Boost Your Nitric Oxide
Nasal breathing produces nitric oxide in your nasal cavity, which is crucial for your body’s function:
- Nitric oxide also has antimicrobial properties, helping to protect your body from infections.
- Improves endurance, stamina, and recovery time
- Acts as a vasodilator, relaxing blood vessels
- Enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles and organs
Increased Oxygen Intake
Breathing through your nose allows your body to use oxygen more efficiently. The nasal passages help regulate airflow, ensuring that your lungs receive a steady and controlled supply of oxygen.
Nose breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress as well as encouraging diaphragmatic breathing, which improves lung capacity and efficiency.
Promote Oral Health
Nasal breathing helps maintain proper moisture levels in the mouth, reducing the risk of dry mouth.
This ultimately reduces risk of cavities and gum disease long-term.
Saliva plays a crucial role in oral health, including its antimicrobial properties and its ability to help remineralize teeth.
