Nasal breathing seeks to solve a chronic problem found around the world, low-level hyperventilation. 

Have you ever seen someone hyperventilate in panic or fear?

Notice a few things...

1) open-mouthed #breathing 

2) rapid cadence of #breath 

3) no pause btwn exhale/inhale 

Many of us exhibit these symptoms at a lower magnitude each day. This can be due to stress, digestion issues, excessive sitting, or issues with #posture. Many of us simply #breathe too much and as a result, we cause a deficiency of carbon dioxide (CO2) in our blood. While we typically think of CO2 as a waste product, the actual #physiology of this gas is much more complicated. 

The important things that you need to know are: 

CO2 is necessary to oxygenate tissues (via the #bohreffect)

CO2 opens your airways - a lack of CO2 can cause the constriction of airways including the nasal passages

CO2 reduces histamine levels in the blood - very important for allergy sufferers.
