1. Nose
filters out things that would cause severe damage to
our lungs, including bacteria, pollens, dust, mites,
other organic material, fungus, etc. If these were to
go via our mouth and reach our lungs — we would have
greater chance of disease. If you really want to get
sick, find someone with the flu, and take big deep
breaths through your mouth in front of them. Just
breathing through your nose will reduce your chance
of infections.
2. The nose
humidifies and temperature-controls the air. Your
lungs are very wet, and also do not like temperature
changes. Air that reaches your lungs via your mouth
is dryer and further from body temperature than air
through your nose. It is a built in humidifier and
air conditioner. You do not need a room humidifier if
you close your mouth!
3. You will
breathe less through your nose. There are two small
holes versus one big gob. The balance of gases in
your body is upset if you breathe more than is
appropriate. 4. This the reason that most children
older than 6 years will use to keep their mouth
closed. If you were to ask your children to be
actors, and play the part of someone who was really
dumb, stupid and uncool[?], would their mouths be
open or closed? The answer is that it you want to
look dumb, then let your jaw hang. [“A slack-jawed
yokel”?] How do you look with your mouth hanging
open? DUMB!
Rule
Always breathe
through your nose. There is only one reason that it
will block up — and that is because you are breathing
like an elephant. You are not an elephant, and your
body will try and make you breathe less — it will
make your nose block up, and make your lungs get
wheezy, and will make you cough.
The
System
The goal is to
alter your child’s breathing pattern by having them
breathe only through the nose, by having them do
specific exercises called steps, and by making them
understand the relationship between the depth of
breathing and conditions like asthma and
blocked/itchy/runny nose.
