Your Miracle Nose – Pathway to the Lungs
The Bragg Super Power Breathing technique is the most essential part of The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle. Your nose and nasal passageways are essential factors in all your breathing. So it’s important that we understand the nose and the vital role it plays in breathing.
The nose is a system of passages and hollow spaces that link the external nose to the eyes, ears, mouth and throat. It is through this intricate pathway that oxygenrich air travels from our nose to our lungs. You might wonder why we have this complicated breathing mechanism made up of cartilage, bone and soft tissue organized into several pairs of hollow air-spaces called sinuses. When afflicted with some sinus or nasal complaint you might think it just can’t be worth all the trouble. After all, the mouth and throat seem to do the breathing work just fine — and it’s just a simple and direct air pathway to the lungs.
We Mostly Breathe Through the Nose
We do most breathing through the nose. That means that the oxygen required to nourish our bodies moves through the nose between 30,000 to 60,000 times a day, depending upon whether you are a shallow or deep, slow breather. So then, why is this part of our body so complex and a site of so many health complaints? The answer is that the nose is a lot more than just a pathway for air to get to the lungs, it’s a miracle part of your body.
Shallow breathing helps to increase symptoms of almost every known sickness.
A large percent of sinus problems are caused by bacteria, smoke, diet (milk, etc.). The quality of the blood depends largely upon its oxygenation in the lungs. – Basic Physiology
