Stop Mouth Breathing (it just might change your life)

<p>In todays episode, were talking about mouth breathing and what we can do about it.</p> <p>Given the pace of life, if there is a simple, cost effective action we can take to reduce our level of sympathetic (fight or flight) activation, we want to do it. If you are mouth breathing while sleeping, it might be time to look into taping your mouth closed vertically, to get the most out of those 7-9 hours you are in bed each night.</p> <p>Mouth breathing also has an impact on facial development. If you want your teeth to last and not be subconscious about your breath, you got to keep those lips closed.</p> <p>Mouth breathing causes lower pH in the oral cavity and dries out the mouth. Saliva is meant to neutralize acid in the mouth and flush away bacteria. When this isnt happening, it opens the door to tooth erosion and gum inflammation.</p> <p>Mouth breathing can increase cognitive issues because of lowered oxygen saturation. The brain needs lots of oxygen for all its activities.</p> <p> </p> <p>Want 12 of my favorite, simple and delicious recipes?</p> <p>Download the Healthy Meals Made Easy PDF</p> <p>⬇️⬇️⬇️ http://go.drwholeness.com/healthymealsmadeeasy</p> <p>Ask your lifestyle health questions on social media, tag @drwholeness and use #accumulatehealth.</p> <p>--</p> <p>Connect with Dr. Matt online:</p> <p>📍 Instagram </p> <p><a href= "https://instagram.com/drwholeness">https://instagram.com/drwholeness</a></p> <p>📍 Facebook</p> <p><a href= "https://facebook.com/drwholeness">https://facebook.com/drwholeness</a></p> <p>📍 Website</p> <p><a href= "https://drwholeness.com/">https://drwholeness.com</a></p> <p>📍 YouTube</p> <p><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxjrZpVN_JrfqaRdb9Z16rw/r</a></p>
