Lol. It's like how my parents' generation were always being told to stand up straight by their parents. They were on to something. Then slouching and the whole hip hop style seemed to become cool, which seemed to just be a disservice to many. Same with the fact we are all looking down at our phones so much.
I recognized my son to be a mouth breather when he was 3. I pushed his pediatrician to take it seriously. He gave us a prescription for steroids. I didn't even get it filled. My son pronounced letter "M" like a "B". Hi Mom was Hi Bob. He could not breath through his nose. He sounded like a 2 ton walrus snoring. I grew impatient with the doc and went directly to an ENT doc. Insurance didn't approve but that's another story. Doc heard him speak and promply said he needs his adenoids out. Fast forward in the surgical waiting room one by one the docs would inform waiting parents that their kid was OK and the kid had 40%, 50%, 30% blockage. My guy came and said my son had 100% blockage. Looking back we determined that was why he couldn't breast feed. It wasn't for lack of trying but with his mouth engaged on the nipple he had no way to breath. All the "specialists" we saw for that, not one even considered that to be the cause. When we have told docs that they kind of roll their eyes and blow it off as nonsense.
Yea, well, they're constantly told by society that they're smart and know everything so they would have to be very self aware to recognise they're wrong.
Highly recommend James Nestor's book "breathe". In the span of 4 days of practicing some of his breathing exercises I gradually went from BP of 126/89 to 122/82 to 117/80. It was higher before starting these exercises which was reason I began tracking with home device after my dentist commented during a routine cleaning. Going to continue and hope to see progress. Thank you James!
i mean…that’s an extremely normal range to experience throughout the day. There’s nothing at all about those numbers that suggest anything beyond typical variation that anyone could expect.
I’ve been exclusively nose breathing for two weeks. NEVER GOING BACK. Wow. I’ve never been more calm and happy. I’m always ok now in the workplace. When others are angry, lost and frustrated, I’m sooooo comfy and just like, “it is what it is, let’s rock it out, I love you!” Lol Nose breathing is the easiest thing people can do to be and feel better. It’s honestly embarrassing that it’s not a fundamental in school. There’s a reason “mouth breather” is an insult.
It's hard not to do things like this when it's pretty much your whole life. The dude eats, sleeps, and breathes (hah!) Martial Arts, and he's not trying to make it into a pissing contest, he's trying to relate to James by drawing on his own past experiences.. The only past experience he has with breathing is, naturally, martial arts. Lol Have people seriously been locked in their homes for so long that they're forgetting how conversation is formed? Lmao
Damn right its kinda hard to keep it going but I think I was taught to breath by the nose when I was a kid in sports so I guess I am lucky. One thing is it would suck if you get sick with a runny or blocked nose
I know it’s been a year since this post but I’m only watching this now. I was a mouth breather but once I started cycling now for 12 years I really noticed the importance of nose breathing. Not only have my nostrils dilated but what a difference it made on my mindset just by consistently practicing nose breathing while riding. Thank you for this video
I’ve worked outdoors year round in northern Canada for 4 decades. Mouth breathing can freeze your lungs at -35. In summer mouth breathing will suck mosquitoes down your throat. When I boxed in the 80s my nose got messed up and I’ve struggled ever since. When I see people jogging with closed mouth I envy them.
Growing up I raced very competitively in dirt go karts. It's actually pretty intense. I never really realized it but while competing on the track and being really in the zone, I strictly breathed through my nose. Somehow it just gives you a rhythm and keeps you calm to stay consistent and accurate. I was sick one time and went to a track somewhere and because my sinuses were inflamed I couldn't breathe through my nose. It was a mess. I was very noticibly just off and inconsistent. I attributed it to not being able to breathe correctly and keep up a rhythm. I suspect it works the same way with about any other sport. Interesting how such a seemingly small thing would have that kind of effect.
As a coach I've pushed all my clients for years to breath in the through the nose and put through the moth - it changes athletes notably almost instantly while training
For the last few years I've been training myself to breathe using photosynthesis when exercising. Progress is slow since I never actually exercise, but the doctor says I am very close to achieving a vegetative state. That's gotta count for something.
I am a mouth breather and so was my father. It is worse now that I am older. I am a smoker, my father was not. There's crap in the water in Ocean Beach, and on the beach itself. I grew up in Fla......and we don't even remember how we learned to swim as kids, we just did, and always underwater holding our breath. One day I'll never forget, found myself "breathing" underwater. Scared the heck out of me when I realized I was hearing a "breath".
Growing up my mom and grandma had lots of cats and smoked. This made my sinuses stay congested, and I had to always breathe out of my mouth. This really messed up my jaws and the general look of my face. I did have surgery to get more airflow in my nose, and now I can breath out of it even when exercising. I have noticed that with my new nose breathing I do not get sick nearly as often as before.
No lie, I've had asthma most of my life and usually used my inhaler 5-10 times per day. Ever since nose-breathing and taping my mouth shut at night, I'm averaging 1-2 times per day and it's only my 3rd day.
i like how we can google shit in 5 seconds flat, but people just spew shit. I was confounded at first too, 5 words later i found out its perfectly safe to tape your mouth at night (also i like your lessons mike :)
Asthma inhalers are pretty weird. For me at least, even though I felt the need to take them everyday, one day I just decided to stop to see how it went. I felt fatigue for a few days and suddenly it stopped, I've never felt the need to use my inhalers anymore since then and I get so much less exhausted when exercising. Tho, I should attribute that to aging and working out more and what I experienced was just a coincidence
My running coach for track and filled along with a completely separate coach that I had for soccer both always stressed in through your nose out to your mouth.... and tbh I think their wisdom went beyond understanding the details but now hearing it be explained why it was better is so awesome because you could definitely see improvement in running performance by using breathing techniques but we never knew the science behind it we just knew if we did it we performed better.
@@susannahb2723 I'm really thankful for anybody commenting on this. Every time, I remember to keep breathing through my nose for another minute and a half. Keep up the good work.
This literally change my life, I am truck driver and in the summer when I used ice I will get sick. Fatigue, headache, brain fog I almost quite my job. Saw this he mentioned about ice and try nose breathing and mouth tape. So many benefits thank joe.
I had all sorts of problems as a child. I had hooping cough, bronchitis always getting colds. I stopped catching flies when I was 13, I've been a nose breather ever since. I haven't had a cold in over 10 years.
I once saw a comedian on tv and his skit mentioned how kids would bully him as a child because he would breath through his mouth and would call him Darth Vader. He mentioned how he was an underachiever and didn't do well at school and had learning problems and low self esteem. Long story short, he found out as an adult that he had a deviated septum that was causing it and his parents had never questioned it. It was the reason he sucked at school an would get teased. He eventually got surgery to correct it and realized alot of his life's problems were because of something that went undiagnosed until he was an adult. Because if you can't get enough oxygen when you sleep, you'll be very tired the next day and won't be able to focus. His story made me very sad for him. I don't remember who that comedian was and I would really like to know so that I could thank him because when my daughter was a toddler I began to notice that she would snore, which didn't seem normal because she was not overweight. Then I began to notice that she was breathing through her mouth and I immediately thought about that comedian and how kids would tease him by calling him Vader. I didn't want that for my daughter. Ikept telling her mother that it was not normal but the pediatrician kept telling her that it was and that she would grow out of it. We would argue about it alot and she would always tell me that I was not a doctor and that I was being paranoid. One day I finally had enough and we had a huge argument and I told her that I was gonna take my daughter to a different doctor and mom agreed to take her for a second opinion. The specialist ended up discovering that my daughter had abnormally large tonsils that were making it hard for her to breathe through her nose. Fortunately, enlarged tonsils are easy to correct and we had them removed. Afterwards, I was shocked at how much my daughter's breathing had improved. The difference was almost immediate. Within less than a week there was no more snoring, no more mouth breathing, and I noticed my daughter had so much more energy. Again, I was floored. I suspect that the reason it took a few days for her to start breathing normal again was because she was already used to breathing from her mouth instead of her nose. My daughter's mom felt guilty afterward for doubting me. And to think that I could have been unaware like many parents if I hadn't see that comedy skit and paid attention. Sorry for the long post but doctors don't always have all the answers, so trust your parental instinct and always get more that one opinion.
glad you could notice it before it affected your daughter in a significant way, makes me wonder how much people have this and are unaware since it’s such an easy thing to just disregard
@@dingdong8629 thank you! Actually, today is my daughter's 11th birthday and she's still healthy and full of energy. Yes, I'm sure there are a lot of cases out there that people are not aware of. Our experience also helped us guide another family that we know whose daughter had a similar issue with the tonsils. We gave them alot of advice and recommendations. They were amazed at the difference in their daughter's breathing aftet they had the procedure.
@@fkncompton7124 Uhh, no. Most people breathe through both nostrils at once. Unless you have sinus problems, allergies or some other underlying condition.
Very likely you have low reaction allergies to wheat or dairy. If I eat a pizza, my sinuses will blow up. I know it happens, but will still have one on occasion. You could also be dealing with a fungal infection that is left over from having a cold. There are some essential oils you can steam with that will clear it out. Also consider using a netti pot on a semi regular basis.
That's normal, it's called the nasal cycle. The purpose is to keep the breathing side always moist. Breathing takes away moisture, so the blocked side is slowly regaining moisture until the switch occurs.
You probably are intolerant to something in your diet or live in a polluted area. Try reducing wheat/diary and red meat, they're the most common ones. There are some unusual ones, like for me it's onions, tomato and cucumber. Doesn't make me sick, just a bit worse than normal
“ we are treating all these separate problems and we are not looking at the core issues” YES I’ve been preaching this. It has always shocked me how doctors aren’t educated about oral function. Providers usually “put bandaids” on issues by prescribing medications or saying everything is normal instead of finding the root cause and fixing it. For example if a baby isn’t physically able to breastfeed despite good maternal anatomy and a lactation consultant sees a tongue tie restricting necessary movement it often gets brushed off by the MD. Like my daughter they ignored all her symptoms of oral dysfunction and brushed it off as normal (suck blisters on lips, horrible gas pain, damaging me, lots of spit up with every feed etc). But it was “fine” because she was growing well. Well what about long term affects of mouth breathing due to low tongue posture?! We know it detrimental to our body ( from frequent cavities to increased blood pressure to dementia/Alzheimers). Providers need to start being taught s/s of oral dysfunction and all dentist and ENT need to know how to do a functional oral assessment. I believe so many peoples life’s would be changed for the better and so many disorders/diseases may be prevented.
My son got me doing this,incredible change in my health,I was going to give driving job up, terrible pain over my eyes, thought it must be something serious,never get that anymore, literally took about 3 weeks, amazing
What’s crazy is he and Dave grohl both look mouth breather-ish. What’s funny is I kept thinking of Dave this whole clip and didn’t know why for like 5 minutes and then it clicked that they are twins lol
@@MrBluesboy21 Dave Grohl if he got lost at a psychedelic festival for a week then had an awakening so cleaned up himself and combed his hair..... But was not about to cut the beard.

Breathing is so important to running. I finally got my breathing to a good a pattern with breath in through the nose and out through the mouth is helped soooo much with my endurance
This explains a lot. I’ve been breathing through my ears for years! I should have realized every time I passed out when wearing my headphones listening to this podcast.
The worst thing about Joe being on Spotify (other than them deleting videos) is the lack of comments. I love the comments on his videos, you learn so much!
It is known that babies and children that mouth breath grow up with lower IQ's. Have you ever looked at someone and you can tell they have a lack of intelligence just by how they look? That is because they have been breathing through their mouths all their life and as well as actually limiting their brain development it simultaneously changed what they were going to look like. This means a lot of these people have the same traits in their facial structures. The native Americans knew this and culturally had a thing where if they had babies that slept with their mouths open, they would pinch them shut to force nose breathing. They mention oxygen a lot in the video but as far as I can remember from a few yearsback when I was researching this topic myself, the intelligence thing has a lot to do with CO2. The brain actually does use CO2 for growth and development if I remember correctly, but this wouldn't be too hard to research yourself. So maybe it's a really good insult? I myself have worked with some stupid people whom I have asked if they breathe only through their mouths - particularly whilst sleeping - and they always say yes. Sounds nasty but I explain why I asked after and hopefully give them some knowledge and tools to help them going forward. It is possible to start nose breathing later in life and still change the facial structure (not sure on the IQ). Just so you know the reason I looked up all of this, is that I came across the thing about native Americans pinching shut their babies mouths when my partner was pregnant. I have done this to him on the rare occasions, early on, when he slept with his mouth open. He is a toddler now. Quite clever but I can not prove he would be less so if allowed to breathe through his mouth. But if there is a small chance it helps, it is well worth the 10 seconds it takes to correct. Sorry if you didn't want this full length response to just a short comedic comment.
Start practising buteyko breathing. Later on you can move on to taping your mouth shut for few hours while meditating. And the ultimate challenge is taping your mouth shut while sleeping. If you follow along and progress, you will find someone else in the mirror.
I started my mouth closed journey at the beginning of January. And I've had panic and chocking attacks during sleep due to how restricted my nosal airway was. I never knew until I tried closing my mouth more
My dad always yelled at me when I'd breath through my mouth. He said it makes you look dumb standing around with your mouth hanging open. R.I.P Dad. You always had good advice.
🤣🤣🤣 Thats the #1 reason to breathe through your nose. Not health concerns, so you don't look like a dumbass standing there with your mouth open. I agree... i fully agree!
@bobby i feel you. had migraines and stuffed nose for many years. For me it worked a nice exercise. i put my attention right under my nose, above the upper lip. I keep my attention there until i start to feel sensations. after 2-3 minutes my nose is open and clear. if i stay for 5-10 min i can breath for hours clear. it helps to touch with the finger above the upper lip to put my attention better there. after a few seconds i remove the finger. hope it helps. i know how frustrating might get sometimes not to smell or breath through nose. cheers.
Try mewing. Putting your tongue on the top of your mouth. It will expand your palate and consequently your airway and your allergies will significantly decrease and you can breath through your nose
Yeah I figured out I couldn't run unless I breathe through my nose and most of it had to do with drying out my throat and making it cold but eventually it becomes meditation when you're thinking about your breath
I read James' book, have been wearing nose strips, & tape my mouth shut while I sleep. Months later I noticed recently my sense of smell is 100 times better. Thanks Joe & James!!!
I was a runner my whole life & in tones of sports all of my youth starting in toddler years. I remember always keeping my mouth closed when having to go on long runs or anytime I was running. It was natural to me & I wouldn’t need water as much, no drying up my throat. I have a wide defined jaw, wide teeth with a wide smile & big cheek bones. When my bf first met me many years ago he didn’t think my cheek bones were real lol. Never slept with my mouth open, or snored. I did years of modeling & my facial shape was one of the main reasons I got the jobs I think. It really makes sense when I see the side by side face comparisons of nose & mouth breathers now.
He is correct. I’m a Respiratory Therapist and had hundreds of post Covid patients I had to train on breathing and in observation of mouth breathers I wondered how they made it through all these years. Nose breathing is vital.
I'm more than 30 and I've been breathing through my mouth all my life (my mouth is always open). I'm always tired and I have receding chin. Can I change all these habits and bone structure at this age ? Thanks
When I was young I was hit in the nose with a baseball deviating my septum. It was so bad that I couldn't breathe out my nostrils but barely on one side. I already had allergies but they became 10 times worse. I had an operation at 14 to fix my deviated septum and open up that nostril which barely works. I got this other doctor who started me doing these breathing exercises which consisted on breathing in and out of my nose the best that I could. 20 times 3 times a day. Promise to me that if I simply just tried 3 times a day that in two weeks I will definitely see an improvement. So in the beginning I maybe was doing it one time a day. Then I went and saw him and he asked if I was doing it three times a day. I told him yes but still it wasn't working. He basically told me that he didn't believe me that he guarantees success if I really committed to doing it 20 times 3 times a day. So I admitted I was lying and then started doing it three times a day. One night I realized I got some really good sleep. That morning I woke up and noticed that I was breathing through my nose very clearly. I counted the days since I started doing it three times a day. And realized it had been 15 days. I was so surprised. Not only could I breathe through my nose. But usually I had allergies so bad especially in the summer that I had to carry a handkerchief with me all day and was constantly blowing my nose. But that day I didn't blow my nose not one time. I had allergies so bad that I had to get shots 2 times a week. I continued to get my breathing exercises and eventually I have no problem with allergies. Also that was right when I started smoking pot heavily. I used to tell people it was the marijuana that cured my bad allergies but the truth was it was really those breathing exercises through my nostrils. So I totally believe in what this guy is saying
My dad said year's ago,mouth breather's are gonna bring us down...All the stuff he said is coming true.Much knowledge lost from just a short time ago.In with the good out with the bad
I live in a place filled with pollution, dust mites etc. It affects my breathing, I wake up with both sides of my nose blocked, ears paining when I swallow.. it's horrible. When my nose is blocked, I have no other choice than to breathe through my mouth. Hope it clears 🤧
I'm so tired and irritated of having a clogged nose that using strong nasal spray feels narcotic to me. Calms me down almost as much as smoking a joint or drinking some beers. But as such things It also had Very bad long term side effects and it's very easy to build up a tolerance
Anytime I see conversations about things we believe we know how to do you start to see the varying ways of doing things and why some people may struggle or have issues. Breathing, walking, bathing etc. A lot of people don't know fundamental aspects of doing these things correctly. Just look at any thread online about bathing habits or people who have issues with their feet or knees. People with weird gaits or people who don't wash their legs with actual friction because "the soap drips down their legs." Writing books about these things isn't as mad as it seems imo. Sometimes when you read about performers or athletes in the past, they learned everything from speaking properly, elocution, Standing, breathing. These fundamentals seemed to always be a part of a thespian or athletic education. They understood that these things need you to have great control and discipline with your body and it's fundamental processes. You don't always see that anymore. It's not always focused on these fundamentals as people assume "everybody knows" even though that is never the case .
When I am working out i was always told to breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. After intense running I notice that I am breathing out more than I am breathing in. I always just knew nose worked better and it is common sense for me, but this is super intteresting. Once i get my rhthm with nose intake it just makes it so much easier.
Thank you for this. I’m 48 years old and have always been a mouth breather. I was never told this was bad for me. When I was a kid a few doctors told me (at regular dental or other checkups) that I had a deviated septum. I was like ok...they never said anything else other than that and then moved on. I didn’t even know what a septum was! Now I know. I have so many issues do to mouth breathing that I never knew: grinding teeth, clicking jaw, terrible sleep, v-shape teetht/jaw instead of u-shape. I’m so pissed off that my doctors never said anything like, “we need to fix that”. All they said was, to a ten year old kid who’s parents had no idea either, was “you have a deviated septum”. Nothing else. They just left it at that and moved on to other things. I’m contacting an ENT doctor this week to see about fixing my septum. I simply can’t get enough oxygen through my nose.
Chaz thanks. I was introduced to breathing strips about ten years ago (I wear them to bed). It was a night and day difference but over the years I think my nasal passages have decreased in size to the point where the strips aren’t nearly as effective as they used to be.
Omg this is me exactly! My nasal passages are always stuffy and narrow and blocked up, I have a narrow jaw, unsure about the deviated septum but I'm sure I've got that too. Need to book in with ENT asap I hope they can help me but any other suggestions to help would be appreciated! I cannot tape my mouth shut as I can't get much air through my nose and would pass out...
In reference to the education of breathing in through the nose and breathing out trough the mouth in sports, my whole life even through middle school and high school all the teachers and coaches emphasized the importance of breathing in through the nose and breathing out trough the mouth yet they never explained why and the benefits of it. I just took it for word even though I, don't remember when, stopped breathing in through the nose because I started noticing it was harder for me to breath in through the nose. NOW I notice I was actually mouth breathin all along and it was getting harder to breath in through the nose and it was a paradox of not wanting to breath in through the nose cause it was hard yet it was caused by not doing it. Count the "breathing in through" xd
As a mouth breather I can attest to feeling exhausted with lots of anxiety attacks. I did some nose only breathing therapy and feel stronger and healthier than ever. Anxiety vanished as well.
There's a really good book called "the oxygen advantage" by Patrick McKeown that discusses nasal breathing and how to unblock your nose, really good book I would recommend it to anyone
@@greenygg3498 that's awesome, I got the book about 5 months ago and if has been helping me maintain my endurance while i have been recovery from surgery and it's been so helpful
The book changed my life, I had a constant chest infection for months no matter how much antibiotics I had the infection was still there untill I started nose breathing and mouth taping at night I've never had a chest infection ever since and I've been doing it for 2 years
As an asthmatic with allergies 🤓 my sinus has always been an issue. I mouth breathed as a kid but i learned a lot about breathing feom my personal situation. I still have asthma and allergies, not really a problem nowadays, but I truly believe the vast majority of people have little experience or knowledge with "breathing", it has tremendous benefits. I ran track, played football, wrestled and boxed for years. I likely wouldn't have been as capable without learning to breath better lol
have been a singer for 45 years and was taught that breathing is everything, so I practiced until breathing thru my nose became my norm. breathing thru the mouth drys the throat out bad.
How does it dry out your throat? I've never experienced that in my life, and I barely breathe through my nose at all. Sounds like an issue with your immune system.
I’ve come across the benefits of nose breathing a while ago and looked into mewing. I used to believe that I just had a deviated septum but have been told that my mandibles are both underdeveloped so there is a reason why I can’t breathe through my nose half the time and the deviated septum is a byproduct of this. *Edit* also, whilst Dr Mew claims that correct tongue posture will help you expand your palette, he is only half right. It works if your upper mandible is fairly well developed, but if it isn’t you will struggle to breathe properly whilst maintaining proper tongue posture.
I took a pitch to nose at a baseball practice when I was younger. As I stepped into the box the pitch was already coming. Everyone but the pitcher was aware I wasn't legally ready. My nose didn't actually break but it was sort of crushed and deformed. I looked like Odo from Star Trek due to the swelling which made me laugh. But it has been less comfortable to breath through my nose ever since. I still practice breathing through the nose all the time any chance I can. Eventually your mind will want you to breath through your nose. I have to say, I also seem to get sick about a 1/4 as much as many other people. I wonder if this practice helped with that.
As someone who has never been able to breathe through my nose my entire life this video annoys the flipping shit out of me. Not "triggered" or anything, I'm just annoyed that I can't breathe through my nose.
My man if ur run is intense there is no god damn way u can take enough air through nose.while sprinting u should breath through your mouth forcefully,u will be amazed of the speed u can gain....
You have just explained perfectly why I feel middle headed and stupid when I have a blocked nose or cold. In my late teens and early 20s I did a lot of Tai Chi which taught me to breath correctly.
I remember I said earlier in this year, “at this point idk if I’m even breathing correctly” in life as a joke. Well turns out I’m not in fact breathing correctly lmao.
It seems like a joke but we've been pooping incorrectly, sitting incorrectly, eating incorrectly, sleeping incorrectly and now we've been breathing incorrectly 😅
@@whyarewestillhere8562 i think there's no ugly human, but there's really people who's unattractive to most people that can't be fixed with traditional solution, it needs to be a plastic surgery.
Most doctors will refuse similar studies on ethical grounds, not necessarily because they’re good but because there’s no way it’ll get funded. There are lots of laws in place to ensure ethical consistency, and they are extremely strict with anything that could affect kids in any way. I’ve participated in conducting some medical studies, and seriously the ethical guidelines are very stringent, and when a doctor/researcher refuses it isn’t necessarily because they’re good
To anyone watching/reading this today. I've been able to totally switch over to nose breathing myself and it becomes easier with time. It's a fun challenge and keeps your mouth moist for activities!

Highly recommend James Nestor's book "breathe". In the span of 4 days of practicing some of his breathing exercises I gradually went from BP of 126/89 to 122/82 to 117/80. It was higher before starting these exercises which was reason I began tracking with home device after my dentist commented during a routine cleaning. Going to continue and hope to see progress.

There’s a reason “mouth breather” is an insult.
Wow, you’ve convinced me to try it, but my nose is chronically stuffed

It's hard not to do things like this when it's pretty much your whole life. The dude eats, sleeps, and breathes (hah!) Martial Arts, and he's not trying to make it into a pissing contest, he's trying to relate to James by drawing on his own past experiences.. The only past experience he has with breathing is, naturally, martial arts. Lol
Have people seriously been locked in their homes for so long that they're forgetting how conversation is formed? Lmao
If it weren't for martial arts, I wouldn't have graduated high school.

Damn right its kinda hard to keep it going but I think I was taught to breath by the nose when I was a kid in sports so I guess I am lucky. One thing is it would suck if you get sick with a runny or blocked nose
Seriously? You don't just do that normally?
Nose breathing and posture! gotta get those down for me
Bruh my septum is so crooked it's near impossible.
I know it’s been a year since this post but I’m only watching this now. I was a mouth breather but once I started cycling now for 12 years I really noticed the importance of nose breathing. Not only have my nostrils dilated but what a difference it made on my mindset just by consistently practicing nose breathing while riding. Thank you for this video
I’ve worked outdoors year round in northern Canada for 4 decades. Mouth breathing can freeze your lungs at -35. In summer mouth breathing will suck mosquitoes down your throat. When I boxed in the 80s my nose got messed up and I’ve struggled ever since. When I see people jogging with closed mouth I envy them.
Man you should totally try and get it fixed if you have the financial resources! Its so important, Im sure you'd be glad you did.
Word dude my nose got popped sparring and I've never breathed right since. It's still crooked lol

Growing up I raced very competitively in dirt go karts. It's actually pretty intense. I never really realized it but while competing on the track and being really in the zone, I strictly breathed through my nose. Somehow it just gives you a rhythm and keeps you calm to stay consistent and accurate. I was sick one time and went to a track somewhere and because my sinuses were inflamed I couldn't breathe through my nose. It was a mess. I was very noticibly just off and inconsistent. I attributed it to not being able to breathe correctly and keep up a rhythm. I suspect it works the same way with about any other sport. Interesting how such a seemingly small thing would have that kind of effect.
Chuck Norris takes it a step further and breaths through his ears. Direct air to his brain
When chuck Norris takes a break, he oxygenates everyone on the whole planet.
Chuck Norris does not *need* to breathe---he _chooses_ to breathe.
Chuck Norris can even breathe carbon dioxide for maximum power
The Ozone Hole is not caused by pollution---Chuck Norris breathes *directly from the ozone layer* _because normal oxygen is just too weak._
a guy i knew blew his ear drum out and you could hear air come out and in of his ear so that is possible lol

You funny
Mmm... Nah. Nah it’s no good.
I am a mouth breather and so was my father. It is worse now that I am older. I am a smoker, my father was not. There's crap in the water in Ocean Beach, and on the beach itself. I grew up in Fla......and we don't even remember how we learned to swim as kids, we just did, and always underwater holding our breath. One day I'll never forget, found myself "breathing" underwater. Scared the heck out of me when I realized I was hearing a "breath".
Growing up my mom and grandma had lots of cats and smoked. This made my sinuses stay congested, and I had to always breathe out of my mouth. This really messed up my jaws and the general look of my face. I did have surgery to get more airflow in my nose, and now I can breath out of it even when exercising. I have noticed that with my new nose breathing I do not get sick nearly as often as before.
This guy nose what he’s talking about.
Eye see what you did there.
I wish I could ear you say this funny stuff, not just read it.

Just a fun fact
No lie, I've had asthma most of my life and usually used my inhaler 5-10 times per day. Ever since nose-breathing and taping my mouth shut at night, I'm averaging 1-2 times per day and it's only my 3rd day.
Hmm that’s really interesting, I will try it out
Taping your mouth shut at night ?? 😬 stay safe dude
Bro you tape your mouth shut at night? wild
i like how we can google shit in 5 seconds flat, but people just spew shit. I was confounded at first too, 5 words later i found out its perfectly safe to tape your mouth at night (also i like your lessons mike :)
Asthma inhalers are pretty weird. For me at least, even though I felt the need to take them everyday, one day I just decided to stop to see how it went. I felt fatigue for a few days and suddenly it stopped, I've never felt the need to use my inhalers anymore since then and I get so much less exhausted when exercising.
Tho, I should attribute that to aging and working out more and what I experienced was just a coincidence
Brilliant Joe Thanks for getting us this I’m now fascinated PEACE
My running coach for track and filled along with a completely separate coach that I had for soccer both always stressed in through your nose out to your mouth.... and tbh I think their wisdom went beyond understanding the details but now hearing it be explained why it was better is so awesome because you could definitely see improvement in running performance by using breathing techniques but we never knew the science behind it we just knew if we did it we performed better.

At times he acts like nothing is a suprise to him.
This literally change my life, I am truck driver and in the summer when I used ice I will get sick. Fatigue, headache, brain fog I almost quite my job. Saw this he mentioned about ice and try nose breathing and mouth tape. So many benefits thank joe.
I had all sorts of problems as a child. I had hooping cough, bronchitis always getting colds. I stopped catching flies when I was 13, I've been a nose breather ever since. I haven't had a cold in over 10 years.
I once saw a comedian on tv and his skit mentioned how kids would bully him as a child because he would breath through his mouth and would call him Darth Vader. He mentioned how he was an underachiever and didn't do well at school and had learning problems and low self esteem. Long story short, he found out as an adult that he had a deviated septum that was causing it and his parents had never questioned it. It was the reason he sucked at school an would get teased.
He eventually got surgery to correct it and realized alot of his life's problems were because of something that went undiagnosed until he was an adult. Because if you can't get enough oxygen when you sleep, you'll be very tired the next day and won't be able to focus.
His story made me very sad for him. I don't remember who that comedian was and I would really like to know so that I could thank him because when my daughter was a toddler I began to notice that she would snore, which didn't seem normal because she was not overweight. Then I began to notice that she was breathing through her mouth and I immediately thought about that comedian and how kids would tease him by calling him Vader. I didn't want that for my daughter.
Ikept telling her mother that it was not normal but the pediatrician kept telling her that it was and that she would grow out of it. We would argue about it alot and she would always tell me that I was not a doctor and that I was being paranoid. One day I finally had enough and we had a huge argument and I told her that I was gonna take my daughter to a different doctor and mom agreed to take her for a second opinion.
The specialist ended up discovering that my daughter had abnormally large tonsils that were making it hard for her to breathe through her nose. Fortunately, enlarged tonsils are easy to correct and we had them removed. Afterwards, I was shocked at how much my daughter's breathing had improved. The difference was almost immediate. Within less than a week there was no more snoring, no more mouth breathing, and I noticed my daughter had so much more energy. Again, I was floored.
I suspect that the reason it took a few days for her to start breathing normal again was because she was already used to breathing from her mouth instead of her nose. My daughter's mom felt guilty afterward for doubting me. And to think that I could have been unaware like many parents if I hadn't see that comedy skit and paid attention. Sorry for the long post but doctors don't always have all the answers, so trust your parental instinct and always get more that one opinion.
glad you could notice it before it affected your daughter in a significant way, makes me wonder how much people have this and are unaware since it’s such an easy thing to just disregard
@@dingdong8629 thank you! Actually, today is my daughter's 11th birthday and she's still healthy and full of energy. Yes, I'm sure there are a lot of cases out there that people are not aware of. Our experience also helped us guide another family that we know whose daughter had a similar issue with the tonsils. We gave them alot of advice and recommendations. They were amazed at the difference in their daughter's breathing aftet they had the procedure.

my nose is almost always stuffed. Not allergies not sick...just like one side is stuffed then the other and back and forth...ugh...
I think it's that way for everyone lol we don't breathe through both nostrils at once
@@fkncompton7124 Uhh, no. Most people breathe through both nostrils at once. Unless you have sinus problems, allergies or some other underlying condition.
Very likely you have low reaction allergies to wheat or dairy. If I eat a pizza, my sinuses will blow up. I know it happens, but will still have one on occasion. You could also be dealing with a fungal infection that is left over from having a cold. There are some essential oils you can steam with that will clear it out. Also consider using a netti pot on a semi regular basis.
That's normal, it's called the nasal cycle. The purpose is to keep the breathing side always moist. Breathing takes away moisture, so the blocked side is slowly regaining moisture until the switch occurs.
You probably are intolerant to something in your diet or live in a polluted area. Try reducing wheat/diary and red meat, they're the most common ones. There are some unusual ones, like for me it's onions, tomato and cucumber. Doesn't make me sick, just a bit worse than normal
“ we are treating all these separate problems and we are not looking at the core issues” YES I’ve been preaching this. It has always shocked me how doctors aren’t educated about oral function. Providers usually “put bandaids” on issues by prescribing medications or saying everything is normal instead of finding the root cause and fixing it. For example if a baby isn’t physically able to breastfeed despite good maternal anatomy and a lactation consultant sees a tongue tie restricting necessary movement it often gets brushed off by the MD. Like my daughter they ignored all her symptoms of oral dysfunction and brushed it off as normal (suck blisters on lips, horrible gas pain, damaging me, lots of spit up with every feed etc). But it was “fine” because she was growing well. Well what about long term affects of mouth breathing due to low tongue posture?! We know it detrimental to our body ( from frequent cavities to increased blood pressure to dementia/Alzheimers). Providers need to start being taught s/s of oral dysfunction and all dentist and ENT need to know how to do a functional oral assessment. I believe so many peoples life’s would be changed for the better and so many disorders/diseases may be prevented.

“Mouth breather” is probably the funniest insult I’ve heard
It is known that babies and children that mouth breath grow up with lower IQ's. Have you ever looked at someone and you can tell they have a lack of intelligence just by how they look?
That is because they have been breathing through their mouths all their life and as well as actually limiting their brain development it simultaneously changed what they were going to look like. This means a lot of these people have the same traits in their facial structures.
The native Americans knew this and culturally had a thing where if they had babies that slept with their mouths open, they would pinch them shut to force nose breathing.
They mention oxygen a lot in the video but as far as I can remember from a few yearsback when I was researching this topic myself, the intelligence thing has a lot to do with CO2. The brain actually does use CO2 for growth and development if I remember correctly, but this wouldn't be too hard to research yourself.
So maybe it's a really good insult?
I myself have worked with some stupid people whom I have asked if they breathe only through their mouths - particularly whilst sleeping - and they always say yes. Sounds nasty but I explain why I asked after and hopefully give them some knowledge and tools to help them going forward. It is possible to start nose breathing later in life and still change the facial structure (not sure on the IQ).
Just so you know the reason I looked up all of this, is that I came across the thing about native Americans pinching shut their babies mouths when my partner was pregnant.
I have done this to him on the rare occasions, early on, when he slept with his mouth open. He is a toddler now. Quite clever but I can not prove he would be less so if allowed to breathe through his mouth.
But if there is a small chance it helps, it is well worth the 10 seconds it takes to correct.

I keep my attention there until i start to feel sensations. after 2-3 minutes my nose is open and clear. if i stay for 5-10 min i can breath for hours clear. it helps to touch with the finger above the upper lip to put my attention better there. after a few seconds i remove the finger. hope it helps. i know how frustrating might get sometimes not to smell or breath through nose. cheers.

Thanks Bud
When I was young I was hit in the nose with a baseball deviating my septum. It was so bad that I couldn't breathe out my nostrils but barely on one side. I already had allergies but they became 10 times worse. I had an operation at 14 to fix my deviated septum and open up that nostril which barely works. I got this other doctor who started me doing these breathing exercises which consisted on breathing in and out of my nose the best that I could. 20 times 3 times a day. Promise to me that if I simply just tried 3 times a day that in two weeks I will definitely see an improvement. So in the beginning I maybe was doing it one time a day. Then I went and saw him and he asked if I was doing it three times a day. I told him yes but still it wasn't working. He basically told me that he didn't believe me that he guarantees success if I really committed to doing it 20 times 3 times a day. So I admitted I was lying and then started doing it three times a day. One night I realized I got some really good sleep. That morning I woke up and noticed that I was breathing through my nose very clearly. I counted the days since I started doing it three times a day. And realized it had been 15 days. I was so surprised. Not only could I breathe through my nose. But usually I had allergies so bad especially in the summer that I had to carry a handkerchief with me all day and was constantly blowing my nose. But that day I didn't blow my nose not one time. I had allergies so bad that I had to get shots 2 times a week. I continued to get my breathing exercises and eventually I have no problem with allergies. Also that was right when I started smoking pot heavily. I used to tell people it was the marijuana that cured my bad allergies but the truth was it was really those breathing exercises through my nostrils. So I totally believe in what this guy is saying
I cant breathe through one nostril and i got a bump on my nose after i fell on it once do you think i could have the same?

Anytime I see conversations about things we believe we know how to do you start to see the varying ways of doing things and why some people may struggle or have issues.
Breathing, walking, bathing etc. A lot of people don't know fundamental aspects of doing these things correctly.
Just look at any thread online about bathing habits or people who have issues with their feet or knees. People with weird gaits or people who don't wash their legs with actual friction because "the soap drips down their legs."
Writing books about these things isn't as mad as it seems imo.
Sometimes when you read about performers or athletes in the past, they learned everything from speaking properly, elocution, Standing, breathing. These fundamentals seemed to always be a part of a thespian or athletic education. They understood that these things need you to have great control and discipline with your body and it's fundamental processes. You don't always see that anymore. It's not always focused on these fundamentals as people assume "everybody knows" even though that is never the case .
When I am working out i was always told to breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. After intense running I notice that I am breathing out more than I am breathing in. I always just knew nose worked better and it is common sense for me, but this is super intteresting. Once i get my rhthm with nose intake it just makes it so much easier.
Thank you for this. I’m 48 years old and have always been a mouth breather. I was never told this was bad for me. When I was a kid a few doctors told me (at regular dental or other checkups) that I had a deviated septum. I was like ok...they never said anything else other than that and then moved on. I didn’t even know what a septum was! Now I know. I have so many issues do to mouth breathing that I never knew: grinding teeth, clicking jaw, terrible sleep, v-shape teetht/jaw instead of u-shape. I’m so pissed off that my doctors never said anything like, “we need to fix that”. All they said was, to a ten year old kid who’s parents had no idea either, was “you have a deviated septum”. Nothing else. They just left it at that and moved on to other things. I’m contacting an ENT doctor this week to see about fixing my septum. I simply can’t get enough oxygen through my nose.
Chaz thanks. I was introduced to breathing strips about ten years ago (I wear them to bed). It was a night and day difference but over the years I think my nasal passages have decreased in size to the point where the strips aren’t nearly as effective as they used to be.
Omg this is me exactly! My nasal passages are always stuffy and narrow and blocked up, I have a narrow jaw, unsure about the deviated septum but I'm sure I've got that too. Need to book in with ENT asap I hope they can help me but any other suggestions to help would be appreciated! I cannot tape my mouth shut as I can't get much air through my nose and would pass out...
@@Luna_starbright look up Malachi z York. Your nose clogs at night cause your engines don't need that much oxygen anymore
How’s that going brother?? I’m one of those annoying people who always tries to bring awareness to this issue.
That’s sucks! I’m pissed no one ever told me this as well 😠😒
Imagine you keep getting lung diseases and your doctor is like “hAvE yOu TrIeD bReAtHiNg?”
Edit: thanks for the likes!
LMAO
Even worse, hey you have lung disease because you suck at breathing! Big oof
@@Christian-ki5js I can see pollution making someone suck at breathing
I lost it hahaha 😂
Best comment on here 😂😂🤙🏻
Imagine: if more people filtered through their nose = less coronavirus cases
In reference to the education of breathing in through the nose and breathing out trough the mouth in sports, my whole life even through middle school and high school all the teachers and coaches emphasized the importance of breathing in through the nose and breathing out trough the mouth yet they never explained why and the benefits of it. I just took it for word even though I, don't remember when, stopped breathing in through the nose because I started noticing it was harder for me to breath in through the nose. NOW I notice I was actually mouth breathin all along and it was getting harder to breath in through the nose and it was a paradox of not wanting to breath in through the nose cause it was hard yet it was caused by not doing it.
Count the "breathing in through" xd
As a mouth breather I can attest to feeling exhausted with lots of anxiety attacks. I did some nose only breathing therapy and feel stronger and healthier than ever. Anxiety vanished as well.
There's a really good book called "the oxygen advantage" by Patrick McKeown that discusses nasal breathing and how to unblock your nose, really good book I would recommend it to anyone
Yes!, I read it about a year ago and it's been a massive game changer for me. Sleep, sport, anxiety.
@@greenygg3498 that's awesome, I got the book about 5 months ago and if has been helping me maintain my endurance while i have been recovery from surgery and it's been so helpful
My sinuses really opened up after a month of avoiding milk products. It really surprised me.
The book changed my life, I had a constant chest infection for months no matter how much antibiotics I had the infection was still there untill I started nose breathing and mouth taping at night I've never had a chest infection ever since and I've been doing it for 2 years
The oxygen advantage has a forward by a quack scientist.. really quack.

Wow!! I am so glad I stumbled on this episode! ❤️😳😁
As an asthmatic with allergies 🤓 my sinus has always been an issue. I mouth breathed as a kid but i learned a lot about breathing feom my personal situation. I still have asthma and allergies, not really a problem nowadays, but I truly believe the vast majority of people have little experience or knowledge with "breathing", it has tremendous benefits. I ran track, played football, wrestled and boxed for years. I likely wouldn't have been as capable without learning to breath better lol
i dont have asthma or got asthma despite my allergies is cause my parents taught me breathing technique which helped
have been a singer for 45 years and was taught that breathing is everything, so I practiced until breathing thru my nose became my norm. breathing thru the mouth drys the throat out bad.
I can confirm. Always smelly breath because of sore throat because of mouth breathing
Deep diaphragm breathing is what my vocal coach teaches me
How does it dry out your throat? I've never experienced that in my life, and I barely breathe through my nose at all. Sounds like an issue with your immune system.
@@Tomiply That's kinda disgusting ngl

"Your nose produces Nitrous Oxide" -- I play sports all the time and didn't know I had a BOOST option all along!
@William Loudermilk get some help bro, love ya
I’ve come across the benefits of nose breathing a while ago and looked into mewing. I used to believe that I just had a deviated septum but have been told that my mandibles are both underdeveloped so there is a reason why I can’t breathe through my nose half the time and the deviated septum is a byproduct of this.
*Edit* also, whilst Dr Mew claims that correct tongue posture will help you expand your palette, he is only half right. It works if your upper mandible is fairly well developed, but if it isn’t you will struggle to breathe properly whilst maintaining proper tongue posture.
_nitric_ oxide, not nitrous oxide
That’s how you go D1

I took a pitch to nose at a baseball practice when I was younger. As I stepped into the box the pitch was already coming. Everyone but the pitcher was aware I wasn't legally ready. My nose didn't actually break but it was sort of crushed and deformed. I looked like Odo from Star Trek due to the swelling which made me laugh. But it has been less comfortable to breath through my nose ever since. I still practice breathing through the nose all the time any chance I can. Eventually your mind will want you to breath through your nose.
I have to say, I also seem to get sick about a 1/4 as much as many other people. I wonder if this practice helped with that.
Post link to full episode, pls
As someone who has never been able to breathe through my nose my entire life this video annoys the flipping shit out of me. Not "triggered" or anything, I'm just annoyed that I can't breathe through my nose.
Calm down mouth breather 👹
get it looked at as soon as you're able to, it really will change your life
Get surgery dude

My 65 year old Mexican mom : "Ya vez que te dije." She's been telling me to breath through my nose while running since I was a kid.
My man if ur run is intense there is no god damn way u can take enough air through nose.while sprinting u should breath through your mouth forcefully,u will be amazed of the speed u can gain....
It was probably because you looked like a pendeja running around like a knuckle dragging goof ball. Verdad?
@@anthonym4765 lol can't deny it

You have just explained perfectly why I feel middle headed and stupid when I have a blocked nose or cold.
In my late teens and early 20s I did a lot of Tai Chi which taught me to breath correctly.
wow! this was the most informative interview
I remember I said earlier in this year, “at this point idk if I’m even breathing correctly” in life as a joke. Well turns out I’m not in fact breathing correctly lmao.
😂😂😂😂
It seems like a joke but we've been pooping incorrectly, sitting incorrectly, eating incorrectly, sleeping incorrectly and now we've been breathing incorrectly 😅
@@msergio0293 That means we at least won't have to be bored.

@@whyarewestillhere8562 i think there's no ugly human, but there's really people who's unattractive to most people that can't be fixed with traditional solution, it needs to be a plastic surgery.
The fact that the doctor refused on ethical grounds, means he's a good doctor.
Most doctors will refuse similar studies on ethical grounds, not necessarily because they’re good but because there’s no way it’ll get funded. There are lots of laws in place to ensure ethical consistency, and they are extremely strict with anything that could affect kids in any way. I’ve participated in conducting some medical studies, and seriously the ethical guidelines are very stringent, and when a doctor/researcher refuses it isn’t necessarily because they’re good
To anyone watching/reading this today. I've been able to totally switch over to nose breathing myself and it becomes easier with time. It's a fun challenge and keeps your mouth moist for activities!
Joes always gotta talk about jujitsu or mushrooms every time lol
