SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND SAVE YOUR LIFE 〰️ Take notice, is your mouth 👄 open as you read this post? If you are out and about, take a quick look around. How many people do you notice sitting at their desk or standing in line for coffee ☕️ with their mouths 👄 open? 〰️ Here’s why this is significant – mouth breathing is something you would typically expect as a result of sprinting 🏃🏻 up a flight of stairs, running 🏃🏻‍♀️ a 400m, or jumping rope, NOT standing or sitting at rest. 〰️ Chronic mouth 👄 breathing is a prime indicator of fight or flight, which means your body perceives you running for your life ‪24/7‬! 〰️ It puts the body in a state of hyperventilation and any time we hyperventilate we lose a ton of energy (CO2). The inability to uptake oxygen interrupts cellular respiration shifting energy production away from CO2 and towards increased production of lactic acid. The more chronic this state becomes the more CO2 we lose and the more nerve-cell activity slows and lactic acid production increases. 〰️ The excess production of lactic acid is an energy toxin and leaves your cells deprived of much needed oxygen. So if you are reading this and you’re noticing you’re breathing through your mouth 👄 you are being shown your body’s inability to find physiological balance within the stress of the environment. 〰️ If you are reading this with your mouth 👄 open, close your 👄 , take a few slow inhales and exhales through your nose 👃🏻 and see if instead of running a million miles an hour you can allow your breath to dictate your pace. 〰️ This does not mean you will never 👄 breathe – the key is being able to control your breath. While exercising stay in nose 👃🏻 – nose breathing as long as you can before going to nose – mouth, mouth – mouth. THEN, when you are aware of when you need to rest, you rewind back down to nose – nose. . . #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas #metabolicbreathing #nosebreathing #nosebreathe #mouthbreathing #shutyourmouthandsaveyourlife #survivalmode #stressedstate #stressatrest #runningfromalionatrest https://www.instagram.com/p/BtvzSZVhLgr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wz9f3ei1h0o0

Stephen Porges: The “vagal brake” is the reason you can sit there and I can sit here without feeling like we’re jumping out of our skin! The “vagal brake” in mammals is that myelinated vagus; it’s a pathway going from the brain stem to the sinoatrial node, and it inhibits our heart rate. 🧠 What we often forget is that without the vagus, our heart would be beating twenty/thirty/forty beats per minute faster. We’d basically have a heart rate over a hundred beats per minute, but the sinoatrial node acts as the heart’s natural pacemaker. 🧠 The vagus is a “brake” inhibiting that so our heart rate is slower – and this provides tremendous interesting options. 🧠 It means that if we want to get our heart rate up ten beats per minute/ twenty beats per minute, we just pull the “brake” off; we don’t need to stimulate the sympathetics. If we stimulate the sympathetics, it’s a sloppier system – more diffuse – and we may literally get into a state of rage or mobilization. A mammal has this wonderful ability to increase cardiac output to improve mobilization without triggering the sympathetic nervous system. Just by pulling the “brake” off, we can make these minor adjustments. 🧠 Think about this for a minute…think about your clients that actually feel like they can’t sit still, that they feel like they are jumping of their skin, they can’t relax, can’t meditate and have a very rapid heart rate during the day (over 85bpm). What does that tell us about the nervous of those people? #metabolicbreathing #vagus #vagusnerve #vagaltone #vagal #polyvagaltheory #nervoussystem #Wearefood #consciousnutrition #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas #resorationthyroid #hypothyroid #hypothyroidism #thyroid #thyroidhealth #poweredbygelatin #fruitsandroots #fruitisfuel #fruitisyourfriend #wearenotcows #metabolism #metabolichealth #mitochondria #stress #stressmanagement https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNOJ8cBavv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xrysqgu0klbz

Mouth breathing pushes us into a different energy system. It teaches us to derive energy from being in a sympathetic state. Why? * When we mouth breathe we are hypoxic (not getting enough oxygen into our system) and sometimes either expel too much CO2 or retain too much CO2. * Either way our cells are not getting what they need to produce energy. This pushes our cells to produce lactic acid which is inflammatory and leads to many of the disorders listed above. * All diseases begin at the cell level. The cells are the conductors of the system. If they don’t get what they need, they compensate and your systems compensate. That is why each and every day you feel like you are compensating because you are tired, can’t focus, are always trying to lose weight, feel depressed, etc. * Shut your mouth and save your life! #metabolicbreathing #breath #breathing #breathe #breathwork #breathemotherfucker #nosebreathing #mouthbreather #learningdisability #mentalhealth #obesity https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXKDh0BNz3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d5rjoksrhppe

#RepostPlus @metabolic_breathing - - - - - - "In 1970 Egil Harvold carried out a series of experiments on rhesus monkeys. The experiments showed that when monkeys between 2-6yrs old were forced to become mouth breathers by having their nostrils blocked with silicone plugs, they first showed a wide variety of behaviors with their tongue, lip and jaw position, behaving “erratically” as the animals adjusted to mouth breathing. The mouth breathers developed longer faces with downward sloping mandibles. They also developed forms of malocclusion that varied substantially from individual to individual. All however, showed a narrowing of the dental arch in the lower jaw, and a shortening of the arch in the teeth in the upper jaw. The result was an incisor crossbite. When the plugs were removed after 18months, most of the changes reversed.” Jaws: The story of a hidden epidemic ▪️ Mouth breathing leads to long face syndrome. •Exposure to allergens •Eating softer foods •Being bottle fed •Not being breast fed •Poor posture and oral posture #metabolicbreathing #breathing #nosebreathing #mouthbreather #stuffynose #sinusinfection #breastfeeding #bottlefeeding #longface https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFOtKshpqi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11p47c13gohzo

#Repost @metabolic_breathing ・・・ There are two modes of inhalation. By the nose and by the mouth. * Remember, there is safety in life with one way and great danger in the other. . . . . .

#Repost @metabolic_breathing with @get_repost ・・・ Humans have a diving response consisting of a set of reflexes that are activated when our face is cooled…cold shower, cold immersion, etc. Or when we hold our breath. The diving reflex is a physiological mechanism that enables our body to handle low levels of oxygen. * When we hold our breath, the spleen contracts which contains red blood cells. The more and more we hold our breath during breathing exercises, swimming or diving, the spleen contracts allowing more oxygen to be stored in the blood. * When we exhale slowly or hold our breath at the end of an exhale we retain more CO2. * This combination of mechanisms allows to to access more oxygen through increase cellular and blood CO2. This is important as the more oxygen we can access the more our cells can produce energy (metabolic respiration). The more metabolic energy being produced means more O2 available to the lungs (ventilation respiration). #breath #breathwork #metabolicbreathing #breathemotherfucker #breathe #nosebreathing #coldshower #cold #breathhold https://www.instagram.com/p/BojrxstBl4A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=od57pigirbec

#Repost @metabolic_breathing with @get_repost ・・・ Two words: MOUTH BREATHING 👄 Its not that that teeth are over growing like you are told ❌ 👄 Its that the maxilla and mandible have not grown appropriately to handle that amount of teeth ✔️ 👄 When we mouth breath, eat soft foods growing up, etc our muscles of mastication don’t grow appropriately. This creates a lack of tension in the bones that hold all the teeth. This creates lack of bone growth, narrow jaw and over crowding of the teeth. So you get braces, realign the teeth that are over crowding these small bones BUT, you have not changed the cause = mouth breathing. #metabolicbreathing #mouthbreathing #mouthbreather #nosebreathing #nasalbreathing #breathing #braces #teeth #orthodontist

#Repost @metabolic_breathing Nose breathing does more than just provide our body with oxygen. When we breath through our nose we provide harmony and balance throughout the systems. 👃🏻 💨 Mouth breathing is a different story…..Our study confirms that the oral breathing modifies head position. The significant increase of the craniocervical angles NSL/OPT and NSL/CVT in patients with this altered breathing pattern suggests an elevation of the head and a greater extension of the head compared with the cervical spine. 👄 💨 Minerva Stomatol. 2015 Apr; 64(2):59-74 #metabolicbreathing #mouthbreather #nosebreathing #breathing #forwardheadposture (at Pain Free Fitness)
