HOW TO “FLU-PROOF” YOURSELF BY 75%
from The Blue Mountains Gazette
DID YOU KNOW-that if you breathe through your nose you are 75% less likely to catch a cold or other nasty virus?
WHY? 1. You breathe less air through your nose than through your mouth therefore you inhale less “bugs” AND 2. Your nose filters, warms and moistens the air you breathe so you do not traumatize your respiratory tract with each inhalation as mouth breathers do. Also, stretching from your nostrils to your lungs is a mucous “blanket” which is lined with a chemical called lysozyme. This enzyme helps to “de-bug” what you inhale by 75%.
If you are near someone with a cold and you are breathing through your mouth you are 100% likely to catch their “bug”. However, if you are breathing through your nose you are 75% protected from that infection. Breathing through your nose could be the best health insurance policy of all.
Relief for weekly workers is now available. Due to popular demand from the nine to five/ five day week folk I have scheduled a Buteyko Breathing class for every Saturday at 3pm at Lawson. The current class runs until June 28th with the next course commencing on July 26th. Private consultations are still available on request.
