The Truth About Nitric Oxide

Nitric oxide is a cellular signaling molecule that's closely tied into a number of critical processes in the body. It’s involved with everything from the binding and release of oxygen and hemoglobin, to inhibiting inflammation. It’s even linked to the destruction of viruses, parasites and malignant cells in the airways and lungs. In addition, nitric oxide is a part of the system that regulates blood pressure.

Nitric oxide is produced in a number of body tissues but nitric oxide is also produced in the nasal passages. When we nasal breathe, our bodies can make use of this amazing substance, but as soon as we start breathing through the mouth, that’s just no longer possible.

Research has linked abnormal nitric oxide levels with some serious health concerns such as high blood pressure, heart failure, atherosclerosis and strokes. Many of my patients also have sleep apnea, which is linked to a number of similar health concerns. Mouth breathing is a common factor for all of these issues, which means it’s the red flag that many health practitioners often overlook.

To put it simply, breathing through your mouth bypasses important parts of the breathing process, which is why we see so many negative health effects around mouth breathing.

In this video, I'll take a look at nitric oxide, and clarify how it can affect your health.

I love when people create YouTube videos with little morsels of Truth and you don't have to watch 45 minutes of rambling to grab a single gem.

What I love most about your video is it was short and sweet and straight to the point. People have busy lives and too many choices and are impatient to wait for a video to get to the point. You got straight to the point and said what exactly your video title said. Please keep your videos that way. I have subbed for that reason.

A month ago I decided to tell people on Facebook about the benefits of Nasal Breathing, in and out through the nose, everybody who replied said I was wrong, in through the nose, out through the mouth, one guy I know who is extremely intelligent told me I was an idiot as did my brother, the list of benefits for me is long, much better lung function, no aches and pains in my neck and shouders anymore, great posture, my skin has defintly improved, my hair is much softer and smoother, I sleep extremely well as I have succeded in nasal breathing at night, people keep saying how good I'm looking, and I am 78! I only did it to get my lungs working better but my god look what it's done for me with benefits I did not expect.

I was a mouth breather for most of my 70 years. A week ago I tried mouth taping. I was skeptical so I put a slit in a piece of first aid tape and taped my mouth closed for the night. I had to sleep on my back so my sinuses would drain equally. After 3 days of this my sinuses are mainly clear and I noticed that my urine went from bright yellow to clear. Also, burping has gone down and breathing through your nose gives you a constant supply of NO.

I went from stage 3 hypertension to normal in 4 months taking nitric oxide twice a day. No longer have to take a aspirin every day! I also changed my diet and have lost 35 lbs but it was the NO that got me feeling good enough to start being active enough to drop that weight.

Thank You for the video, You've cleared up Nitric Oxide delivery for me. I knew how important Nitric Oxide is to our health so clearing up the delivery is also so important!

[OneCupOfCoffee]

There are some people I know who would do themselves a world of good by breathing through their noses because it takes a closed mouth to do so.

[chackovarghese]

Thanks Sarah. Nitric Oxide (NO) through the NOSE. Excellent.

Breathing through your nose also will give you a better speaking voice. I am a voice expert and have found this to be the case 99% of the time. The reason is it opens up the sinus passages and produces more nasal resonance. Oh, and by the way, you have a very good voice !1
