Attractive Face or Not? It depends on Tongue Posture

Показать описание


One thing missing from this discussion is the health impacts of having good oral posture. Considering the airway is at the back of the face, having a receded chin or maxilla could hinder your airway, having big implications for sleep apnea.

Clarification on the title: I of course don't mean to suggest that attractiveness depends *only* on tongue posture. Nutrition of the mother and nutrition of the person during formative years surely play a very large role in how the face develops. In fact, the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration would suggest that; fat soluble vitamins being very important for fertility and proper development of young, with grains & sugar ("modern foods") being very detrimental for development and oral health especially.
Oral posture would be another piece of the puzzle.

NOTE ON SUTURE FUSION: I wish I had used the phrasing "these sutures are not *completely* fused together," or "sutures are not *completely closed* ..." It's understood that after birth, the sutures of the skull "fuse" together by age 2 or so. One study found that complete closure of certain sutures does not occur until as late as 70 years old. Another found that “The human frontozygomatic suture undergoes synostosis during the eigth decade of life, but does not completely fuse by the age of 95 years" based on 61 human cadavers aged 20 to 95.

On that note, Francis Pottenger's experiment with cats found that cats on a poor diet developed deteriorated facial structure by the third generation.

Imagine being a twin and some doctors scientifically prove you are the worst looking twin

And now I am super conscious about my tongue and feel like it’s a foreign object in my mouth.

I've been doing this for an hour and have gained 4 inches to my arms and became 2 inches taller.

This is astounding! I have been a mouth breather for as long as I can remember. Nose blocked half the time. I have crooked teeth and no chin! Today is day 1! Wish me luck folks!

Edit : 1 year progress.
First of all, thanks everyone for the encouragement! I kind of feel like the flag bearer for this video lol. Doing it for self improvement, you guys and for science :P

So I shaved my beard and noticed that my chin has indeed moved forward!!! I'm no Johnny Bravo yet since the move is still subtle but I definitely see it on my profile side.

I have been pressing my tongue hard while on my commute to work and back, so 40 minutes a day. All the while keeping the tongue in the proper position throughout the day.

It has quickly helped me breathe out my nose at night. Did not even take a month!

I haven't told the wife about my project so the true indicator that the job is done will be when she one day tells me "woa what's with your sexy manly jaw all of a sudden!?"

Thanks all and thanks WIL for your awesome and life changing videos !

This gives a whole new meaning to the saying “if you keep making that face it’ll get stuck that way.”

I saw this video 3 years ago. I had a pretty round face then, not many physical contours. I also had a double chin. I tried this technique. At first my tongue wouldn't rest on the top of my mouth. But after a week of trying, this habit became second nature. now after two years I can confirm it does work. My jawline became quite visible, my cheekbones have started to show(I would love it if it showed a little more) and I completely lost my double chin.

If you had told me 16 minutes ago that I’d find a video on the topic of tongue posture fascinating, I’d have said you were nuts.

I'm glad there are people who take the time to study things like this.

I was a mouth breather due to having a blocked noise from endless colds. It took me a few months to learn to breathe through my nose when sleeping. Essentially it was perseverance at breathing through the nose even when it was blocked. I found that within a few minutes the nose would clear and then I could breathe through it. I believe that improved tongue posture is going to benefit me.
