Today we’re going to talk about the benefits of nose breathing when you’re sleeping and exercising.
When you restrict airflow by breathing through the nose, some very interesting things occur. You actually get more oxygen delivered to your tissues when nose breathing than when you breathe through your mouth.
When you breathe through your nose, the sinuses help moisten the air as it goes into the lungs. This protects the lungs from irritation and inflammation. Your nose also helps filter the air as it goes into the lungs and can protect the lungs against pathogens.
CO2 isn’t just a waste product. It’s essential. It takes CO2 to push oxygen from your blood into your cells.
A few potential side effects of sinus surgery are dry sinuses and difficulty breathing. You need the mucous membranes to balance out oxygen and CO2. Oxygen therapy and certain conditions can also cause low CO2.
Low CO2 can cause the body to be more alkaline, which can cause low calcium in the blood. Both of these issues can lead to a myriad of symptoms.
When you breathe through your nose, you can increase the amount of oxygen in your cells by about 20%.
Nose breathing helps increase the right amount of CO2 in your body to push oxygen into your cells. This will help oxygenate your brain and muscles, especially when you sleep and exercise. Increasing the oxygen in your cells can also help with stress.

I feel breathing techniques are essential to learn. They go hand-in-hand with meditation and good health. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Hello doctor, your video is, as always, very informative and helpful. I had a good idea for a video: the benefits and harms of artificial vitamins, such as from supplements, as well as which sports supplements are really necessary and which are just marketing. Thank you in advance!
Hello dr Berg.Very brilliant explanation, and easy to understand.Thank you very much Doctor Berg.Have a good day ❤❤❤
We had breathing exercises from a specialist back in my school days. I loved it, still do it now.
Lucky I’ve been doing yoga since 15 years ago. Yoga has gotten me into the habit of breathing through my nose, especially in more strenuous poses. And in 2020, I took Buteyko’s breath training. Through Buteyko I am even more convinced that inhaling and exhaling must be done through the nose. Only opening the mouth to eat and talk. Thank you for the detailed and scientific information 🙏 So much love for you and your family ❤️❤️❤️

😺👍
thanks for doing this!
Nice
what about breath out
@Fashion House Yesss, you also breath out through the nose and mouth closed. When exercising too, so we don’t get dehydrated.
👍
Good talk. I’ve found that breathing helps increase my quantity and quality of life substantially. 😁
I practice nose breathing everyday. My coworkers look at me weird – walking around with a ball gag – but I tell them it’s for health reasons and they don’t question me.
Thankful for always helpful and useful information dr Berg. You are helping every one to have a healthy lifestyle ❤
No problem. Glad to help you all.
Good morning, Dr. Berg
I really appreciate this video so much, I’ve been trying to get my dad to stop mouth breathing because he gets exhausted.
Sure. Hope this will help him. Wishing you both good health!
I’m a nose breather, comes from decades of meditation I believe, thank you for this video Dr. Berg.🙏
No problem. Keep up the good work!
I had a brother that was a mouth-breather from being asthmatic and sinus problems. He had his 1st heart attack at 41 and died from a massive one at 50. He walked a lot in his job and played golf, baseball, football- he was very physical.
Makes me wonder if the breathing contributes.🤔♥️😪
I’ve found that breathing techniques can make all the difference in the world.
Learned a lot from LaMaze Class decades ago, then meditative so, rhythmic
breathing. Helpful for diagnostic imaging, visits to the dentist and so many
things. Nice to be reminded about nose breathing.
Best opening line ever: “There are a lot of benefits in keeping your mouth shut.’. So true. Put a smile on my face.
He has these low blow jokes he says with a straight face
Absolutely! Less is more.
The king of the dry wit❣✌😂
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I was wondering if you could make a video on how some of us can better breathe through our noises? I have issues with breathing through my noise at times, whether it be mucus build up or congestion. I know if I breathe in cold air my nose opens up and I can breathe better. I was just hoping for some advice from you on how to better improve my nose to breathe through it more efficiently. Thank you for all you do. I’ve learned so much from you.
I need to scream this from the rooftops because it synergistically works with what Dr. Berg is saying. I hope he does a segment on this. I got one of those o2 trainers (Bas Ruten o2 specifically) that restrict your breathing to increase lung capacity and has a ton of other benefits like reducing blood pressure. I tested before and had 128/82. After doing 5 minutes I tested again and had 94/66 and it has stayed near that for over an hour. I take amlodapine for BP control and it’s usually in the 130s over 80s so I’m pretty impressed with one 5 minute session. Now when I nose breath I can feel my diaphragm expanding instead of my chest and my breaths are deeper and longer. My blood oxygen reader always says my blood oxygen is 94 but after using this it was 100. Studies show using an o2 trainer is as effective or even more so than exercise and blood pressure meds and I believe it already.
Thanks Dr Berg.
Going to save this video.
I’m still blaming most of my issues on the side effects of aging.
Thanks again!
Watch every morning. Cannot thank you and your team enough Dr Berg! Can you add osteomas as a future topic? (Benign bone growths, like on forehead).
The amount of knowledge you have is stupendous! I was just in need of this. It’s never too late to correct things that have been wrong all our lives. Thanks Dr Berg.
You’re welcome!
Especially during HIIT I started focussing on breathing trough my nose, which give another dimension to the exercise on itself. And I also noticed very strongly when I started buring fat/ being in ketosis I was able to breath much better in genral during biking/ cycling up a hill for instance. Also my VO2max is above avarage now. It’s really from fat to fit.
Dr. Berg I have a question, along with eating healthy and organic, what is the best prenatal supplement you recommend taking before, during, and after pregnancy?
