🫁 The forgotten gas that could protect you this virus season!!!
Most of us are diligent about washing our hands when viruses are around…
But very few people realise that how you breathe may be just as important – if not more.
In this Oxygen Advantage podcast, our own breathing expert Patrick McKeown and Dr. Nathan Bryan, a world-leading expert in nitric oxide research, explore the powerful role of nitric oxide and why nasal breathing is one of your body’s first lines of defence.
👃 The nose is not just for breathing air – it:
• Produces nitric oxide with antiviral and antibacterial effects
• Filters, warms and humidifies the air
• Helps reduce the risk of pathogens reaching the lungs
👉 Please pay special attention from around minute 13, where they explain how nasal breathing helps reduce viral load and supports immunity – this is essential listening for this season.
As a therapist, I see daily how small changes create big shifts in health - be it emotional or physical. Breathing through your nose is one of the simplest, most overlooked habits you can start today.
🎧 Listen, learn, and share this with someone who still thinks mouth breathing is harmless.
