Breathe through your mouth and nose at the same time

Breathing through your mouth and nose

Most people take a deep breath mouth or nose. Would you like to try breathing through your mouth and nose at the same time? It's really difficult because the breathing system is very complex.

• So that your body if the body's cells work and of course, oxygen is required. This means that breathing is an important and vital process so that the cells receive energy.
• You breathe in (not through both sensory organs at the same time) and the cells get their oxygen. A metabolic product (carbon dioxide) is excreted when you exhale.
• The body has provided the respiratory organs (larynx, nose, throat and windpipe) for this. In addition, there are the bronchi within the lungs with their branches.
• The respiratory organs receive around a fifth of oxygen, around four fifths consists of nitrogen. Then there is a smaller amount of noble gases and carbon dioxide. The oxygen that is inhaled is not fully utilized, only about the fifth part. The exchange takes place via the alveoli.

Frogs breathe too - but how?

Once development is complete, frogs can no longer breathe through gills. …

• When you breathe something called a burn occurs. This creates CO2 (carbon dioxide), but also heat and water vapor. But the most important thing that arises is free energy. Chemical processes use the energy for your muscles to work.
• The resulting warmth is just as important as your body temperature can be kept constant in this way. It is around 36.5 to 37.0 degrees Celsius.

Breathe at the same time through the exit and entrance

If you want to breathe through your mouth and nose at the same time, it won't be that easy at first.

• The only people who do this are didgeridoo players. If they do not do this, no music will come out of the instrument. But how does it work? Because actually breathing through the mouth and nose at the same time should not be physiologically possible at all.
• In order to breathe, the human body has a flow of air. This airflow is separated from the soft palate. As the name suggests, the sail is in the palate. In order to be able to breathe through both sensory organs at the same time, this sail must be removed from the way.
• As already described in the first part, the breathing air is warmed up as soon as the lower airways are reached. This protects the lungs from harmful intruders. If you breathe through both sensory organs, there is no longer any protection.
• The didgeridoo players use circular breathing. This means that they exhale through their mouths with the air in their lungs. The soft palate separates the airflow. There is now residual air in the baking chamber. Then the cheek air is exhaled and at the same time inhaled through the nose. A cycle is created because the soft palate is then opened again and the lung air is reused.

According to the advice of the German Lung Foundation, you shouldn't necessarily try this type of breathing unless you are a didgeridoo player.
