Nasal breathing

The first rule for healthy respiration is to breathe in and out through the nose. The nose warms, moisturises, and filters the air. According to alternative holistic medicine, the air contains energy that enters the body through the nose via inhalation, providing the body an intense amount of energy. Mountain climbing is a good example. During the climb, we often enjoy inhaling the fresh mountain air through our nose and not through our mouth. During intense exercise, running or weight lifting, the body needs more oxygen, thus we breathe through our nose and mouth simultaneously.
