190/365 Breathe through Your Nose Especially in the Cold

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

As my mother so kindly reminded me, breathe in through your nose when it's cold outside.

If you've ever seen a human skull, you know that the nose part is a little complex. That's because your nasal cavity has lots of compartments in which your body can heat up and moisturize the air you breathe before it hits your lungs. Our lungs are sensitive organs so we shouldn't exacerbate them with cold air, smoking, or smoking in the cold.

When working out in the cold, I would say this is the only time when you probably shouldn't breathe through your noise since you are breathing rapidly and you're wearing a balaclava or some other mouth cover anyway (right? of course right.)

In health,

Lauren
