Slow, controlled breathing decreases activity in this connection; rapid, erratic breathing increases activity and influences emotional states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2_ Breathing regulates your blood pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breathing through the nose and slowing the breathing rate increases baroreflex sensitivity, the mechanism that regulates blood pressure through heart rate. Over time, this can decrease the risk of stroke and brain aneurysm, and generally reduces stress on blood vessels (a major benefit for cardiovascular health).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3_Breathing influences the emotional control regions of the brain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent study showed that proper, controlled nasal breathing influences &quot;neuronal oscillations throughout the brain,&quot; particularly in brain regions related to emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4_Your breathing affects your memory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jneurosci.org\/content\/36\/49\/12448\" target=\"_blank\">study of<\/a> A 2016 study demonstrated for the first time that the rhythm of our breathing generates electrical activity in the brain that influences what we remember. The biggest differences were related to whether the study participants were inhaling or exhaling, and whether they were breathing through their nose or mouth. Inhalation was associated with greater recall, but only when breathing through the nose. Participants were also able to recall certain objects better when inhaling through their nose. Researchers believe that nasal inhalation triggers greater activity in the amygdala, the brain&#039;s emotional center, which enhances the recall of stimuli. Inhalation also appears to be linked to increased activity in the hippocampus, the seat of memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Nasal breathing stimulates the immune system and improves energy metabolism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasal breathing triggers a parasympathetic response and can improve immune system resilience, resulting in health benefits such as improved energy metabolism and more efficient insulin secretion, leading to better blood sugar control. Nasal breathing is valuable for overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you want to learn about the importance of breathing and all the benefits it brings, read our posts and how we can help you regulate your breathing and have a better quality of life.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La revista Forbes publica un art\u00edculo en el que se resume muy bien lo que llevamos cont\u00e1ndote durante todo este tiempo acerca de la importancia [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5,6,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articulos-salud-bucal","category-consejos","category-odontopediatria","category-ortodoncia-miofuncional"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Respiraci\u00f3n nasal, 5 razones. &#8212;
