Respiratory Health (10 articles)

- Why Your Chest Feels Congested in the MorningMorning congestion usually comes from mucus pooling overnight while you lie flat and swallow less, made worse by dry bedroom air, mouth breathing or reflux.
- Mouth Breathing vs Nose Breathing: Why It MattersYour nose filters, warms and humidifies air and adds nitric oxide that helps the lungs take up oxygen.
- How Hydration Changes Your Mucus and Your BreathingAirway mucus is about 95 percent water.
- How Posture Quietly Limits Your BreathingSlouching compresses the abdomen and stops the diaphragm from descending fully, which can cut the air you move per breath.

- Breathing Exercises That Make Stairs EasierTo climb stairs with less breathlessness, exhale on the effort, pace one breath to a set number of steps and use pursed lips on the way up.
- Nasal Breathing During Exercise: Worth the Effort?Nasal breathing during easy and moderate exercise filters and humidifies air and encourages a slower, deeper pattern.
- Slow Breathing for Anxious MomentsBreathing at about six breaths a minute, with the exhale longer than the inhale, is the best-studied breathing pattern for easing anxious feelings.
- Humming, Nitric Oxide and Your SinusesHumming makes air vibrate in the sinuses and has been shown to raise nasal nitric oxide many times over compared with quiet exhalation.
- Gentle Breathing Exercises for Older AdultsOlder adults benefit most from seated diaphragmatic breathing, pursed-lip breathing and gentle chest-opening stretches done for five to ten minutes a day.
- How to Breathe Comfortably in Cold AirBreathe through your nose and cover your mouth and nose with a scarf so air is warmed and moistened before it reaches your airways.
