Mouth breathing

energy making

aerobic respiration: with oxygen

Anaerobic respiration: with glucose, inefficient, generates lactic acid, less and less developed muscle fibers to make anaerobic energy so more likely to break down

1970s Phil Maffetone: aerobic zones, personalized training to focus on heart rates

1980s Egil Harvold monkey nose blocking experiment: narrowing dental arch, longer faces

Mouth breathing → decreases pressure → soft tissues in the back of the mouth loosens and flex inward

sleeping with mouth open→Snoring and sleep apnea

Deepest stage of sleep: pituitary gland in brain tells cells to store more water to sleep through without thirst or need to pee, with sleep apnea we are more thirsty and need to pee more

Kids, adults, monkeys and relearn nose breathing and face can morph back natural configuration
