The Science of Breathing

(Newswire.net — December 17, 2017) Cheyenne, Wyoming — We all learned in school that humans breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide, right? Well, most people probably just swatted this information for a test or memorized it without fully appreciating the depth of this exchange. For many, breathing isn’t such a simple task, a nasal strip is an important application for those plagued with sinus, allergies and other respiratory issues.

“Nasal strips can be used for up to 12 hours at a time, day or night, for immediate long-lasting relief,” says the Pharmacy Times. “The strip gently lifts the outside of the nose to open the nasal valve, which is the narrowest part of the nasal passageway, thereby improving airflow.”  

Facilitating comfortable breathing is the mission of nasal strips such as Breathe-IN™ by HealthyWiser™, which assures you’ll breathe easy during sleep or play. Taking care to inhale quality air is also crucial, poor air can cause the nostrils and lungs to labor unnecessarily. The intake of noxious gases or the retention of carbon dioxide can lead to serious consequences. 

“Getting rid of carbon dioxide (CO₂), not bringing in oxygen, is the main stimulus that drives us to breathe under most circumstances,” explains Roger Cole, PhD, physiology researcher in Del Mar, California. “This is because too much CO₂ makes the blood more acidic, which can impair the function of all of your body’s cells. Your brainstem is finely tuned to maintain the pH of the blood, so when the pH skews more acidic, it triggers the stress response and sends an urgent message to the diaphragm to initiate a breath to bring in more O₂ and rebalance the blood.” 

Breathing properly is absolutely essential for the body to function efficiently as a whole. Acidity is not only a term reserved for chemistry class because your entire body works on the basis of chemical reactions and exchanges. The human body works at its best in a state of alkalinity, as low oxygen intake can overload your system and be counterproductive to healthy operations. 

“Nasal strips can have a positive effect for asthmatics or those with sensitive bronchial tubes,” explains Beat Villager, Swiss medical sport experts. “The longer we can breathe through the nose the less stress there is on the bronchial tubes, and exertion asthma can be avoided or at least the asthmatic reaction can be reduced.” 

Devoted to the wellness and functionality of your nasal passage, the drug free and non-invasive nature of the Breathe-IN™ nasal strips by HealthyWiser™ is among the best applications of its kind.
