When breathing, the air flows in and out of the nose, mouth, lungs and vice versa. We notice that there is no sound of the breathing process or a low sound that is barely heard while breathing. When we exercise, the air moves more quickly and produces some sounds This happens because the air moves inside and outside the nose and mouth faster than normal and this leads to more disruption due to airflow and vibration of some tissues in the nose and mouth.
When we are asleep, the area of the back of the throat is narrowed. Narrowing is sometimes caused by muscle relaxation, and the same amount of air passes through these smaller openings, causing tissue vibration, which in turn can cause snoring sounds. And different people who snore have different reasons for the occurrence of restrictions. It can be narrowing in the nose, mouth or throat. Snoring is often worse when an individual breathes through his mouth or is suffering from a blocked nose.
Normal nasal breathing function
For breathing during rest, it is the ideal condition for breathing through the nose. The nose acts as a humidifier, heater, and air filter. When breathing is performed orally, there are differences in air intake to the lungs where the process occurs at a slower pace. It is true that the lungs are still able to breathe cold air, and the driest, which is not filtered in the usual way through the nose; where it is noted that breathing the air is really cold, and the dry mouth is uncomfortable. Therefore, our bodies naturally adapt better with nasal breathing if possible.
Oral Breathing and Snoring:
Of course, we adapt better with nasal breathing. Some people can not breathe through their noses due to obstruction of the nasal passages. This can be due to the deflection of the nasal barrier, allergies, sinus infections, swelling of the clitoris, Tonsils in the back of the throat), and in adults, the most common causes of nasal obstruction are deflection of the barrier of nasal rupture or tissue swelling of the allergic, whereas in children, the enlargement of the meat (tonsils in the back of the throat) Obstruction of breathing. The obstruction in the breathing process produces a sound known as snoring, as airflow through the mouth increases tissue vibration.
