“In this work, we have demonstrated that nasal breathing counteracts the effects of gravity on pulmonary blood flow in the upright position by redistribution of blood to the nondependent lung regions.”
It’s Friday, so a new 411 was just released.
In this one, you’ll learn:
How nasal breathing redistributes blood flow (up to 24%) in the lungs to counteract gravity
How nitric oxide (NO) is the essential component of this blood flow redistribution
How nasal NO may have been an evolutionary adaption allowing us to walk upright
Click here to read/listen to the 411.
Enjoy your weekend,
