Why is it more hygienic to breathe in air through your nose than through your mouth?

The nose has many natural filters in it, including: nose hair, the nasal cavity and adinoids. all these filtering the air before it reaches your throat/lungs. However your mouth has your tonsils and mucus as a defense. The mucus engulfs the foreign object and then you hargh it out. Your nose just has stronger defenses.

∙ 14y agoyour nose hairs act as a filter for the air. This means that some pollutants don't make it through your nose into your body. When you breathe through your mouth there is no filter and all the air goes straight into your lungs

Is it best to breathe out through the mouth?
Breathing through your mouth means you take in more air at a time, if you're running it can be a good method for breathing. However, with breathing through one's mouth you don't get the filtration that's given by breathing through your nose, "nose hairs" cilia work as tiny filters to help keep gunk out of your lungs, the mucus housed in your nose also helps with this. I recommend breathing through your nose over your mouth, while your mouth takes in more air at a time, you're more likely to catch a cold or bacteria(or dust, spit, etc.) in your mouth than you are in your nose.
