The air you breathe needs to be warmed to match the body’s internal temperature, which is around 98.6°F (37°C). This is important for efficient gas exchange in the lungs, as cooler air can cause discomfort and reduce the effectiveness of oxygen absorption. Additionally, warming the air helps to protect the delicate tissues of the respiratory system from cold air, which can lead to irritation and increased susceptibility to infections.
