Yes, humans can inhale through their mouth. While the primary breathing route is through the nose, the mouth can also be used for breathing in situations where there is difficulty breathing through the nose or increased oxygen demand.

Which of these processes occurs when you inhale?

Why is it supposedly better to exhale out mouth?

This is commonly recommended for any sort of disciplined breath exercise but what is the scientific explanation for this traditional teaching?

Plus exhaling through the nose will keep you nose moist from water vapor from lungs.

Why should you inhale air through your nose and exhale through your?

You should especially inhale through the nose when it is cold. Cold air damages the fragile linings of the respiratory tract. Blood vessels in the nasal cavity warm inhaled air to reduce the damage caused. If you breathe through the mouth, air is not warmed, leaving you at risk of catching chest infections such as pneumonia. If possible, breathe out through the nose as well, but it doesn't matter so much if you exhale through the mouth, because the exhaled air has already been warmed in your body.


What causes the different amount of oxygen you inhale and exhale?
