Mouthbreathing isn\u2019t ideal because <strong>the mouth is meant to serve as a <em>backup <\/em>air pathway<\/strong>\u2014it lets us take in lots of air quickly, but it lacks the tissues the sinus cavity uses to filter the air and move it along. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/consequences-of-mouth-breathing\/\">Breathing through your mouth<\/a> also consumes more energy, leading to bodily stress and fatigue. This stress pushes your heart to beat faster while your muscles rely more and more on anaerobic energy, another of the body\u2019s backup systems, burning sugars and building up lactic acid. This leads to nausea, muscle weakness, and sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be clearly demonstrated during exercise. Nestor explains that when you start working out, your muscles tap into anaerobic energy as your respiratory system tries to catch up. Anaerobic power from breaking down sugars is a turbo boost that evolution designed to kick in along with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-the-fight-or-flight-response\/\">fight-or-flight response<\/a>. However, anaerobic respiration isn\u2019t meant to be sustained for long periods, as it is when you consistently breathe through your mouth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>The Chemistry of Respiration<\/strong><br><br>Nestor describes how the muscles derive energy from aerobic and anaerobic respiration without going into explicit detail about how they work on the molecular level, which involves <a href=\"https:\/\/byjus.com\/biology\/aerobic-anaerobic-respiration\/\">two very different chemical processes<\/a>. Both begin with glucose breaking down into pyruvic acid and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/adenosine-triphosphate\">adenosine triphosphate<\/a> (ATP), the \u201cenergy molecule\u201d our bodies use for fuel. In aerobic respiration, the pyruvic acid reacts with oxygen in a process called the <a href=\"https:\/\/byjus.com\/biology\/difference-between-glycolysis-and-krebs-cycle\/\">Krebs Cycle<\/a>, producing even more ATP for the body while releasing carbon dioxide and water as waste products.<br><br>In anaerobic respiration, pyruvic acid is converted into energy through <a href=\"https:\/\/byjus.com\/biology\/fermentation-anaerobic-respiration\/\">a process of fermentation<\/a>. In yeast and bacteria, this produces alcohol, but in our bodies the waste product of anaerobic respiration is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/what-is-lactic-acid\">lactic acid<\/a>, which is filtered out of the blood by the liver. While Nestor and many others blame lactic acid for the muscle pain experienced after exercise, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pfizer.com\/news\/articles\/science_fact_or_science_fiction_lactic_acid_buildup_causes_muscle_fatigue_and_soreness\">research has debunked that notion<\/a>.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aerobic respiration\u2014taking energy from oxygen\u2014is ideal for exercise, yet the more you pant and gulp to catch air, the more your heart races and the longer your body stays in the anaerobic zone. The solution Nestor gives is to breathe only through your nose and monitor your pulse. For optimal aerobic exercise, your pulse should not exceed 180 minus your age. (For example, if you\u2019re 50, your exercising pulse should be under 130.) Mouthbreathing invariably pushes you over this limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Whether aerobic is preferable to anaerobic exercise isn\u2019t as straightforward as Nestor suggests. In short bursts, anaerobic exercise\u2014such as sprinting or weightlifting\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodrx.com\/well-being\/movement-exercise\/aerobic-vs-anaerobic-exercise\">has benefits of its own<\/a>. Anaerobic training strengthens muscles and increases endurance while forcing the body to burn even more calories while replenishing its oxygen content. If your goal is to burn fat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/fitness-exercise\/aerobic-vs-anaerobic#Why-anaerobic-exercise-is-better-for-fat-loss\">high-intensity anaerobic exercise can be more effective<\/a> than aerobic exercise.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is mouthbreathing bad for you?
