A member asked:
When you exercise is it better toinhale through the nose and then exhale out the mouth? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The nose is an air processor. It warms, filters and humidifies the air you breath so that when it gets to your lungs it is clean, warm and moist - just the way the lungs like it. By mouth breathing your lungs have to work harder because the air hasn't been processed.
