Why modern man gets little, if any, benefits from exercise
Breathing and oxygenation in healthy and sick peopleIf you observe modern exercising people, you will see that over 97% of them breathe through the mouth. Is this a problem?

How to prevent mouth breathing during the night
Mouth breathing drastically reduces body oxygenation: the amount of freely available oxygen in tissues is usually reduced almost two times when the person starts to breathe through the mouth, for example, during sleep. Epidemiological studies clearly proved that deaths from heart attacks, asthma, COPD, epilepsy, complications of diabetes,
Which exercise parameters increase body oxygenation
Dozens of published medical studies clearly proved that body oxygenation, which is reflected by stress-free breath-holding time, is the best indicator of physical health. Among numerous varieties of the breath holding time test, the stress-free version of the test done after usual exhalation, most accurately reflects body oxygenation.
