Most people breathe wrong and have no clue. It affects your face, hormones, posture, sleep, oxygen delivery and even your anxiety. The worst part? It’s soooo normal and no one tells you.
Mouth breathing and fast breathing aren’t normal.
You’re not getting more oxygen, you’re actually getting less where it matters. When you exhale too fast, you lose CO₂. That CO₂ is needed for oxygen to be released into your cells.
This is called the Bohr effect.
No CO₂ = less oxygen to your brain and muscles = fatigue, fog, anxiety.
This is the link bhai: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_effect
Buteyko Method fixes that.
It trains you to breathe less, through your nose only, with short breath holds. It was developed in the Soviet Union to treat asthma and it worked better than most meds.
This is how you do it:

In adults with asthma:
A study in Australia showed that after 3 months of Buteyko breathing:
-Bronchodilator use dropped 96%
-Steroid use dropped nearly 50%
-Symptoms improved by 71%
-Quality of life went up
PubMed study (Bowler et al., 1998)
In children (7–12 years old):
Buteyko helped improve asthma control and quality of life significantly.
PubMed study (Zamir et al., 2023)
Chronic overbreathing causes:
-Less blood flow to the brain
-Poor oxygen delivery to muscles
-Chronic anxiety, poor sleep
-Long face, weak jaw, narrow palate
-Poor posture and shallow chest
What to do instead:
-Breathe only through your nose (kinda obvious)
-Tape your mouth during sleep if needed
-Train slower, calmer breathing
-Hold your breath gently after exhaling
-Build your CO₂ tolerance
Probably no soul will read this but it was a lot of fun to do it and contribute something here lol
