You can buy tape made especially for this purpose \u2014 but please be aware that this technique is not appropriate for some people, including people who struggle to breathe through their nose, have severely chapped lips, are obese, consume alcohol or sedatives before bed, have heart or blood pressure problems, or are currently affected by a cold, allergy, or sinus problem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And, finally, if you have chronic congestion (making it difficult to breathe) \u2026 you should look into changing your diet to reduce mucous buildup.\u00a0 You should consider reducing dairy products, especially those of the conventional variety, as well as simple sugars and flour products.\u00a0 For additional help, consult an integrative healthcare provider.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to breathe easier if you make lifestyle changes that are healthy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Republished from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalhealth365.com\/\">NaturalHealth365<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>These are some of the sources for this article:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenus.ie\/bitstream\/handle\/10147\/559021\/JAN15Art7.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lenus.ie<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/erj.ersjournals.com\/content\/22\/5\/827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ERSjournals.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/health.usnews.com\/health-news\/blogs\/eat-run\/articles\/nasal-breathing-the-secret-to-optimal-fitness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Health.usnews.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6189422\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIH.gov<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, we\u2019ve all become acutely aware of how important respiratory health is.\u00a0 The growing conversation about the health benefits associated with nasal breathing couldn&#8217;t have come at a better moment.
