My Amazing Nose

On the aesthetics side, apparently it’s a big one…
On the ancestral side, I have no idea, maybe from Portuguese descent?
From a functioning side, it works! (However not so good when near some cats!)

I had a ‘ahhh-ah’ moment when I learnt some of the functions of the nose - so I put my nose to the test and ran a marathon and ultra marathon without any conventional running training (Funny that I didn’t learn this stuff at private school).

👃Do you know the nose regulates our whole breathing system?
- Good breathing begins at the nose. When you breathe nasally you will have a better breathing pattern, with slower more diaphragmatic breathing and less tendency to hyperventilation.

👃Do you know the nose helps us to get more oxygen?
Increases oxygen uptake because the increased nitric oxide we get from nasal breathing helps to open up blood vessels in the lungs.

Why this now?
My earth suit it’s working for me…
…and how wonderful is that!
