From Dr. Wendi’s Desk:

How is Covid-19 associated with my mouth?
Your mouth is the largest access to the inside of your body. In this season where many breathe through their mouths it is essential to understand how important nasal breathing is to decrease the effects of Covid-19. Nasal breathing warms and lubricates the air you breathe, protecting your respiratory system. It increases oxygen levels in your blood which increases systemic healing. But most importantly, it cleans the air you are breathing by stimulating NO (Nitric Oxide) which is produced mainly in our sinuses. This is a potent antimicrobial against VIRUSES, bacteria, and fungi. Nitric Oxide is not produced during mouth breathing. Nasal breathing while wearing a mask and respirators is also known to reduce headaches, and dizziness.

Oral breathing is drying both for the respiratory system and the body. It increases dehydration, and inflammation making the tonsils and adenoids the primary filters.

Nitric Oxide is important for our health and wellness and can also be found in green vegetables. By the way, humming in known to increase the bodies NO. If you add humming to your nasal breathing, you will trigger your parasympathetic nervous system which in turn causes RELAXATION. 🙂

Assure you work hard to breathe through your nose during this Covid-19 and Pneumonia season.

Any suggestions for staying safe and healthy during this season?
Alkaline your system with fruits and veggies, understand that 80% of your immune system is in your digestive system. Therefore, our immune system is primarily based on what we eat and drink. Eat and drink healthy by staying away from artificial, acidic foods and drinks. Stay hydrated with WATER, it is 80% of your body. This virus is attracted to dry, sticky people so stay moist, and lubricated. Be encouraged, wise and blessed staying healthy and safe.
