Nasal Breathing vs. Mouth Breathing: The Full Comparison for Performers

You want more energy. Better focus. Clearer thinking.

Start here: how you breathe — every minute — shapes all of it.

You’re either using your breath as a tool…
Or it’s silently draining your system.

Here’s the no-BS comparison of nasal vs. mouth breathing, made for performers — and how Labore Nasal Strips fix the problem at the source.

👃 Nasal Breathing: The High-Performance Standard

✅ Increases nitric oxide (→ oxygen delivery)
✅ Filters, warms, humidifies air
✅ Promotes diaphragm activation
✅ Lowers heart rate + stress baseline
✅ Increases HRV
✅ Boosts sleep quality
✅ Enables focus + calm
✅ Improves endurance + recovery
✅ Strengthens immune response

It’s how the human body was designed to breathe.

👄 Mouth Breathing: The Silent Destroyer

❌ No filtration = more sickness
❌ Dehydration + dry mouth
❌ Less oxygen absorption
❌ Higher heart rate
❌ Shallow, erratic breath rhythm
❌ Activates stress response all day
❌ Low HRV = poor recovery
❌ Snoring, poor sleep, fatigue
❌ Higher risk of anxiety + reactivity

It’s easy…
And it’s killing your performance.
