The role of nasal breathing is to maintain the naturally balanced circulation of air in our body. And so, provide enough oxygen to our muscles to allow us to recover more quickly from an effort and gain endurance.

1) Sleep: Improved quality of sleep and reduced snoring.

3) Strength: Allowing you to push yourself beyond your comfort zone so that you may benefit from extra repetitions at the end of your workout.
