Is Nose Breathing Better for You? (And Why the O2Trainer Uses Mouth Breathing)
There’s a lot of confusion about nose breathing versus mouth breathing — especially when it comes to training with the O2Trainer. This video by @OfficialBasRutten clears it up.
Nose breathing is incredibly important. It supports posture, filters harmful bacteria, improves oxygen absorption, and even boosts nitric oxide production — a natural vasodilator that helps open your blood vessels and increase circulation. It also helps protect your sense of smell, supports your heart and intestines, and can reduce issues like snoring, gum disease, fatigue, and sleep apnea.
So why does the O2Trainer focus on mouth breathing?
Because it’s targeted resistance training for your breathing muscles — just like lifting weights at the gym. You’re not breathing through your mouth all day with the device, only for about 30 focused breaths. That’s like doing a controlled set of reps for your respiratory system. After training, your nose breathing actually becomes more powerful and efficient.
If you care about performance, recovery, and building true lung strength, combining nose breathing with short sessions using the O2Trainer is a smart, effective strategy.
