So this is an importantīoundary because people will talk about the Tract, and then, of course, you can then guess thatĪnything below the line must then be our lower This dashed line is our upper respiratory The mouth and the nose- and this is considered our I've included the larynx and of course, all It's actually kind of brokenīoundary right here. The air molecule, the oxygen molecule has already kind of Stop it right there because I want to show you that Molecule of oxygen, so let's follow that moleculeĪ little bit further down. That the epiglottis, that lid, is working really well. Water to go that way, but you don't want food and To go down the esophagus because it's going to Here, and this purple tube, is our esophagus So theĮsophagus is basically, it's fantastic for things Tube I just alluded to, and it's sitting right Larynx from making sure that food and water And the epiglottis isīasically like a lid kind of protecting the Was the name I had mentioned previously, voice Larynx our voice box, so you might remember that It can either go kind ofĭown one of two paths. These are two majorĭifferences, right? So now the air or little The outside, the air is a little colder and drier. Mouth, it's going to be warmer and also more moist. It went through the nose, but either way, nose or Molecule and the air around it is going to be slightlyĭifferent in other ways. Interesting difference is that already, that oxygen Molecule of oxygen is going to kind of end upĪt the back of the throat. Nose, that would be basically kind of cleaningĪ new way maybe of thinking about that habit. And kind of thinkingĪlong the same route, if you think about picking your Nose to air that you breathe in through your mouth,Ī little dirtier, because they didn't have And so of course, if youĬompared nose air or the air that you breathe in through your In through our nose, the air is basicallyĬlean or at least cleaner than it would be otherwise. Kind of cleaning up the air so that when we breathe To glom onto it, and so that is our way of This small particles of dust and dirt are going Is good for small particles, because it's really sticky, and You think of it as snot, this snot or mucus That we all kind of make, and this mucus sometimes, Green slime, right? this kind of green mucus So they're good for gettingĪll the large particles out of the air so it's cleaned up. Particles of dirt and dust are kind of picked up. System and there's nose hair, and their job is to Of our filter system, so we have this great filter With nose hairs is what the heck is their purpose? What do they do? And nose hairs are part Nose, these little yellow nose hairs, and the first In the back of the throat, and the mouth kind ofĮmpties into the same spot. To end up, and this is my nose kind of going Of the back of the throat is where it's going Of end up in the same place or so we think, right? We said that basically kind In either through the nose or through the mouth. If our lungs are already warm and moist, do you think that it would be better to put very dry air, or humid air into our lungs?Īnd I've drawn their face, and you can see in blue at theīottom I've drawn their voice box, and I'm going to show youĮxactly what happens when you draw a little moleculeĪlong it's journey. On another note, think about the alveoli in our lungs? Our lungs are moist and warm for the diffusion of oxygen. After a session in a steam room, the bather usually feels more relaxed, which can help to reduce problems related to insomnia and poor sleeping." - this may be a load of rubbish, but it is what I read. In addition, a steam room can help to reduce joint pain and the symptoms of arthritis. The dry heat of a sauna is sometimes too intense for the lungs to handle, and the gentler moist heat of a steam room helps to relax and open up the lungs and bronchial tubes. Steam rooms are also very helpful for people who suffer from asthma and respiratory conditions. The skin will be cleaner, softer, and healthier, especially if an exfoliating scrub is used in the steam room to remove the outer layer of dead skin. The steam room will also help the body eliminate toxins, forcing them out through the resulting sweat. After a workout, a session in the steam room will help to keep the body relaxed and flexible, so that it will not lock up as a result of hard exercise. "The warm, moist air increases the body's circulation and also loosens and relaxes muscles and joints. This can result in health benefits, especially when a steam room is used safely and frequently.
