Breathing through nose can help you get sharp memory

If you are in a coat of breathing through your nose, you are at an upper hand in terms of memory. Reason, a recent research has shown that breathing through nose boosts your memory. According to the scientists, breathing through our nostrils, the transfer of our life to the world.

The study made participants get exposed to certain odours with their mouths, which were better than recalling the odors when they inhaled through their nostrils, instead of using their mouth to breathe in. The findings focus on cognition, highlighted a recent media report.

Interestingly, this study has also shown that fading sense of smell is one of the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. Professor Artin Arshamian, of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, reportedly said: 'Memories pass through three main stages in their development – encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. Breathing through the nose compared to the mouth during consolidation enhances recognition memory. This demonstrates, first, that nasal respiration is important during the critical period when memories are reactivated and strengthened. Second, it suggests the neural responsible mechanisms may emerge from nasal breathing.
