The tongue's position plays a role in directing airflow for breathing. 👅

When the tongue is up and sealed to the palate, it helps create a seal that encourages airflow through the nose.

Lowering the tongue allows air to flow in and out of the mouth, which is how mouth breathing occurs. The tongue's position can impact the passage of air and influence the breathing route.

Where is your tongue at rest?

Finally! We have been talking about this for years: nasal breathing and mouth-taping in sports performance!

We were delighted to see this article as Iga Swiatek prepares for the Canadian Open.

Research shows that stamina on the pitch is directly related to breathing efficiency. When your breathing is slower, circulation and oxygenation are better. Which means you have more energy when you need it.

Breathing becomes more efficient when you decrease your sensitivity to CO2. When tolerance to CO2 is low, you will experience more breathlessness. And your breathing muscles will have to work harder.

The OA™ uses a measure called the BOLT score. The BOLT is an objective measure of sensitivity to CO2 and to breathlessness.

To measure your BOLT score, you will need a stopwatch or timer that counts in seconds.

Instruction:

- Take a normal, silent breath in through your nose.
- Allow a normal, silent breath out through your nose.
- Hold your nose with your fingers to prevent air from entering your lungs.
- Count the number of seconds until you feel the first distinct desire to breathe in.
- Many pro athletes start out with a BOLT score of about 20 seconds. If you have asthma it might be lower. With regular practice of the breathing exercises, you’re aiming to reach 40 seconds.

The exercises improve tolerance to CO2 and can be integrated into your football fitness training drills. Better tolerance to CO2 will significantly increase your exercise capacity.

When your BOLT score is 40 seconds, breathing is light and slow during rest and moderate exercise, and the nervous system is well balanced.

Tongue-Tie Update: What Dentists Need to Know About This Common Condition Like many of you, when I finished dental school, I had some idea of what a tongue-tie is and how it can impact speech and possibly gum recession. But in four years of dental school, we had only one slide on tongue-tie treatment, and in pediatric residency, we read only one article on tongue-ties, wh...

Congratulations Colin Sullivan
The Sleep Research Society have given an outstanding Scientific Achievement Award to Colin Sullivan. The award recognises novel and seminal discoveries of a basic, clinical or theoretical nature that have made a significant impact on the sleep field.

Colin Sullivan, PhD, is a professor and chair of the research committee in the department of medicine at the University of Sydney, and a consultant physician with the Children’s Hospital at Westmead and the Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick. Beyond the identification of the significant influence of sleep on breathing, his major scientific achievements have included the characterization of the pathophysiology of adult sleep apnea; the invention of nasal CPAP in 1980, now the ‘gold standard’ treatment of sleep apnea; the development of non-invasive ventilation during sleep to manage respiratory failure; the recognition of the extent of upper airway obstruction in infantile apnea; the development of human fetal monitoring technology, and the discovery of the mechanism of sleep-induced worsening of blood pressure in pre-eclampsia.

Thanks for the great first meeting today, President Joe Biden. We are united in our commitment to defeating and supporting our people through this pandemic and in the recovery.

Vice President Kamala Harris, whether it's your family in Mississauga, or your friends in Montreal, Canadians are proud of you, and it will be my pleasure to welcome you in person to Canada, once the pandemic allows us to do so.

And Janet Yellen, it was great to continue our conversations today on how we can further support people and businesses for an economic recovery that is strong, sustainable and inclusive.
