163 - How Poor Breathing is Linked to ADHD and Bedwetting w/ Dr. Ben Miraglia
Description
In today’s episode, Dr. Miraglia and I discuss sleep-disordered breathing, mouth breathing, and the impact it can have on our overall health.
Dr. Miraglia highlights the detrimental effects of mouth breathing on our health. From obstructive sleep apnea to fragmented sleep cycles, mouth breathing can lead to a host of health issues, including bedwetting, anxiety, mood disorders, and even behavioral problems like ADHD. Understanding the connection between mouth breathing and these health issues is crucial for early intervention and treatment.
One of the key solutions discussed in this episode was the significance of nasal hygiene and myofunctional therapy in improving breathing patterns. Dr. Miraglia emphasizes the importance of cleaning the nose regularly and retraining the muscles in the head and neck to promote proper breathing. These simple yet effective techniques can make a significant difference in addressing breathing issues, especially in children.
A key insight from this episode is the significant impact of early dietary habits on jaw development. Dr. Miraglia highlights the importance of introducing harder foods at a young age, emphasizing how this transition supports proper muscle function and promotes healthy jaw growth. This proactive approach can help prevent issues like crowded teeth and mouth breathing, laying the groundwork for better breathing and overall health in the long term.
This episode with Dr. Miraglia is truly eye-opening, and I highly recommend giving it a listen to gain valuable insights of sleep-disordered breathing and its impact on our health.
