It seems that many people have a distinct nose reflex
inhibiting the taking of a maximum deep breath.
Just do a few very deep breaths inhaling though the mouth so
that the shoulders are lifted and the chest fully puffed out
and then try holding the nose. The result seems in most people
to be that the lifting of the shoulders and full chest
expansion are inhibited by a distinctly felt reflex.
This is of course not a test of school knowledge or advice
about breathing or about healthy breathing methods.
Does anybody have any information on this? Richard Friedel
