Here’s an AMAZING approach to issues like apnea, asthma, ADHD, TMJ:
fixing the issues at THE SOURCE… by resolving your facial issues, you
fix the problems permanently… This is STANDARD care in Brazil & Europe –
dentists, dental hygienists, periodontists, endodontists, sleep drs, cosmetic surgeons, etc.
(I was referred by my chiro, Dr Blum, who is always on the cutting edge 🙂
Retraining your jaw muscles and tongue muscles will enlarge your airway.
It EVEN helps cosmetically – like a mini face-lift…
Apparently, mouth-breathing, bottle feeding, pacifiers and the like deform your jaw and teeth, creating long-term breathing issues. Add a little weight after 50, too many soft foods, bad tongue, chewing and breathing habits, weak jaw muscles = diminished airway… LOTS of repercussions – Asthma, ADHD, Apnea, UARS, dry mouth, jaw pain, TMJ, grinding teeth, etc. Chewing STIMULATES the secretion of digestive enzymes, which keeps digests your foods.
