4 Daily Habits to Support a Healthy Airway

Your nose filters, warms, and humidifies the air you breathe. Nasal breathing supports oxygen uptake, facial development, and deep, restful sleep.

Try This:

• Keep lips gently closed throughout the day and during sleep
   
• Notice when you’re mouth breathing and gently redirect to nasal breathing

Your tongue plays a vital role in supporting the airway, swallowing, and craniofacial development. Proper resting posture  is key to long-term oral and airway health. 

Try This:

• Use the REMastered Sleep Nozzle each night to strengthen posterior tongue posture and support airway stability
   
• This approach is supported by the work of Dr. Soroush Zaghi and The Breathe Institute:  Practice: “tongue up, lips closed, breathe through your nose” throughout the day. 

Chewing activates the muscles that support your jaw, airway, and digestion. It also encourages saliva production and helps maintain oral cleanliness.

Try This:

• Use Underbrush Masticatory Gum for 5–10 minutes after each meal. It delivers hydroxyapatite to strengthen enamel and promote tooth remineralization.  

•   Read Jaws co-authored by Dr. Sandra Kahn, creator of Forwardontics, to learn how diet and oral habits shape our airway and facial development. 

End your day by clearing out allergens, toxins, and buildup—so you can sleep and breathe better.

Try This (Nighttime Routine):

• Use a saline nasal rinse such as a squeeze bottle, neti pot, or Naväge system to flush out the nasal passages
   
• Follow with Xlear nasal spray, which contains xylitol to moisturize, soothe, and protect the nasal lining

Train your body to breathe more efficiently. This practice can reduce stress, improve oxygen delivery, and support better sleep and airway function.

Try This:

• Sit or lie down comfortably. Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Inhale slowly through your nose, letting your belly rise while your chest stays still. Exhale gently through your nose or pursed lips. Practice for 2–5 minutes daily.
