Yearly PDA Announcement on the Dangers of Mouth Breathing.

I will be posting follow-up pics with explanations if you dont want to take a look at pdf's, youtube vids, and studies. It basically boils down to this: you either maximize facial gains by eating right and breathing right, or you fuck yourself up by not doing it right. Unfortunately, this is most relevant during the development phase of facial growth, if you already an adult, you can still make changes to improve quality of life, but it wont have the same impact as intervention for a teen/child. You can still benefit by teaching your future kids right from wrong, so they dont come on /fit/ making tfw no gf threads.

>and yes this is /fit/ related as breathing technique influences exercise performance.
