Can Mouth breathing activate the sympathetic nervous system
Mouth breathing often cause a more shallow and faster breathing than nose breathing. Do you agree on that? Would you consider that faster and more shallow breathing as hyperventilation? Are you, as a mouth breather more likely to activate your sympathetic nervous system with your hyperventilation and therefor you can more easily provoke anxiety? Sorry for my poor English

writing by hand
Hello, annyeong haseyo, from South Korea. I hope you're all doing well. I'm really excited to be part of this AMA;it's one of my big challenges. I recall reading an article suggesting that writing by hand may enhance brain connectivity more effectively than typing on a keyboard. This led me to ponder the potential benefits of practicing with both hands to improve cognitive abilities. Could individuals who use both hands potentially experience greater brain connectivity compared to those who predominantly use just one hand? If using both hands does indeed result in superior brain connectivity, should we consider training our non-dominant hand to potentially enhance cognitive function? Furthermore, the article prompted me to contemplate the effects of transcribing with my non-dominant hand, even though I am right-handed. I've been experimenting with transcribing English books to improve my skills, as I've heard that learning a new language helps keep the brain sharp, particularly as we age. Therefore, I'm curious about the potential additional benefits for my brain if I were to try transcribing with my left hand. Thank you for your time and expertise. I hope that all makes sense as an English learner.
