Which nostril are you breathing through right now?

>> No.5836469

You never knew?
Most people don't completely breathe out of one, but rather use one nostril for most of the air flow most of the time.
So it's not 1 on 2 off, but 1 ~80% 2 ~20%.

This nostril cycle is normal to allow each side time to recover and repair itself from exposure to air.

Enjoy breaking your nose.

all of them

>> No.5839201

Right nostril.

Pretty sure it's a deviated septum. It doesn't switch at all.

>For instance, a study in 1988 showed that breathing through your right nostril significantly increases blood glucose levels, while breathing through your left nostril has the opposite effect. It is speculated from this that abnormal nasal cycles, such as breathing through your right nostril for many years without a switch, may be one cause of diabetes.
This, however, is some frank bullshit.
