The health expert, most known for his creation of the 5:2 and Fast 800 diets, has explained how breathing through your mouth can damage your teeth and gums.
Doctor Michael Mosley has explained how beneficial breathing through your nose is for your health compared to inhaling through your mouth.
"Chronic mouth breathing can reduce the amount of saliva you produce, making your mouth dry and increasing the risk of things like tooth decay and inflamed gums," Michael said.He added: "Nose breathing could also give your brain a boost. In a recent study, 22 volunteers were given a memory test while they were in a brain scanner.
"Researchers noticed that whenever the participants inhaled through their nose, brain activity related to that task increased and they perform the task more accurately."
