Do not put baby food in the mouth
 Mr. Okazaki is on the website of the Japanese Society of Maxillofacial Occlusion (http://kokumin.ago.ac/) was played at the venue.
 A XNUMX-year-old tries to eat food from a spoon, but is unable to put it into his mouth from the spoon resting on his lower lip.Some children use their tongues to try and get food.
 The upper lip doesn't move and doesn't show any signs of stretching, so it can't catch food.
 “The reason why the upper lip does not move is because the parents put the baby food in their mouth from the time they give it to them. Without it, the upper lip does not move.This also leads to mouth breathing.”
 On the other hand, Mongolian children, who have been accustomed to eating meat on the bone since they were little, have had to put pressure on their lips and move them subtly on a daily basis, so they all keep their mouths shut.
 “Mastication involves chewing with the back teeth. In fact, predation precedes mastication,” says Okazaki.Predation is the capture of food.For that purpose, move the lips and tongue well and mobilize the front teeth when trying to bite.
 He explained that if you take measures such as using thick sticks when eating raw vegetables and using large ingredients for curry, you will naturally use your front teeth, which will increase the number of times you chew with your back teeth.

A mouth-breathing child who can't "fu" can't extinguish a candle
 First of all, from the benefits of nose breathing.
 Like in Mongolia, even if the outside temperature is minus XNUMX degrees Celsius, the cold outside air inhaled through the nose is instantly warmed to nearly body temperature by the capillaries in the nose and sent to the lungs. increase.
 In addition, the nose, like the saliva in the mouth, secretes water to keep the air moist.This is because the lungs are vulnerable not only to the cold, but also to dryness.
 Influenza, which is prevalent in winter, prefers dryness and is vulnerable to humidity, so if you breathe through your nose, you will be less likely to catch the flu.
 "Breathing through your nose is a natural mask."
 Conversely, in the case of mouth breathing, the influenza virus reaches the lungs directly without being heated or humidified.
 The video that Mr. Okazaki introduced with the preamble, "There are many other problems with mouth breathing," had a great impact on the audience.
 This is a scene in which a child who normally breathes through his mouth tries to blow out a candle.Instead of puckering her lips and exhaling "hu", the child who faced the candle kept her mouth open in the shape of "ha" and was blowing on her.Naturally, the candle does not go out easily.
I'm not good at closing my mouth so much that I can't "fu".
