Social support can affect health both indirectly and directly. It can indirectly affect your health by making you feel involved and cared for which can increase your will to remain healthy. For example, many cancer patients are put into support groups whose sole purpose is to fill in the gaps and inspire the patients to keep fighting. A direct way it can help is by reducing stress. Stress is a great factor in diseases like cardiovascular disease or obesity. Therefore, social support can lower stress which directly lowers your chance to obtain these diseases. Hope this helped :))

Why can I only breathe through one nostril, how do I breathe through both?​
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Our bodies deliberately send more blood to an erectile tissue between the two nostrils to increase its size and direct the air flowing through one of the nostrils. After a few hours, the airflow switches to the other nostril.

Explanation:

I’ll bet most people don’t realize that when you breathe through your nose, you do so more from one nostril than the other and your body knows to switch to the other nostril every few hours. I had no idea. I’m only aware of any difference in my nostrils when I’m congested!

This nasal cycle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system which also controls things we don’t think about like heart rate and breathing

Why do we do this? Some scientists believe the alternating airflow allows each nostril to maintain optimal moisture levels so no one side gets dried out. It may also protect against respiratory infections or allergies.

Others believe it’s tied to our olfaction or sense of smell. It’s possible that the quicker and slower airflow in each nostril optimizes us to the vast range of smells. Some smells take longer to detect and transmit to the brain.
