If your nose is clogged you can breathe through your mouth because the nasal passages open into the nasal cavity which opens into the back of your mouth at the top of your throat. There are two passages down your throat - your oesophagus and trachea. The <span>oesophagus</span> leads down into your stomach and the trachea leads into your lungs. While you can breathe through your mouth when your nose is blocked, it is important to breathe through your nose instead of your mouth. Your nose contains tiny hairs which act as filters to filter out dust and other contaminants in the air.

<h3>What is Asthma ?</h3>

A chronic (long-lasting) disease that affects the lungs' airways is asthma. The tubes that let air into and out of your lungs are called airways. The airways may occasionally swell and restrict if you have asthma. As a result, it is more difficult for air to leave your airways when you exhale.

Urban dwellers and those who grew up there are more likely to get asthma. Asthma is more likely to affect obese or overweight kids and adults. Although the causes are unknown, some doctors suggest that being overweight causes low-grade inflammation in the body.
