nose breathing
Inhaling through nostrils
Nose breathing is inhaling and exhaling through the nasal passages rather than the mouth.
The term appears in wellness and athletic contexts, where advocates claim nose breathing improves oxygen uptake, filters air, and promotes calm: I switched to nose breathing during my runs.
