Nose Exercises

The nose is very happy after winter outdoor exercises like walks or jogging, if pavements are snow free.

One of the first thing the body demands when you get home, is a good nose blow. That’s the only time when we think about it, as part of the exercise routine.

We are acutely aware of the nose now, because of COVID-19 and masks. The nose does its thing which leads to throwing away disposable masks and washing cloth ones.

The nose loves outdoor exercise because it gets complete attention. How? It detoxes during that crisp morning winter air. Normally, the nose doesn’t get good reviews. I have a runny nose. I’m tired of blowing my nose because of this flu. He cried his eyes out and his nose ran. Not a good sight.

The nose also gets bad vibes from wealthy people who don’t like their noses. They pay somebody to ‘fix’ them surgically. It’s hard for me to understand though, because nature was not on drugs when it put the whole face together. I can’t believe how perfect I am.

During exercise, we concentrate on abs and flat tummies so much, we forget that the nose is a triumvirate: ear nose and throat. It is so important some doctors are ENT specialists.

Then comes proverbs. She has a nose for business. His nose is buried in books. I smell a rat. Last word? Remember the nose is part of workout.
