In a relaxed state it is important to keep the mouth closed. You benefit from breathing through the nose, always. Walking or any exercise train your body to breath through the nose, out the mouth. Why? Your body needs oxygen, the more the better. Breathing through the mouth allows about 2% oxygen to enter, through the nose approximately 8%.

It is also important not to bite down. This helps to maintain healthier teeth.

I relax with my mouth closed.

closed

Closed. My mouth is quite relaxed, my top and bottom teeth dont touch each other.

Closed mouth, but upper and lower jaw are purposely left apart. I have TMJ, so if I clench, I get headaches/jaw pain etc.

your mouth is closed but your teeth do not touch!! DR Walker
