Causes and health benefits of Yawning

Greetings gems. Trust we all are striving for better life wherever we are amidst challenges.

Introduction

I decided to write yawning in this post under heath factor and this is what prompted me to:

During yawning	After yawning

Was so bored and getting feeble, never knew what to do as watching anime videos which is what I does to kill boredom couldn't heal. I yawned with mouth wide open like waaaah then quickly optioned taking embarking on a siesta.
Few seconds after laying in bed, I was already into deep thinking as I always does before sleeping this time around on a topic "why do people yawn when they are weak" . This is what made me to compile this post after some researches about yawning. I've gathered these knowledge below the lines.

What is yawning

What is yawning, what does it mean to yawn ? How does yawning occur/ take place?

Yawning as simple as we may know is a process when one opens his/her jaw so wide which involves taking in of deep breath in then out , making the body to exhale. Yawning gives the body relaxation when exhausted, weak (feeble).

There's a very good chance of blood and fluid been flown in the face, neck and head during the process of yawning as it involves the stretching of wide of the jaw as well, the breath been taken cools the fluids .

Not only does yawning stretches the jaw but also body joints and muscles. More to say about the importance of yawning, it increases the heart rate and also capable of getting the human body prepared for alertness most especially after relaxation.

You may notice that some athletes, actors and some of the people who are about to take a action or commence an activity may decide to yawn for a greater chance of being focus on what they're about to do. Now, yawning happens in adults as well as infants and also animals as well.

Causes of yawning

First off, yawning is an mostly an unexpected process or better involuntary action, it's no doubt a kind of natural phenomenon whereas in some cases, people force themselves to yawn, it's very simple to understand. Like I said earlier and I'll shape it, yawning is being caused as a result of boredom or being tired most times as a response to fatigue or better , sleepiness.
Yawning takes place in different formats, some are short (that's involves just low opening of the jaw), some long (wide opening of the jaw) . More to say about the types of yawning is that, some last for more seconds than others.

Importance of yawning

My aforedefinition of yawning covers the causes as well, the importance in brief and I should explain the importance very well here.

Yawning to some, is just a normal activity of the body. Many of you can agree with me that, many don't know the importance of their yawning, they only know why they yawn, what makes them to, which is either tiredness, boredom, sleepiness or fatigue etc. But these are two different meanings; cause and importance .

In addition to the easily flow of blood, relaxation, exhale etc which I've explained above as the importance of yawning, it also helps in maintaining brain temperature.
Yawning also releases heat, you can confirm this after yawning which makes the eyes to tear up

Conclusion

Medically and naturally, yawning is very vital to the human body. Since it's partly involuntary, we shouldn't dare stop it since the human brain is like an engine which is always working and as such, yawning gives it maximum relaxation. Consider yawning as a hobby, yawn as much as you can.

I believe someone learnt something new, at least small in this post and if you do, kindly smash that comment section for me comrade.
