hey everyone and welcome to top think today we're going to learn about mewing how to 10 times
your looks now let's begin how does someone become more attractive well you could go to the gym you
could improve your diet you could change the way you dress but all of these lifestyle changes have
one thing in common they have little impact on your face the face is widely considered the most
attractive part of the body the eyes the hair the jawline the lips you can find all of these
attractive features on someone's face your face is the most expressive and unique thing about
your appearance it's the first thing people see and the way other people recognize you
we're attracted to a wide variety of body parts but it's the face that we fall in love with
but what if there's something you don't like about your face and we know that going to the
gym could bulk you up or slam you down but how would someone change the shape of their face
in this video you'll learn how to refine and reshape one of the most attractive
facial features in the world the jawline now of course the jawline doesn't just mean
the jaw line it includes the mouth and the chin the neck and the cheeks few people realize how
intimately connected the muscles of your face really are the same muscles that open and close
your mouth sculpt the most prominent parts of your face of all of the attractive features
on the human body the lower half of the face is consistently in the top three because it
decides the shape of your face the most unique and expressive part of your body but here's the
problem your typical gym routine isn't going to refine your jawline there are plenty of physically
fit people whose jawlines are far less sculpted than the rest of their body that's because most
people neglect the muscles around their neck and jawline these are the muscles that turn your head
open your mouth and move your tongue they're muscles we rely on day after day yet we forget
to give these muscles the workout they deserve so what happens over time they get weak they get lazy
and your jawline suffers for it but there's one technique that you can use that targets
your jawline directly a technique that builds and refines the sharp jawline you've always wanted
this technique was pioneered by an orthodontist named dr mike mew dr mew realized that the
posture of your tongue plays a huge role in the shape of your jaw so he developed a simple and
effective routine called mewing mewing has helped thousands of people change the shape of their face
at the core of dr mu's method is proper tongue posture but what does tongue posture actually mean
just take a second to think about where your tongue sits inside your mouth
right now sit up straight align your head with your spine and rest your tongue comfortably in
your mouth does it feel more comfortable on the roof of your mouth or the floor of your mouth
now most of the world drops their tongue to the floor of the mouth and rarely thinks twice about
it but orthodontists like dr mew know something we don't for years orthodontists have been telling
people to improve the posture of their tongue dr mew gave proper tongue posture a catchy name but
it's been around for a long long time in the past orthodontists have helped patients to change their
tongue posture using a dental device called the tongue elevator the tongue elevator does exactly
what you think it elevates your tongue it trains this muscle in your mouth to rest in a different
position instead of the bottom of your mouth your tongue learns to sit at the roof of your mouth
but why does that matter how does changing the position of your tongue reshape your face well
you may not realize it but the mouth specifically the tongue is connected to many different parts
of your body and by changing the posture of your tongue you're not just moving your tongue around
you're shifting the position of your teeth which transforms your bite
and gradually scoots your jaw forward you're opening up your airways you're allowing air
to flow easier through the nose and throat you're relieving stress and pain from your neck and back
by strengthening the key muscles that support your head and last but not least you're developing a
stronger more flexible tongue which helps you chew swallow and speak the impact is pretty
surprising isn't it many people think mewing is made up after hearing all the advantages
of proper tongue posture you may immediately ask how do you know that mewing actually works
while mewing is a relatively new practice it does have some significant research behind it
some of the most compelling evidence comes not from dr mike mew but his father professor john mu
while his son popularized mewing as a method john mew collected all kinds of data on the subject
in the early 1980s he conducted studies and wrote books about the benefits of proper tongue posture
through his work dozens and dozens of patients have seen lifelong changes by mewing consistently
these people sculpted stronger muscles and successfully transform their look but dr mu and
his father aren't the only ones researching tongue posture or elevation a 2018 study in the journal
radiation oncology analyzed the relationship between jaw shape and tongue position it turns out
elevating the resting position of the tongue had a dramatic effect on muscle strength and definition
around the jawline another 2018 study which comes from the 21st annual dental summit found a similar
result this study explored the effect of tongue elevation on tongue pallet distance your palate
is another name for the roof of your mouth in this study researchers discovered that tongue elevation
closes the distance between your tongue and your palate which greatly improves tongue posture you
can actually try this for yourself just like before sit up straight with your head over
your spine now rest your tongue on the bottom of your mouth then try to move your tongue to the
top of your mouth most of us can touch the tips of our tongues to our palates but elevating the
other two-thirds of your tongue may be awkward or impossible the distance between your tongue
and your palate may be too large so your tongue couldn't sit at the roof of your mouth even if
it wanted to that's because right now your tongue is weak the muscles in and around your tongue are
underdeveloped so your tongue doesn't have the strength or flexibility to cross that distance ah
but it's not your fault the posture of your tongue has been poor for years maybe since birth at some
point your tongue muscles got lazy they began to slouch and their strength started to dwindle
it's a lot like slouching your spine if you have always had bad posture sitting up straight feels
difficult and uncomfortable doesn't it that's because your back muscles aren't strong enough to
hold you in the same way your tongue isn't strong enough to elevate itself to the roof of your mouth
ah but luckily there's an easy and accessible answer as you begin newing dr mew recommends
a number of strength building exercises in the same way a bicep curl targets your bicep
these exercises target the specific muscles around your tongue mouth jaw and neck the first of these
exercises is the chin tuck this exercise directly addresses the posture of your head while also
developing the muscles that anchor your tongue to the bottom of your mouth the exercise itself is
very simple all you have to do is move your head forward and back without changing the position of
your neck as you're performing a chin tuck just make sure your chin is not pointing down sideways
keep your entire head straight as you extend your chin forward and then slowly pull your
chin back like any other exercise chin tucks are best performed in brief sets which you can repeat
on a daily basis now alongside chin tucks there are a number of other muscle building
exercises that you can use every day chin-ups pelvic posture exercises and even chewing gum
can improve the strength of your tongue and jaw muscles but the key above all else is persistence
over time if you maintain a strengthening routine you'll notice huge improvements in the strength of
your tongue and the shape of your face hey don't get frustrated if you don't see change right away
when learning to mew many people expect a few repetitions to suddenly correct years of bad
habits your tongue has been resting on the floor of your mouth for a long long time this behavior
is built into the memory of your muscles so don't expect your muscles to change overnight
your tongue may fall naturally to the floor of your mouth even after weeks of practice
but that doesn't mean you're missing the mark that doesn't mean your muscles aren't getting
stronger because they are eventually your tongue will shift to the top of your mouth
your jawline will grow more refined and all of your hard work will pay off hey
if you want to change your appearance if you want to build a sharper jawline be patient
keep up your daily exercises and be mindful of the position of your tongue in your mouth
for some people it happens quickly for others it takes months or even years but over time you'll
train your tongue to rest at the roof of your mouth your teeth will shift your jaw will move
forward your airways will open up and the shape of your face will begin to change hey thank you
