There are so many breathing myths floating around.. this is one of them as pointed out in this quote by
@oxygenadvantage / @buteykoclinic.
No, breathing more air will not oxygenate your body more. On the contrary, less oxygen will be delivered to the brain, tissues and organs. It‘s called the Bohr effect and describes the decrease in the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin in the presence of low pH or high CO2.
It means that:
Less CO2 in the blood = red blood cells hold on to oxygen they carry more.
More CO2 = red blood cells release oxygen more readily.
When you breathe more, you get rid of too much CO2 and red blood cells hold on to oxygen more. This means less oxygen delivery and blood flow.
Here is what we should all do (part of the mission of my work):
Breathe less. L
Breathe slower. S
Use your diaphragm. D
