Importance of Monitoring CO2 Levels
Monitoring CO2 levels indoors is crucial as high levels of CO2 can be toxic and impact sleep quality. Research has shown that children exposed to high levels of CO2 scored 50% less on exams. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and fresh air in indoor spaces to improve air quality and avoid negative effects on health.
CO2 Therapy Benefits
CO2 therapy, such as CO2 baths and carbonated water treatments, have been found to have positive effects on the body. Exposing tissues to higher levels of CO2 triggers the release of oxygen and nutrients to the area, potentially improving skin health and overall well-being. CO2 therapy has been used historically in various treatments, including cancer therapy and stress reduction.
The Power of Coherence Breathing
Coherence breathing, characterized by conscious, slow nasal breathing at around five to six breaths per minute, has been found to have numerous benefits. It helps improve stress resilience, lower blood pressure, enhance sleep quality, promote focus and concentration, and even boost heart rate variability. Practicing coherence breathing for at least 20 minutes a day can lead to these positive effects and overall well-being.
The Value of Community in Breathwork
Building a strong and supportive community is essential in the breathwork journey. Connecting with like-minded individuals who share the passion for breathwork can provide encouragement, inspiration, and a sense of belonging. By fostering a sense of community, individuals can share experiences, learn from each other, and continue to grow and improve their breathwork practice.
In today's podcast, Mike Maher breaks down lessons from recent podcast conversations about the confusing effects of Co2, Coherence Breathing Benefits, and the breathwork loneliness issues!
