The importance of CO2 in increasing oxygen availability

Contrary to popular belief, CO2 plays a crucial role in releasing oxygen into the cells. Through the Bohr effect, increased CO2 levels trigger the release of oxygen from blood cells. This knowledge has implications for improving health and well-being, as increasing CO2 can help alleviate stress, anxiety disorders, and respiratory problems. Breathing through the nose, focusing on diaphragmatic breathing, and practicing techniques like box breathing can help maintain the balance between oxygen and CO2.
