Symptoms of Alkaline Imbalance: Air Hunger and B1 Deficiency

Experiencing air hunger or having difficulty breathing might be a result of an acidic imbalance in the blood, known as acidosis, which is often associated with a deficiency in vitamin B1 (thiamine). B1 plays a crucial role in supporting mitochondrial function and energy production. Without adequate levels of B1, the mitochondria struggle to efficiently burn fuel, leading to lactic acid buildup and a lack of oxygen. B1 deficiency is commonly caused by consuming excessive carbohydrates and sugars, which increases the need for B1. Adopting a ketogenic diet can be beneficial in improving B1 levels.
