NOTE

The Importance of CO2 Tolerance for Breathing and Health

The body's oxygen level is not the main driver for the urge to breathe, but rather the rising levels of CO2 in the brain stem. Shallow breathers and mouth breathers expel too much CO2, leading the brain to become overly sensitive to high CO2 levels. A test to measure the urge to breathe serves as an indicator of CO2 tolerance. CO2 in the bloodstream is crucial for accessing oxygen, and increasing CO2 tolerance reduces twitchiness and anxiety. Improving breathing mechanics can help manage low back pain and enhance overall physical performance.
