Monitoring CO2 levels is crucial as high levels can have negative impacts on health and productivity. Businesses should pay attention to CO2 levels, especially in closed environments like hotels, to prioritize customer health over energy savings. Human growth hormone is essential for cell growth, metabolism, muscle growth, and bone density. Breath holds for 30 seconds or more can stimulate the production of human growth hormone, aiding in healing processes. Sleep apnea and other sleep disorders can inhibit human growth hormone production by disrupting deep sleep stages with continuous struggle for breath. Exploring the benefits of breath holding can help optimize human growth hormone production.
