The Oxygen Advantage Breathing Technique

There is so much more to breathing than taking a full breath, it is essential to look at the depth of breathing in relation to biochemistry, biomechanics, and the psycho-physiological component. Through biochemistry, you can influence your blood circulation and oxygen delivery. Additionally, you can decrease your degree of breathlessness during rest, sleep, and physical exercise. When it comes to biomechanics, you can enhance functional movement and also the area between the diaphragm and the upper airway dilator muscles during sleep to assist in lessening the risk of obstructive sleep apnea.

The diaphragm also has an impact on our emotions. Therefore, by looking at breathing from a biomechanical point of view, we can enhance a number of systems within the human body. By slowing down breathing, we are looking at resonance frequency breathing and by slowing the breath down to between 4.5 and 6.5 breaths per minute, we strengthen the baroreflex, reduce the chemosensitivity of the body to carbon dioxide, stimulate the vagus nerve and boost heart rate variability. When it comes to breathing, we must target all three dimensions. What connects all three in harmony is breathing in and out through the nose.

Where do I find out how to do the actual breathing technique?

Hi Patrick, I have a question.
Does lying most of the time in bed affect breath rate or breath volume ?

[beatdowngamerfan]

You through Gods will saved my life a week ago when I was suffering through chronic hyperventilation

Could you help me with this pls;
I’m breathing slow, exercising, good diet, but still getting the urge to take deep breaths I know now it’s cause of intolerance to co2 but when will the urges to take a deep breath go ????pls help I was really suicidal over this but now I feel a bit better thank you so much sir !!!

Patrick, if I have a 2 mile fitness test max effort (time trial) on a Wednesday for example, how many days before that should I do breath holds and how long do I hold the breath and how many reps ??thanks

The problem with breathing slower is that there is a possibility of death because when you have less oxygen in the body, you are not oxidizing the pre-cursor of ATP into ATP either glucose or fatty acids. By that, your cells are dying not to mention if the mitochondria die that would mean a few seconds to the apoptosis cascade to being initiated.
