Carbon Dioxide is the key to getting more Oxygen in your Brain
Показать описание
Carbon dioxide level in your body decides if you can have access to your oxygen in the brain and the rest of the body. Let’s say you have 1000 dollars in your bank account, you go to the ATM machine to withdraw the money. You forgot your password. You have the money in the bank, but you cannot access it.
The most common way to measure the oxygen level in your body is by using the pulse oximeter. The pulse oximeter is measuring the oxygen that is bound to the hemoglobin and not freely available to the brain. Conditions have to be right for the hemoglobin to release the oxygen, similar to the password for your money in the bank. The password to release the oxygen is the normal level of Co2.
If you have a low level of Co2, a large percentage of us do. The hemoglobin is not willing to give up its oxygen.
The low level of Co2 also reduces the production of nitric oxide, one of the roles of nitric oxide is to increase blood flow. Thus low Co2 level decreases the blood flow to the brain and the body.
So with low levels of Co2, the blood flow is reduced and hemoglobin is less likely to give up its oxygen.
The normal level of carbon dioxide to have full access to the oxygen is 35 mmHg.
