In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the benefit of breathing better and getting more oxygen when you’re doing the ketogenic diet.

A respiratory quotient (RQ) - Ratio of CO2 production to oxygen consumption

Fat has the lowest RQ, which means you will get the lowest amount of CO2 and the highest amount of oxygen. Carbohydrates have the highest RQ. This is why many people report better breathing on keto. Fat — .7 Ketone — .66 - .73 Protein — .8 Carb — 1.0

Ketoacidosis - It’s not only a drop in your pH and blood pH by a slight degree, but it’s super high blood glucose. You would have to be a diabetic type 1 who is on keto and is not paying attention to insulin to be put in this dangerous state.

A simple remedy would be to take vitamin B1. Calcium will help as well.

The main point here is that one of the incredible added benefits of keto is that it generates less CO2 and produces more oxygen for: • Healthy lungs • Physical fitness • Metabolism • Better sleep

0:43.2	There's something called the respiratory quotient.
0:46.0	So it's really just this exchange of oxygen and CO2 that happens in your body.
0:51.0	So it just so happens that fat has the lowest RQ. So you're
0:56.5	going to get the least amount of carbon dioxide and the most oxygen. This is why a
1:00.5	lot of people report that they're breathing better on the ketogenic diet.
1:03.7	If they had co-pd or emphysema or asthma, they seem to breathe better.
1:09.2	When they're exercising, they can go longer because they have less CO2 and more oxygen. Now a ketone itself, depending on the quantity of ketones, could range even a little less than that to about 0.66 to 0.73.
1:23.8	Protein has a higher RQ, a little bit more CO2, less oxygen.
1:31.0	But look at this, carbohydrates look at this. Carbohydrates have the highest RQ, which means they give
1:36.4	off the most CO2 and the least amount of oxygen. Now that being said, I'm going to bring up this
