| 0:00.0 | Now, we've all been told that getting more oxygen into ourselves is a really, really good thing. |
| 0:04.6 | So many diseases occur because of this lack of oxygen, whether it's is schemia, hypoxia, |
| 0:11.5 | whatever. Oxygen is a good thing. So today I'm going to reveal a secret of how to increase |
| 0:19.6 | available oxygen into your cells. And so you probably already know |
| 0:24.9 | that sleeping with the window open is going to help increase oxygen. Maybe having more plants in |
| 0:30.8 | your room are going to give you more oxygen. You also probably know that exercise will increase |
| 0:36.2 | oxygen, specifically aerobic type exercise. |
| 0:39.2 | That's the exercise that occurs maybe when you're walking or a slight jog. |
| 0:44.4 | Being outside of nature will also give you more oxygen, right? |
| 0:47.7 | I recently did a video and talked about methylene blue can give you more oxygen to the cells, |
| 0:53.4 | which is pretty interesting. |
| 0:54.8 | But there is a very interesting secret about oxygen that I'm going to share with you right now |
| 1:01.3 | that you may or may not know about. In order to increase the available oxygen into the cells, |
| 1:06.8 | the release of oxygen out of your blood cells, there is a trigger. There is this thing that controls |
| 1:16.4 | it. And that is CO2. That's right. CO2. You see, you probably thought CO2 was a waste product |
| 1:24.9 | and it's not needed, you know, as you're breathing out all the CO2. |
| 1:29.0 | And by the way, when you're breathing out, an average person is probably breathing out, |
| 1:33.2 | I don't know, maybe 25 to 75% oxygen. So it's not all CO2. You're breathing a lot of oxygen |
| 1:40.8 | out too because it's not being absorbed. CO2 is the key for the releasing of |
| 1:47.7 | O2. And it's called the Boer effect, B-O-H-R effect. CO2 tells the body to release O2. And the way it works |
| 1:59.6 | is that CO2 increases the acidity, makes things more acid, |
| 2:03.5 | and then that loosens up the oxygen so it can then be released. Take a look at someone that |
