THE BREATHING CONNECTION TO HORMONES LIKE INSULIN

THE BREATHING CONNECTION TO HORMONES LIKE INSULIN

Rapid breathing, sighing, rapid exhalation causes you to loose too much Carbon Dioxide and it is this loss that can make you ill. Carbon dioxide is a cohort of oxygen and without enough you will end up being oxygen deficient as well.

C02 is a regulator of proteins. Every protein in the body has attached to it a group called an amine. Amines are sticky and attach themselves to Carbon dioxide. If there is not enough Carbon Dioxide in the body these amines will instead attach to sugars in the blood stream.

A protein with a sugar attached is toxic and becomes a waste product that needs to be removed from the body.

What is the role of proteins in the body? Each of the thousands of proteins in our body has a different role; they may be hormones, neurotransmitters, enzymes or antibodies. The above are considered structural proteins that build our bodies and keep us healthy.

What IS the role of hormones. These proteins help the body communicate with itself. Take insulin and its effect on Diabetes as an example. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas and its job is to tell the cells of the body to open to let glucose in so they can make energy. If the insulin hormone proteins have sugars attached instead of Carbon Dioxide, insulin can`t work as designed. The result of this is, cells don?t then get the fuel or energy they need, the pancreas makes more insulin, and the liver releases more sugar into the blood stream. The result is more insulin with sugar attached, cells that are starving and losing energy, and the final result if this continues is diabetes.

Instead, breathe deep into the diaphragm or belly, blow out your air more slowly all to increase your arterial level of CO2. Most people, over 66% are over-breathing. Please visit my website to learn more about the subject of breathing.

Until you know your C02 level you will not know if you are breathing correctly. Most people are hyperventilating or over-breathing and don?t know it. You have to measure your C02 in your exhalation to know if you are over-breathing. There is no other way to know. Oxygen and C02 are true partners in the game of breathing.
