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 attached 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.
While there are thousands of enzymes in the body acting as catalysts to make something happen, let`s look at one of these, the digestive enzymes. As we age we seem to be using up our digestive enzymes and as a result of this we are not properly digesting our foods and absorbing the nutrients they have to offer us. Enzymes with a sugar attached to the amine are not functioning as they should. This is a problem in addition to the whole argument of cooked versus raw foods. One has nothing to do with the other, other than exacerbating the problem.
Without adequate levels of C02 due to over-breathing, we will end up eating more, digesting less and progressively absorbing less and less.
I visited China years ago and had the most remarkable eating experience. We were served at least 14 barely braised vegetables each day along with other foods. This visit was a Chi Qong trip where I practiced my breathing from 6 am until midnight each day. I can attest to the above digestive experience of eating good food and breathing properly and consciously all day. I had so little bowel excretion during this time I was amazed. I felt wonderful.
Eat well and breathe properly to have the best of health!
