I am 12 years old and I love your videos, i always had this breathing problem and people would tell me to breathe deeply but it never helped, this video was literally life changing, you are the best❤❤❤❤
You came to the right place kid! It's amazing how much natural therapies can help us. Dr Berg will teach you a Lot about human physiology and makes it Interesting
Sharing Dr Berg notes on this interesting episode: Deep breathing does not increase blood oxygen levels. In fact, it can cause dizziness, make you tired, and even make you pass out. Your red blood cells will not release oxygen unless enough carbon dioxide (CO2) is present. This is known as the Bohr effect. This means that the amount of oxygen released from your blood into your cells is dependent upon CO2. If you’re breathing a lot or hyperventilating, you’ll get too much oxygen and not enough CO2. Too much oxygen can be dangerous to the body. If you give a baby too much oxygen, it can cause blindness, an epileptic seizure, or a coma. Too much oxygen also causes oxidation. People in a panicked state experience acute hyperventilation. Chronic hyperventilation, also known as carbon dioxide syndrome, is a lack of carbon dioxide that occurs when a person is consuming too much air. This is often triggered by stress. Mouth-breathing can deplete CO2 and inhibit oxygen absorption at the cellular level. This can affect the heart and cause hypoxia, fatigue, insomnia, muscle twitching, and increased histamine. To fix this problem, you need to train your body to breathe properly to get oxygen deep into the cells by doing the following: ➡1. Relax your breathing. Take soft, gentle breaths through your diaphragm and stomach, not your upper chest. Breathe in slowly for 5 seconds and exhale for 5 seconds. Practice this before you sleep at night, while driving, or while watching TV. This simple breathing technique can help your body get out of fight-or-flight mode. You can even use a free app to help you time your breathing! ➡2. Breathe through your nose. Your nose cleans, humidifies, and filters the air before it enters your lungs. Nose breathing increases your oxygen by 20%! ➡3. Use nose strips. Nose strips can help open your airways and sinuses while you sleep to help you breathe better. ➡4. Use mouth tape. Mouth tape can help you breathe through your nose while you sleep. You can filter the air all night, get more oxygen, and sleep better. You won’t wake up with a dry mouth, and you’ll wake up feeling refreshed. Mouth tape might even stop your snoring! Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
@@verballyabusiveclown6290I use the Wim Hoff breathing method every morning. During the breathing session I do breathe through my mouth, but generally I breathe through my nose. Breathe Along with Wim Hoff is the RU-vid video I use.
This man is doing such a good thing for human kind. He’s changed my life, I pass it on to others, they pass it on and so on. Of course those who don’t like what he’s doing will send others to attack his research. If others were not attacking you that’s when I would be worried! The more they come the more we are interested. 🙏
I had "chronic" hyperventilation thing, it lasted for three and a half years and I almost deleted myself over it. It's no joke, and you're not taken seriously either and get ZERO help from doctors, they just say that you have anxiety or are crazy. Got depressed, stopped eating, had trouble sleeping, got into walking for long distances until I got so exhausted that I passed out. Losing the weight was probably what did it the most since I probably had sleep apnea (no more) and get proper sleep-ish now. But there is hope that you can get over it and you are NOT crazy. (whoever is reading this)
Thats why breathing techniques like wim hof's and free divers hold their breaths for extended amounts of time after forcefully hyperventilating. Just hyperventilating without incorporating the breath hold is bad of course. The extended breathe hold creates the surplus of co2 needed for the bio mechanism to work. I am able to hold my breathe for upwards of 4mins after exercising cycles of these techniques. It has restored, improved, maintained my lung capacity from extensive smoking in my earlier years and instilled a much needed AWARENESS to know how to consciously breathe whenever im feeling tired, weak or anxiety.
Only had to try the tape a couple of nights and then I could do it without … after DECADES of mouthbreathing during sleep 😣 what a difference. And boxbreathing exercises helps me all of the time: in 8-10 sec, hold 8-10 sec, out 8-10 sec, hold 8-10 sec. (Repeat 10 times, in thru the nose, out through the mouth) Your stress and nervous thoughts will disappear. Concentrate on counting and hold as long as you like.
I've been nose-breathing for a year now thanks to your videos Dr. Berg. I'm on Search and Rescue and almost had to step back from being a grunt to taking on a leadership role due to my gout and what I thought was old age issues. Yesterday we had a training exercise and guess who wasn't huffing and puffing doing a heavy patient-litter carryout?
Another great breathing technique is called "R.S.A." 👊 Almost 20 years ago, I learned about The Johari Window - Building Self Trust, Albert Ellis's - Rational Self Analysis, etc. It was then that not only did I start making better health choices, but I also realized that a 6th grade education wasn't bad at all! Special thanks to Ms. Anderson! ❤ Happy Saturday, everyone, and thanks again, Dr. Berg! 🙂
🤔 How does self trust relate to topic? Are we limited in health because we hate ourselves? And deprived of oxygen? Or just a a promotion for something? Please respond…❤
@@clementineforever I had a mentor that taught me to be positive and avoid the negative and it was a basis to change of attittude. Granted you still have time you rant and gripe but change to positive becomes a positive effect. Change the people around you to be a positive effect. C.N.1 is correct! Vid on Albert Ellis (brief) Albert Ellis: A Guide to Rational Living - Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove (may help). Good luck and breathing helps, try to relax and calm yourself. Nutient such as B1 helps calm too.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I've been talking about this for a long time. That our cells need carbon dioxide to receive oxygen (intercellular gas exchange in animals). I recently explained this to my husband but You explained it perfectly. Buteyko breathing method, this is an excellent method of learning how to breathe properly (Doctor Konstantyn Pawłowicz Butejko/ Buteyko the russian doctor born 27/01/1923 died 02/05/2003). 💕💕💕
Very helpful information. I am learning a lot about breathing at this time due to some heart issues. I think we tend to take short, gasping breathes often during the day. A slowing down of our breath helps us relax. Thank you so much for helping here.
You mentioned feeling light headed, seeing stars and feeling dizzy...I thought I was having a spiritual awakening😂. I keep hearing the term breath work. It's all connected.
Just think about this without God our Father and savior Creator we wouldn't even be able to have another breath or beat from our heart let us fully trust in , rely upon and to know JESUS and the power of His resurrection❤
I started 100% breathing in and out through my nose 1 1/2 years ago. This has made a huge difference in my health, my thinking, and my overall athletic performance, including when I swim breathing in and out only through my nose. I now teach anyone who listens to close their mouth, even the children in my life. I only regret I didn't start this 65 years ago. Try it, it's free, and it's the way we were made to breathe.
I have histamine intolerance and when I hold my breathe for various reasons, even at times you don't realize you hold your breath like when doing something, like mopping or coughing...I have a histamine reaction. My histamine reaction comes in the form of feeling like I can't breathe. So I have to take a quarter of a Zyrtec for it to go away. Working on finding the root cause of this histamine issue. But I am happy to hear someone else talking about breathing and histamine reaction. I have never heard anyone else talk about it!
extremely interesting video Dr Berg, as a 62 year old (former smoker) learning how to run again, after 40 years, after 16 months of walking 5 miles a day, i have lost 115 Pounds, but having trouble with acid Reflux, and Breathing, especially during cold days. and even warm days, i wind up only can run for 200 yards before hyperventaling, learning how to breath through the nose (to give extra Nitrogen), but this causes a shortage of air.. so learning how to breath through both..lol
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I've had a hard time with this exact thing, ever since I became disabled and gained weight. With constant nagging pain and often pulling muscles and stuff, just doing normal daily activities because I had become sedentary and weak! I also tend to breathe differently from being taught that diaphragm breathing was noisy & bothersome to others. Especially doing call center work lol, but I've been diaphragm breathing again. It's our natural way of breathing and I don't care if it bothers others anymore! I still catch myself breathing from upper chest and switch. I've been learning about "mewing" lately and it helps with breathing through the nose and some other things, too! It's a popular subject for awhile now, too! I didn't realize that the way I was breathing while I'm up doing things was causing this cycle. It totally explains it perfectly! I've been taking an antihistamine & allergy medicine every day for many years, and couldn't figure out why I felt like my seasonal allergies seemed to rapidly get worse & were now year round.. and worse in the house! I'm seriously considering buying a soda stream so I can have cheaper carbonated water at home! This is fantastic information, thank you! 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
One fascinating aspect of this is that holotropic breathwork can eliminate panic attacks which is sorta what the body is trying to do in a primitive way.
Extremely educating and informative video on proper breathing! Unfortunately; I suffer from Asthma and Sleep Apnea; so this information is very beneficial to me! Thank you so much; Dr. Berg!
In the morning after the toilet breathe out the air from the nose vigorously and rotate your arms in circular method from back to front and bottom to top method it will help you clear your nasal passage ease breathing very helpful method especially for cities which have high level of pollution also for the smokers
An aunt life long severe asthma aufferer had excellent results using Buteyko technique and managed to get off both inhalers. This channel is superb even though one of my kitchen cabinets has been taken over by the periodic table of supps!!😂
This is one of the most informative videos I've seen from you lately thank you so much for this information. Going to start drinking carbonated water now
Probably not the same problem. How fast or slow I breathe the saturation normallally doesnt change. To make it more complex: we dont feel the lack of oxigen but the excess carbon dioxide in the blood.
This was highly informative as an asthmatic. I started trying the breathing techniques, and it actually does seem to help, even with severe asthma. I appreciate the depth of explanation. Thanks for the advice. 👍
I use a bandana tied at the top of my head to keep my mouth closed at night. I have a full beard so mouth tape is problematic and much more expensive. I have been doing this for a couple of years. My gum health is substantially better. No more bleeding gums when I have my teeth cleaned. Also there is nitric oxide being produced when you breathe through your nose.
I was at the clinic requesting for some vitamins Guess what the doctor was reluctant to give But all ready to prescribe other medication instead My goodness
Eric I challenge you to look up the controlled studies on the Wim Hoff method and the study done in 2012 on the immune system for Wim Hoff breathing otherwise known as tummo breathing. Saying that this style of breathing is bad for the body is the same thing as saying, weight training is bad for you because it puts a temporary stress on your body. Or saying eating plants is bad for you because of their defense mechanisms. Homeostasis what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. There is most certainly a benefit to tummo breathing. Feel free to look up the controlled studies on Wim Hof. He was able to enhance his white blood cell count and not have any immune response from an injection of E. coli bacteria. However I agree with the information about breathing through your nose and filtration system. I understand you want to make more videos for your channel but look at all the studies before you push out misinformation. Kind regards , Taylor
Good to know because I've been practicing breathing like this for a while now over the last several years and didn't know if it was the correct way or not but it's become comfortable to me now
Thank you for the helpful info. If so, why would sport coaches/vinyasa yoga teachers suggest tightening the core during workout and breathe with diaphragm?
I have a history of pulmonary embolism, I keep one of those little pulse/ox meters on my desk and check my O2 regularly. When I'm relaxed and sitting at my desk, breathing through my nose as you described and I run 98-100% regularly. It drops a point or two if I'm breathing though my mouth.
this is exactly right! My track and field coach taught me to breath like that and it got me 2 gold medals running. Also if you remember watching chuck lidel MMA fighter he also always breathed from the belly also!
Incredible breakdown on the misconceptions of deep breathing and its effects! 🌬 Understanding the balance between oxygen and CO2 is crucial for optimal health, especially in managing stress and promoting relaxation.
Mister, I nominate you as the surgeon General to a diplomacy made by all these factions of total awesome. Thank you Berg, for living the standard. We here, in the states, do hope that other well-meaning men such as this channel will release this information to those through the States. This is my look at things and there are many of us. Losing life is never good. Loosing the good to us makes us look into ourselves and moderately take in with absorbstion. Well played.
thank you. I have hypoxia, and structural issues. Things are improving as I work. I am using a gizmo called a relaxator, which is helping heaps. My challenge is being stuck at the gap between the end of the in breath and the beginning of the outbreath. The default is a sort of floating at the end of the in breath before the next in breath. This is related to near death, shock trauma at 6 months of age, I am still here lol, and getting better. Your videos always have something valuable to help. Thank you so much
Sir can you make a video on what we should check on the label before buying copper and zinc supplements (also which form) , or any trace minerals and electrolytes at normal pharmacy store?
Good question, there are so many supplements out there on the market that contain harmful ingredients and a lot of people are taking these which are causing even more health Issue's. Then there's the actual Capsule Form too, I've heard that Gelatin Caps can cause bacteria to build up in the guts, HPMC Caps absorb fluids from the guts, so what does this mean, purchase powders only? If we can't get powders what do we do open some of the capsules up ? (Not HCL though)
So then how do you view barametric chambers. Which I've been told it helps your body to heal from various things like cancer, ms, and other diseases. Your thoughts?
Hi Dr.Berg. I just purchased your Gallbladder formula extra strength. Should I also get the TUDCA to go along with it? I don’t want to take double or more than necessary. I just watched your video on digestive issues from the stomach to gallbladder, pancreas and so on. I am suffering a great deal. I believe that betaine HCL, ox bile, pancreatic, etc is the answer for me. Having all the symptoms for some time and is getting more frequent. I hope you get my comment and answer please. Thank you for your tireless help to humanity.
My technique to keep windows well ventilated with mesh and keep washroom exhaust on for cross ventilation. the best time to get maximum oxygen while body getting repaired itself .last 3 months my electricity Bill reduced to 1/3rd
Been following a long time. Retired in Thailand. Clean and sober 34 years. Exchanged the drugs for Health and fitness. Swimming running mountain biking muay thai I have no problem sleeping or breathing * Except when I'm into The First minute of the round kickboxing. After 1 minute, I'm starting To notice heavier breathing. Last seconds, totally out of breath.. What breathing techniques can I use to gain endurance? Thanks for the presentation..
Slowing your breathing also lowers your heart rate. It can increase cardio efficiency at moderate or moderately high levels of effort. The heart and lungs have a autonomic sympathetic relationship. You feel oxygen deprived, so you breath faster, which increases your heart rate, which lowers you cardio efficiency, a viscous circle. Kind of makes you wonder if nose breathing is by design, the maximum sustainable uptake.
I do Wim Hof Method (App is amazing) every single day for almost a year because I have a lung disease: I do two sessions per day: 8 rounds in the morning and 3 rounds in the evening. Lie-down and in a safe environment. I take time to build up. Its cleared up my bloody mucus stoked in my airways. For me, it's a no brainer
Thanks, I have thyroid issue low heart beat low oxygen, I just increase my oxygen blood from 94-95 to 98-99 with your breath technique by use stomach instead of lung. it's miracle for me.
IT is correct that you should always breath through your nose. There are several more tricks to improve nose air. One is suction your tongue to the back of the mouth (mewing) IDK why it works but it does. Also breathe into your whole body, especially front upper chest and lower back, which is minimized by bad posture.
Dr. Berg can u please help us vegetarians? We also watch your channel with so much of hope. I am suffering from an autoimmune condition. Looking for help 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So what about Gary Brecka's videos saying we need to breath deeply and fast to increase O2 and dizzyness or having a numb palms while we are doing this is fine?
Great Video Dr Berg, I've recently started watching your videos and have found them very informative. I would be interested on your thoughts on the Win Hoff method of breathing exercises.
The philosopher Immanuel Kant excercised breathing through nose while walking after the dinner. His explanation was that the air must be conditioned before it gets to the lungs. Otherwhise the air is a raw air. He recommended this to people he knew. Just read it from a magazine.
