In this video Dr. Artour Rakhimov explains the link between automatic or basal breathing patterns and oxygen levels in cells of the body. There are 4 breathing patterns that are considered: normal, in the sick, in the severely sick, and ideal breathing. The ideas relate to people with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and even those with HIV-AIDS virus. All these people have increased breathing rates. For more info about breathing rates, see http://www.e-breathing.com/respiration/normal-respiratory-rate/ .
Sick people breathe more than the medical norm, and that causes their reduced body oxygen levels since hyperventilation causes numerous problems with oxygen transport including constriction of blood vessels and the suppressed Bohr effect: http://www.normalbreathing.com/CO2-bohr-effect.php .
Note that the video focuses on automatic breathing patterns at rest or the way people breathe days and night. While breathing is controlled by the breathing center, few people are aware that CO2 is the main regulator of breathing in healthy people. It is clear that overbreathing or hyperventilation causes reduced CO2 values in the lungs and blood and this the reason why breathing patterns influence O2 transport.
For example, people with HIV-AIDS virus, during advanced stages of their disease, have up to 30-45 breaths per minute while the norm is only 10-12 breaths/min at rest. Heavy and fast breathing in people with HIV -AIDS further suppresses the immune system and worsens respiratory infections and digestive problems, while causing many other negative effects. Therefore, overbreathing promotes problems triggered by HIV-AIDS virus. You can find more information about effects of HIV-AIDS virus on NormalBreathing.com .
This video is for people who are interested in respiration, breathing exercises, breathing patterns in healthy and sick people, and body oxygenation mechanism.
If you want to improve health using physical exercise, consider this review of the Elevation Training Mask 2.0 http://www.e-breathing.com/training-mask-run/ . This Training Mask was tested and approved by some top athletes including Sean Sherk (UFC World Lightweight Champion) and Ironman World Champion (2013) Pete Jacobs.
Other videos by Dr. Artour Rakhimov are concerned with other effects such as vasodilation, the Bohr effect, and many others. More details can be found on the main website NormalBreathing.com .
