Rising carbon dioxide levels are being detected within the human body, with new research warning a key blood marker for the gas could near its healthy limit within decades if current trends continue. The findings are especially relevant for children and adolescents, whose developing bodies will experience the longest cumulative exposure to rising atmospheric CO₂.
To understand why CO2 in our blood is actually necessary, for our biochemistry to work right, please read https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/breath-28
THIS is why the slow-deep breaths of yoga are actually optimal.
One’s breathing has more effect on one’s blood-CO2 than does the air’s CO2-levels, obviously.
The deterioration of our breathing-habits goes along with the deterioration of our fitness, our posture, our absence-of-chewing ( thanks to processed-foods ), etc.
That is an important book.

This. We’re all overworked so we all have less energy for things like keeping ourselves fit. And actually exercising really doesn’t sell itself either, it hurts and it’s hot and I’m still trying to catch my damn breath from my sets earlier. Stupid maintenance.
But it beats the hell out of literally slowly suffocating in my chair at my desk.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll give it a read. 🫡
