Natural Doping
Natural Doping🩸🌬
After a breathhold you increase carbon dioxide in the blood and you lower your blood oxygen saturation. Your spleen, which is your blood bank, contains 8% of your red blood cells and contracts in response to the drop in blood oxygen.
You can naturally increase your blood oxygen carrying capacity. Even if you hold your breath for 30 seconds it will cause the spleen to contract and release red blood cells which carry oxygen. The secondary effect is EPO - Erythropoietin.
When you do a long breath hold and you are lowering your blood oxygen saturation your kidneys and your liver to a lesser extent become hypoxic and synthesise the hormone EPO which causes a maturation of red blood cells within the bone marrow. Typically this takes about 3/4 days to take effect.
If you want to increase your oxygen carrying capacity engage breathing protocols to catapult your sports performance.
