#3: How CO2 works
Learnt this today from the Huberman Labs podcast. This is about why we need both Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
So when we breathe, the oxygen gets into our lungs. From there, it gets stuck to Hemoglobin which is then responsible to take it to the various tissues or organs that need oxygen. Now Hemoglobin acts like a cage. It jails the oxygen inside this cage before transporting it.
To release the oxygen from this cage, our body needs carbon-dioxide. It is the CO2 which releases the oxygen at the time of need.
That is why it is important to have a balanced breathing!
