Hyperventilation (definition) is breathing more than the medical norm. http://www.normalbreathing.com/i-hyperventilation.php Hyperventilation can be defined as breathing more than 10 liters of air per minute at rest for a 70-lg person. Hyperventilation is very common these days. The large majority of people believe that it is worthwhile as well as healthy to breathe in more deeply [...]

Fat Deficient Animals – Activity of Cytochrome Oxidase

A crucial enzyme in the mitochondrion is cytochrome oxidase, which reacts directly with oxygen, completing (or beginning) the process of chemical respiration. It is this enzyme (which is most sensitive to cyanide) which appears to be a “choke point” for energy production in various situations. Learning how to preserve and promote the activity of this [...]

By Dr Janet Winter, Posted on July 28, 2011 The consequences of chronic hyperventilation or over breathing can be many; tired muscles, headaches, anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, allergies, cold hands, breathlessness, stuffed nose, IBS…. The list goes on. One definition of hyperventilation is breathing more than your body requires, so if you are sitting, but [...]
