the best way is to increase oxygen levels in your blood and your tissues your lungs put oxygen into your blood when you breathe and your blood cells carry this oxygen to trillions of cells in your body however if not enough oxygen is getting delivered to your organs you may begin experiencing health problems such as feeling laded or dizzy you may get throbbing headaches especially in the morning the muscles in your legs may feel very heavy and tired when you're walking upstairs and your'll sigh often through the day with small puffs of air feeling a little
bit breathless without enough oxygen your heart has to work harder and this can cause high blood pressure and damage to your other organs over time for this reason today we'll be exploring the best exercises supplements diet and lifestyle tips to raise oxygen levels naturally these strategies will help to improve your energy organ function and overall health this video is for educational purposes only so do speak with your doctor if you have any health problems at all one Beto breathing many people unknowingly breathe too heavily or too quickly and this is called overbreathing We tend to
take shorter gasps of air when we're stressed out or we're anxious and this can become a habit over breathing lowers the amount of CO2 in your blood which prevents oxygen from being absorbed by your cells properly this is why they tell you to breathe into a paper bag when you hyperventilate because it raises your CO2 levels which opens up the Airways and allows oxygen to be absorbed so to fix your breathing patterns start to take slow relaxed shallower breaths through your nose and you should be focusing on breathing less not more you want to find
the sweet spot where you feel slightly hungry for air but not too much this gentle breathing pattern balances out oxygen and carbon dioxide levels allowing all of your cells to receive more oxygen you should do this for 5 minutes 2 to three times per day to fix bad breathing habits and also relax your nerves two carbonated water one of the easiest things that you can do to raise your oxygen levels is to Simply drink more carbonated water now regular water contains oxygen atoms which can be used by your cells but carbonated water goes a step
further as it also contains dissolved carbon dioxide that's what gives it the Fizzy Bubbly texture that we love this carbon dioxide helps oxygen to go deeper into your tissues it also makes the water slightly acidic and this helps your stomach absorb more minerals like potassium and magnesium which are very important for proper blood circulation and normal blood pressure I suggest drinking at least a liter of carbonated water every single day three improving your nighttime breathing one of the main causes of low oxygen levels is snoring or sleep apnea where breathing stops and starts during the
night this abnormal breathing prevents you from absorbing enough oxygen while you sleep leaving you feeling very groggy and tired in the morning you might even wake up with a headache which is caused by the poor oxygen in the brain mouth breathing makes this worse because it dries out your Airways and also reduces oxygen intake to fix these problems I suggest using a wedge shaped pillow to keep your head slightly elevated during the night this helps to keep the Airways open and allows oxygen to flow into your lungs also keep the window slightly open to let
fresh air into the room while you sleep house plants like snake plant aloe vera and erea palm release oxygen at night and can also improve air quality in your home if you're a mouth breather you might want to try taping your mouth shut or using nasal strips to encourage nose breathing you'd be so surprised how you can wake up feeling much more refreshed and energized by doing this four Ginko Boba gko is one of the oldest tree species on Earth with some trees in China that are over 2 and a half thousand years old there
are supplements made from its leaves which can increase oxygen levels by improving blood flow it works very simply by widening your blood vessels which helps to deliver more oxygen to your brain eyes and your extremities now eating lots of sugar or refined Foods in the past may have damaged some of the small blood vessels called capillaries Ginko supplements however help to repair these capillaries and improve circulation in these areas after just a few weeks you'll notice clearer thinking sharper memory and less brain fog the best dose is 240 mg of Ginko Boba per day split
into two doses to boost your oxygen levels and to support your brain five eat red meat another common cause of low oxygen levels in the body is anemia this is where your red blood cells don't have enough hemoglobin to carry oxygen to your tissues anemia makes you feel tired weak and short of breath and often pale skin to overcome anemia you need to eat animal-based proteins that are rich in heem iron and vitamin B12 these are the two most important nutrients needed to make healthy red blood cells include grass-fed beef lamb or liver in your
diet three times per week to boost iron and b12 levels naturally unfortunately plant-based Foods don't contain B12 and only contain Elemental forms of iron which is very poorly absorbed this is why it's so important to not go completely on a plant-based diet I'll talk more about the best foods to eat to boost oxygen saturation later in the video which moves me on now to number six improving your posture poor posture can compress your lungs preventing them from opening and expanding fully this makes it harder to take in oxygen forward head posture can also compress blood
vessels which limits blood flow to the brain to fix this practice sitting or standing with your shoulders back and your chest open this will improve your breathing allowing more oxygen to reach your lungs and tissues avoid slouching especially if you sit for long periods during the day you may also try the ytw poses to stretch and loosen tight neck and shoulder muscles which is something that I do every day correcting your posture not only boosts blood flow and oxygen levels but it also makes you feel more confident and relaxes the nervous system number seven is
lower cortisol High cortisol levels caused by chronic stress can reduce oxygen delivery to your tissues the cortisol stress hormone Narrows your blood vessels which slows blood flow and oxygenation it also disrupt your breathing patterns causing you to over breathe and this causes a drop in carbon dioxide levels when your carbon dioxide drops too much it can cause your blood to become too alkaline where your cells struggle to absorb oxygen efficiently because of something called the bower effect to lower cortisol you must find ways to manage your stress getting 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep
each night helps to regulate cortisol and improve oxygen delivery I also suggest avoiding stimulants like caffeine after midday as they can also trigger cortisol and keep you up at night drinking herbal teas like chamomile or lemon balm can also naturally calm your nervous system down by lowering your cortisol you'll relax your blood vessels improve oxygen flow and feel more energized and number eight is strengthen your lungs cigarette smoke vaping home cleaning chemicals and sprays can all cause infl inflammation in your lungs this makes it harder to breathe and take in oxygen from the air to
help detox your lungs the cheapest thing that you can do is to start taking a 30 minute walk outside in nature each day you see plants and trees release essential oils into the air which can open up your Airways and improve breathing also infrared Rays from the sunlight can penetrate the clouds your clothes and your bone and this will boost your melatonin levels a powerful antioxidant which helps to heal and protect the delicate tissues in your lungs if you have shortness of breath asthma COPD or some other breathing difficulty you can also lower the inflammation
