Increasing oxygen in your cells is really important. Many diseases occur because of a lack of oxygen in the cells.

Today, we’re going to talk about the best ways to get more oxygen into your cells.

Here are a few of the best ways to increase oxygen in the cells:
• Sleep with the window open
• Put plants in your room
• Spend time outdoors
• Do aerobic exercise
• Take methylene blue

However, there is an interesting trigger that increases available oxygen in the cells: CO2. Carbon dioxide is not just a waste product—it tells the body to release oxygen.

You can use an oximeter to check your oxygen saturation, which should typically be between 95 and 99.

A few ways to increase CO2 in the body are to breathe through your nose and to slow your breath, balancing your inhalation and exhalation.

Increasing your CO2 can potentially help with certain concerns, including:
• Stress
• Anxiety disorders
• Panic attacks
• Inflammation
• Depression
• Low endurance
• Respiratory problems

How to test your carbon dioxide tolerance:
1. Lay down on your back—inhale through your nose for three seconds and exhale through your nose for three seconds. Do this three times.

2. On the fourth time, expand your lungs, and breathe in as much as you can.

3. Slowly let the air out and start timing how long it takes until you run out of air.

4. Record the time it took from when you started letting the air out to when you ran out of air.

How to increase CO2 tolerance:
1. Breathe through your nose
2. Practice diaphragm breathing
3. Practice box breathing
4. Practice holding your breath (supervised)

  1. Thank you for all your teachings on health Dr Berg!!! You have saved my health and peace!!! You Rock!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

  2. I’ve saved this, I tried it and I’m under the 20 seconds 🙁 so I will watch again I do suffer from panic attacks not as much as I used to and I’m looking forward to not having any. Thank you Dr Eric

    • Let me save you some trouble with those panic attacks 😊 I’ve had them for 30 years and was finally introduced to the 4,7,8 breathing technique. You want to breathe through your nose for a count of 4, hold it for a count of 7, then breathe out through the nose for a count of 8. Do this 4 times and then relax. It will trigger your body’s parasympathetic nervous system and calm you down. I started doing this while lying down, but I can do it now sitting up just as well. I PROMISE you it will work! Give your body about 10 minutes to stay in that lying down position and just breathing normally and you’ll start to feel the body relax. ♡

    • @Satyam under the main heading………there is a “more”. Click or touch will open a new window where you can find all his activities including Instagram.

    • @CuriousC you are right about to activate parasympathetic system. I do exhale slowly through mouth rounded and empty lungs……hold…..instead of through nose, and then repeat. In yoga, there are many ways of breathing n exhaling via nose.

  3. Wow I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Thank you Dr. For all of the amazing and insightful videos everyday. You’re a blessing to the YouTube health community!

  4. I have practised the Wim Hof method for 4 years. I suffered from asthma for 35 years. Salbutamol and Seretide 250mg. I am now asthma free and breathe better than when I was in my 20’s. Great advice as always Dr Berg 🙏

    • I had a similar situation except I joined a martial arts studio and learned to breathe that way, it worked as well. Its amazing how all those ancient folks knew stuff that “modern” science is just learning.

    • ​@Pierre Vandenberghe I practise the breathwork every day and take a cold shower. Feel amazing. Along with keto and IF of course 🙂

  5. 28.01 I’ve been dealing with long covid, just passed my 1 year mark. Very little exercise in that time but I’m finally able to start increasing the amount within the last few months.
    Thank you Dr berg, I enjoy the videos, it helps me keep my brain thinking about my health and motivation.

    • Jon, good job on working with your available physical resources, and working your way back to strength and health! Long COVID is no fun at all. Seems like this video should be helpful. Good luck!

    • @jon i was not alluding to that, I understand that it can be a “longer flu” but a year i would be skeptical if you are taking your health serious bc having a flu for a year should not be the case. Also, if you have a strong fear of covid, such as being a person who watches mainstream media then I’d advise you that their is healing power in a higher power. In this case Jesus Christ from where our joy and STRENGTH is found. Have a blessed day and i hope you fully recover.

  6. I’m at 40 seconds I’m 49 and at a healthy weight and walk outdoors an hour every day I plan to improve this with your tips. Thank you!!

  7. Got between 24 and 27 seconds. Breathing out slowly and evenly is challenging 😂. After pushing my belly up on the breath in I found that slowing lowering it helped not breathe out too quickly. I will work on improving this

  8. I do box breathing while meditating. 7-7-9-7, 2 breaths a minute, while keeping my HR to 60 bpm. The 9 seconds between the out-breath and the next in-breath is where the magic takes place for inner transformation. I’m 61 and it’s taken decades to reach a high level of control. Start easy and allow the control to increase organically and slowly.

    • Wouldn’t that be 7-7-7-9? Just trying to clarify. When is the 9, after you’ve exhaled? I also thought of box-breathing when I heard him in his video. Very calming! And I suggest anyone try it. I just do the standard 5-5-5-5.

    • @Halla 7 seconds breathing in, belly breathing, pause for 7 seconds, 7 seconds breathing out, pause for 9 seconds. That’s a 30-second cycle. I started in the 70s with 5-5-5-5 as directed by my trombone teacher as one of the techniques to improve breath control.

    • @Donald Cain The 9 is the pause before you breathe in again. 5s are perfect. I started at age 11 as directed by my trombone teacher, and there is no need to push unless you have a specific reason.

  9. Dr. Berg spoke the Methylene Blue in a previous video. I started one day after the last video. And for people with multiple sclerosis, along with my lemon regimen, I will say it is working. There have been numerous studies on how it helps multiple sclerosis patients. I had early onset MS and as I get older I notice it only gets worse. However, I do not (and my neuro does not) want to take any treatments yet, as I stopped them years ago because they weren’t helping the main problem…pain. But this has helped every symptom subside by a minimum of approx. 60%. I would say it is helping either; fatigue and pain… possibly vertigo (mine is only occasionally and light) and tingling.
    The Methylene blue has a quick bitter taste, so follow how he said to use it and ask your doctor. If you can (and don’t already have) obtain a D.O. versus and MD. The D.O. doctors tend to be homeopathic and do not promote medications as much as reasonably possible. Mine was happy I mentioned the methylene blue and told me to start at half the dose Dr. Berg mentioned and work my way up over about a week. Just to see if there are any side effects.
    Also, methylene blue dose have a lot of interactions with medications, so I would suggest doing a little research about it interaction with any of your current medications. Do not take it at the same time as any thing. Drink the full 8oz of water at a minimum so it can get into your system and work.

    • what dosage?? I take between a few milligrams and up to 20 mg a day, not every day… I’m very curious what you do

  10. I’ve been taping at night and whet a HUGE difference it is making. Had NO idea I’ve been breathing wrong most of my life! It has made me a much calmer person. You have no other choice but to be calmer when your breathing is slower and deeper! Happens automatically! Thanks once again, Dr Berg! ❤

  11. Thank you Dr Berg for spreading the message of the importance of the breath:) I’m at 70 seconds.
    Also Dr Andrew Huberman has a podcast episode about the breath including the same test.

    Also recommending Wim Hof breath and checking out Dylan Werners book ‘illuminated breath’
    God bless you

    Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿

  13. Fresh air and sunlight can help improve our well being across multiple areas, from making us feel happier and more relaxed. You are truly a remarkable doctor and professional that we respect and trust. Thank you so much for making this world a much better and more cheerful place ❤ .

  14. Over 20 years ago, I bought Tony Robbin’s program. He also endorsed what you labeled as box breathing but during jogging. Thank you for ABSOLUTELY NOT advising this. Not only did I nearly pass out but the anaerobic response i.e. cells spewing waste from the forced oxygen intake had me running for a bathroom. Once you build up your respiratory strength, adding it to exercise increases overall performance.

  15. 83 seconds at 57. Was a mouth breather until I learned that nose breathing increased O2 by 10-20%. Having narrow nostrils, discovering nasal dilators was a godsend. Workouts (been an avid rower for year and a half now…) all of a sudden weren’t so hard as I could get the oxygen I needed to perform. Pre-covid I was obese at 230lbs. Today I’m 160 and in fantastic shape. Appreciate all your advice and information. Very useful. Keep doing what you are doing. 😉

  16. Here’s something beneficial that I should still be doing especially at my age. Using breathing and relaxing the body to put yourself to sleep in less than a minute for an afternoon nap for me 30 minutes was perfect and the BEST rest! It takes practice but you can lower you pulse in the process to 30-40 bpm. I used to start with the number10 counting down slowly exhale and start the count slowly with each number you concentrate on relaxing every muscle next breath next number concentrating on being more relaxed with each count, you get better with practice with time you will find you lower your pulse without the sleep, when I was in my 20’s a little while ago I believe 1975 “laugh” I was working in the union in Tucson instead of lunch I would get my rest! After a fall that method kept me from bleeding out on the medi-flight. Would be nice to converse with you in person and face to face someday.
    Thanks again for your revealing knowledge! As a side note minutes 2+

  17. Dr. Berg a big big thank you on behalf of every person who’s health problems turned into health progress😊

  18. You mentioned the Oxygen Advantage book awhile back. I have used the nasal breathing technique ever since. Thanks to the app I find changing breathing techniques much easier. My exercise induced asthma is slowly improving. I am so grateful you mentioned the book. Thank you.

  19. Been practicing breath•work, meditation for a few years an gave this test a go, I ended at 01:10.95. I use to experience anxiety, depression, and inflammation until I started practicing mindfulness, meditation, and yogic breathing exercises a few years back. There are no words to express how life changing these practices were for me. Thank you for posting this video and sharing this knowledge.
