In this video, we’re going to talk about the benefit of breathing better and getting more oxygen when you’re doing the ketogenic diet.
A respiratory quotient (RQ) - Ratio of CO2 production to oxygen consumption
Fat has the lowest RQ, which means you will get the lowest amount of CO2 and the highest amount of oxygen. Carbohydrates have the highest RQ. This is why many people report better breathing on keto.
Fat — .7
Ketone — .66 - .73
Protein — .8
Carb — 1.0
Ketoacidosis - It’s not only a drop in your pH and blood pH by a slight degree, but it’s super high blood glucose. You would have to be a diabetic type 1 who is on keto and is not paying attention to insulin to be put in this dangerous state.
A simple remedy would be to take vitamin B1. Calcium will help as well.
The main point here is that one of the incredible added benefits of keto is that it generates less CO2 and produces more oxygen for:
• Healthy lungs
• Physical fitness
• Metabolism
• Better sleep
