Ninety-eight percent.
That is how full of oxygen your blood already is, sitting still and reading this. The tank is close to the top.
So when some guy online tells you to take ten big deep breaths and flood your brain with fresh oxygen, ask him where it is going to go.
Let's do the math on it.
Resting, your blood runs at ninety-seven to ninety-nine percent of all the oxygen it can carry. The ceiling is a hundred.
There is no room to flood. The oxygen was never the thing you were short on.
What you are short on is delivery. Getting that oxygen out of the blood and into the brain tissue that burns it, and that step runs on the exact gas the deep-breather is trying to blow away.
AI investors should get ready for a BIG surprise
Do you hold any of these AI stocks?
Dear Reader,
Do you hold any of these AI stocks?
Wall Street insider Jason Bodner — the man who called Nvidia at $4.50 — says today’s AI stocks are about to hit a wall.
And a completely different group of AI firms… names Wall Street is starting to ignore… are about to take off.
This has nothing to do with SpaceX…
A new chatbot…
Autonomous robots…
Or anything you’re likely hearing about.
It has to do with a brand-new “light-speed” device turning AI as we know it into “Accelerated AI”…
Making it 100 times faster…
And 100 times more energy efficient — right here, on Earth.
Already, some of the biggest tech investors like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Cathie Wood, and Bill Gates are moving money into it.
Just to name a few…
But you won’t hear anything about it in the mainstream news…
In fact, TV pundits spent most of this past year talking about AI worries and its “existential risk” to jobs…
Or arguing whether we’re in an AI bubble and when it would pop…
That’s why most Americans won’t see it coming until it’s too late.
Don’t be one of them…
Because if you’re holding the wrong AI stocks when “Accelerated AI” goes mainstream…
You could spend the next decade just trying to claw back to even…
The next 12 to 24 months could hand you bigger gains than the entire AI boom of the last three years.
Click here to hear the full story and get ahead of the crowd.
But hurry, because this opportunity won’t stay hidden much longer.
We have so much to look forward to
Term of the Day
The Bohr Effect
Carbon dioxide is the signal that tells your blood to release its oxygen into the tissue.
More CO2 sitting in a working muscle or a thinking brain, more oxygen let go right where it is needed. Strip the CO2 out and the blood holds on tighter.
Now the part that turns it around. Fast, shallow, mouth-open breathing all day blows off more CO2 than you should lose.
Your blood clamps down on its oxygen and delivers less of it. The finger clip still reads a proud ninety-eight.
CO2 runs one more job you never feel. It sets how wide the arteries feeding your brain are open.
Drop it by over-breathing and those arteries tighten. Work on voluntary hyperventilation shows blood flow to the brain can fall by roughly a third.
Which means the man gulping air to clear his head is doing two bad things at once. Choking down the supply line and telling the blood to keep its cargo.
Picture your own Tuesday. Shoulders creeping toward your ears, jaw tight, quick shallow breaths high in the chest, mouth parted at the screen.
Call it light chronic over-breathing, and plenty of men sit in it from nine to six without a clue. Their oxygen reads perfect and their brain still runs lean, because the delivery valve is half shut.
That is your two o'clock. Not only the lunch, not only the screen, but the way you have been breathing since morning.
The fix is not more air. It is slower air, through your nose.
Your nose fights the airflow a little, on purpose. That drag paces the breath and lets CO2 climb back to where it belongs, so the oxygen finally unloads.
Nose breathing also pulls a dose of nitric oxide out of your sinuses on the way in, which opens those vessels wider still.
Part of this is just a habit you rebuild over a few weeks. The harder part is holding it while you sleep, train, or sit under real pressure, and that is where a nasal dilator or a simple breath trainer earns its keep.
If you genuinely cannot move air through your nose, or someone tells you that you gasp and go silent at night, that is a call to a doctor, not a breathing drill.
One Thing
On your next walk, shut your mouth and breathe only through your nose the whole way. It will feel like a hair too little air, and that feeling is low CO2 tolerance, which is the exact thing the walk is building back up.
The desk where you earn runs on the brain behind your eyes. That brain works on the oxygen it can actually reach, not the oxygen sitting full and useless in the tank.
More air was never the edge. The edge was letting the oxygen you already carry finally land.
You have been leaving it in the blood this whole time, watching the gauge read full while the lights went dim.
