Why You Should Drink Carbonated Water

now I've been very curious about why I feel so much better when I drink carbonated water versus regular water and I didn't know the answer until very recently so I'm going to share this with you as well as some other fascinating things related to CO2 carbon dioxide so whether you're drinking soda water Club water seltzer water Lacroix or any type of carbonated water this relates to CO2 because the way they carbonate It Is by adding this gas CO2 into the water which does make it slightly acidic because it turns into carbonic acid unless it's stored a little bit differently as these bicarbonates in water but regardless of that when I drink carbon and water I just feel more hydrated my digestion is better and I just I feel better I feel more relaxed when I drink carbonated water so if you happen to see some other videos related to carbon dioxide I mentioned this one effect called the bore effect b o h r that is a condition that relates to CO2 in other words or oxygen to be absorbed into your cells into the tissues takes CO2 which is very counterintuitive you would think logically if you got more air okay less CO2 you would have more oxygen but that's not true it takes that CO2 to slightly adjust the ph and drop it a little bit and make it slightly more acidic to allow the oxygen to be released this is why if you hyperventilate in a panic attack you're getting too much O2 and not enough CO2 and you can't breathe right and then you start breathing in a paper bag and you get more CO2 and now you can breathe in fact you can actually create a hypoxic state that is a state of lowered oxygen by depriving the tissues of CO2 which is very interesting because normally you would think hypoxia low oxygen means too much CO2 which can occur but you can also create that same situation with not enough CO2 so CO2 is really essential in the homeostasis of oxygen absorption now in Europe they actually have these sauna baths that are carbonated they call them carbonated spas or baths where they pump the CO2 into this water and apparently it's great for all sorts of circulatory problems like problems with your vascular system especially something called peripheral vascular disorders they even use it for diabetic wounds and to decrease the rate of getting an amputation where they cut off the feet I mean it can actually improve that by increasing microvascular circulation so basically CO2 increases blood flow it's even used as the therapy after someone gets a stroke and they have this hypoxic low oxygen State because the CO2 helps that oxygen go deep into the cells now I could not find any research on drinking carbonated water okay in that relating to an improved Health but I have found parallel research and all the things I'm talking about and I'll include that down below and one state I found there was a significant increase in the parasympathetic nervous system activation by increasing CO2 that's the system that counters the flutter fight mode it's the system that helps your healing and your digestion and your ability to sleep and the device they use to measure the parasympathetic is what I used in my practice which is technology called heart rate variability let's take a look at some other things that I found related to this if you take a normal cell inside and then you take a cancer cell and we look at the pH of each one a cancer cell actually is more alkaline now the outside of the cell more acidic because of all the byproducts from lactic acid things like that but the inside of the cell is more alkaline than a normal cell which is very interesting especially as it relates to CO2 and I couldn't find any information on this but think about this when you deprive a tissue of CO2 you actually can develop alkalosis that is a state of being too alkaline so without that CO2 turning into carbonic acid you can develop an overly alkaline State and then I wanted to figure out is there any relationship or any significant Improvement in shrinking tumors or stopping the spread of cancer by increasing CO2 and I found a bunch of research which is also very interesting which I'll include down below so apparently CO2 is a significant potent anti-tumor gas it has the ability to inhibit metastasis which is interesting as well as inducing apoptosis which causes the cancer cells to commit suicide it also inhibits this very interesting Gene that's involved in this switching mechanism between a normal cell and it turning into cancer that gene is called h i f Dash Alpha which is involved in hypoxia now this probably doesn't make sense unless you understand that CO2 allows oxygen to go into the tissues and as bad as hypoxia is it can be created by a lowered amount of CO2 as well as lowered oxygen levels but also there's this CO2 connection that is very interesting I had this thing in my mind where if we just flood the body with oxygen right we'll be able to kill the cancer and we can prevent cancer but apparently the CO2 is another key factor that we cannot ignore like even in a thunderstorm um you can probably breathe better and if you ever wanted to know why well apparently there's a lot more CO2 in the air after a thunderstorm than there is when there's not a thunderstorm going on also you'll actually get more oxygen into your tissues if you breathe through your nose not your mouth when you're sleeping as well as when you exercise there's another interesting natural bath like the Springs if you go to the hot springs and at first we might think there's a lot of minerals involved that are helping us but guess what there's a significant amount of CO2 in Hot Springs which could be the reason why you feel better and you're more relaxed now they're even using CO2 in various creams for hydration to your skin and better circulation and blood flow which is another interesting piece of this puzzle and the last point about the CO2 is that CO2 apparently is a potent anti-inflammatory so I just wanted to increase your awareness on the CO2 this carbon dioxide thing as well as carbonated water and this could be the reason which I think it is of why you may feel better if you consume more carbonated water and what I have is I have a little carbonated machine that makes my water carbonated so I take my spring water and I carbonate it and that's what I drink but since we're on the topic of water you haven't seen this video I think you should watch it there's definitely more information to be known about water and I put it up right here
