Breathing is the source of life: if breathing stops Men's Atmos x Nike Air Max 95 Animal Pack 2.0 Black Leopard Cheap , do does life. On average, an adult breathe 16-18 times per minutes, each time about 500ml of air exchanged in the lungs. When breathing in from the outside air, oxygen content is about 21% while carbon dioxide is 0.03%. On the other hand, breathing out produces about 16.5% oxygen and 4.5% carbon dioxide.

Based on the average of 16-18 breath per minutes Men's Atmos x Nike Air Max 1 Animal Pack 2.0 Black Leopard Cheap , it can be estimated that the volume of air exchanged in the lungs is about 8000-9000ml. From this, the content of both oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged can also be calculated.

In calculating the air exchanged, there's a factor that needs to be considered: there's about 150ml of air left in the Ineffective Retention.

What is Ineffective Retention?

Ineffective Retention refers to the space between the lungs and the nose, that is, the space in the nasal Cheap Men's Supreme x Nike Air Max 98 Black , throat, trachea, and bronchus which contains residual air of about 150ml. The residual air in Ineffective Retention has more carbon dioxide and lesser oxygen compared to the air outside.

Each inhale of 500ml of air from the outside will include this 150ml residual air in the Ineffective Retention. This means the effective oxygen content in each inhale is in fact lesser than 21%! This means, for every minute, you will be taking in about 2400-2700ml of residual air in the Ineffective Retention space!

Active air volume in the lungs is very important. Thus Men's Nike Air VaporMax Moc Midnight Fog Cheap , through deep breathing, achieved through abdominal breathing ? the air exchange in the lungs can be increased to 2000-6000ml, and at times, exceeding 6000ml!

And with deep breathing, which takes longer time per breath. On average Men's Nike Air VaporMax Plus Sunset Black Orange Cheap , if you do deep and slow breathing, you can reduce the rate of breathing to 9 times per minutes, taking more than 2000ml of air per inhale. This will in effect, reduce the number of times where the 150 ml of air in the Ineffective Retention going back into the lung. This means that only 1350ml of residual air going back into the lung exchange, but fresh air exchanged is more than 18000ml per minute!
