🤔 How it works …….. ⁉
What happens when you inhale carbon dioxide?
When CO2 is breathed into the lungs, it dissolves in the water there, diffuses across the alveolar-capillary membrane, and enters the bloodstream. As it combines with water, it forms carbonic acid, making the blood acidic. So CO2 in the bloodstream lowers the blood pH.
Normally, humans breathe in air that is approximately 20.95% oxygen, 78.09% nitrogen, 0.93% argon, and
0.04% (400 ppm) of carbon dioxide. Like CO2, oxygen also dissolves in the lungs and is transported to the
blood via diffusion across the lung tissue (alveoli). Once in the blood, oxygen is carried throughout the body
by the arteries, and is used in cell metabolism throughout the body.
Carbon dioxide is given off as a by-product of cell metabolism and is carried by the blood through the venous
system (veins) to the lungs. Here it is exhaled. The concentration of CO2 in each breath is ~3.8%, and the
“average” person produces approximately two pounds of carbon dioxide each day. More CO2 is given off by
strenuous activity.
When CO2 levels become excessive, a condition known as acidosis occurs. This is defined as the pH of the
blood becoming less than 7.35. The body maintains the balance mainly by using bicarbonate ions in the
blood. As the body responds to neutralize this condition, an electrolyte imbalance – an increase of plasma
chloride, potassium, calcium and sodium, can occur. In the blood stream, CO2 concentration is also controlled by reversible reactions with two major blood components, plasma proteins and hemoglobin.
😳Why❓❓❓
What is the reason for The Ancient Practice Of Sprinkling Water Around Food Meant!
This ancient practise is believed to have started by sages in olden times, who spent most of their lives living in forest areas or in raw houses, where the floors weren’t concrete on which they sat and ate food. Moreover, the food was mostly served on banana plantains. The food was prone to be exposed to the muddy floor making it unhealthy; which is why water was sprinkled around the plates to settle the mud or dust particles down. Dirt contains bacteria that may contribute to allergic reactions and other health problems.
Another reason may be that sprinkling water was also a great way to keep insects and pests at bay, especially at night when there is barely any light. It is said that ants or any insect cannot cross or tread upon water.
