Hypoxia is good for you

[DavidFL]

Hasn't helped me.

Clearly you haven't gotten high enough.

So.. like breathing in a paperbag

You will become hypercarbic well before you become hypoxic

Hasn't helped me.

Classic response, in looking at your location!

Hmm so there must be some breathing technique to simulate it at home?

a dry cleaners bag and duct tape......and a safe word.

Is this study suggesting that if the blood does not carry enough oxygen to support the brain, blood flow to the brain is increased? What a surprise!

You can go to high altitude

That’s what I was thinking. Is the conclusion of study just another way of saying that breathing oxygen rare air routinely, increases the RBC and haemoglobin count in the blood and thus the capacity to oxygenate tissues better? We have know that already, and that why Olympians have been training at high-altitude for decades now.
