so let’s talk about all the different things  that can cause shortness of breath okay that’s  

a condition where you just can’t breathe well  now there’s quite a few reasons for that that  

people already know like if you have liver  disease kidney disease chronic lung disease  

asthma things like that but what i want to focus  on are all the other reasons where this symptom  

would come from other than the obvious ones number  one a vitamin b1 deficiency so many people have a  

b1 deficiency it’s it’s literally an epidemic  and a major deficiency of vitamin b1 is called  

beriberi and there’s two types one is a wet  beriberi involving the vascular system and  

the blood in the heart and there’s a dry version  which involves the nervous system so you can have  

symptoms in the nervous system as well as in your  heart but there’s something called a subclinical  

beriberi which is i think very very common simply  because the amount of refined carbohydrates and  

sugars that people eat and i i recently did  a video on b1 on all the other reasons why  

you might be deficient taking an antibiotic  drinking too much coffee or tea or alcohol or  

sulfates and i’ll put that link down below but  if you’re deficient in b1 you can have edema  

and definitely problems breathing because the  heart is not able to pump out blood effectively  

there’s another condition that occurs when you’re  b1 deficient and that’s called lactic acidosis  

that’s a situation where your body starts  to accumulate lactate and then your ph  

drops and you become too acidic  you’re holding on too much of co2  

and that’s going to majorly affect your  ability to get oxygen and you’re going to have  

hard times breathing now there’s several  reasons why someone might have lactic acidosis  

number one it’s a side effect when you take  metformin lactic acidosis is a symptom of diabetes  

if you’re very deficient in biotin you can also  have lactic acidosis if you have liver problems  

or kidney problems you can develop that condition  if you overdo it on exercise you can also develop  

lactic acidosis if you also drink a lot of alcohol  you can develop lactic acidosis vitamin b1 is the  

remedy for lactic acidosis as well as shortness of  breath if you have that condition now your ph can  

really affect how you breathe if you’re too far  on the acid side and you have acidosis you could  

have labored deep breathing or something called  air hunger where you just can’t get enough oxygen  

and then if you’re too alkaline as an alkalosis  you can also have breathing problems as well as  

well as muscle issues like cramping tetany where  you’ve got these little twitching things in your  

muscles muscle cramps in your lower legs because  the minerals like calcium can’t be mobilized in  

the body and high levels of cortisol and stress  can cause you to become too alkaline being on a  

high carb diet can cause severe alkalosis  and a potassium deficiency can also cause  

alkalosis as well as consuming too much calcium  if you have too much calcium in your blood  

your ph is going to become more alkaline  because calcium is more alkaline so just  

by the symptom of shortness of breath you can’t  really tell if you’re too alkaline or too acid  

you’re going to have to know the other  symptoms that are associated with  

either ph problem i did put a video down below  if you want more information on that topic now  

if you’re low in calcium in the blood you can also  have difficulty in breathing as well and of course  

if you have asthma you have difficulty breathing  too and by the way vitamin d is really important  

in helping you breathe if you have asthma  pneumonia you’re going to have problems breathing  

zinc is the remedy for that and then copd i did  a more extensive video on copd that involves  

a chronic lung inflammatory condition  vitamin c is vital as well as vitamin e  

in reducing inflammation and inhibiting the  formation of fibrosis in your lung all right guys  

there’s my summary on all the potential causes of  shortness of breath before you go if you have a  

question about a product or you’re new to keto and  you want to know how to begin keto or you’re on  

keto and you need a debug because it’s not going  as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by  

to help you this is just for the people in the  u.s hopefully in the future we’ll be able to  

answer everyone’s call but i put the number  down below so you can call and get some help
