What Happens to Your Body When You Hold Your Breath

Описание: Holding your breath triggers a cascade of survival mechanisms.
This video explains the mammalian dive reflex, oxygen prioritization, CO₂ buildup, and why the urge to breathe has nothing to do with lack of oxygen.
We also cover how free divers safely push the limits using real physiology.
A clear, science-based breakdown of a universal human experience.
