When you hold your breath the ongoing accumulation of carbon dioxide in your cells, in your blood and lungs will eventually irritate and trigger impulses from the respiratory center part of your brain. Rising levels of carbon dioxide signal the body to breathe and ensure our unconscious and autonomous respiration.
The Brazilians celebrate the Valentine's Day in a very big way. Unlike in the United States or any other countries, Brazil does not celebrate Valentine's Day on the 14th of February because it usually falls close to the Brazilian Carnival. They celebrate the Dia dos Namorados (Day of the Enamored) on June 12th.
In much of Latin America what we know as Valentines Day is known as âEl Dia del Amor y La Amistadâ. In Colombia itâs no different, except that when weâre all celebrating on February 14th, those crazy Colombianos will only be doing something special if they happen to have bagged themselves a foreign partner.
