In order to maintain proper metabolism, the body has to maintain a balance in temperature, proper fluid volume, proper fluid concentration of solutes, proteins (most important is albumin), and proper Ph balance (between 7.35 and 7.45) among other things. The Ph balance is maintained by two mechanisms, namely respiratory and metabolic. Proper breathing refers to not breathing with shallow breaths (for example when one is in pain), because that would lead to retaining too much CO2, which would lead to a respiratory acidosis, nor breathing too deeply, because that will bring too much O2 on board and will lead to respiratory alkalosis. Also, the oxygen saturation of the blood, ideally, needs to be above 95%, so correct breathing is important.
