Oxygen is our greatest energy source. Oxygen increases stamina and endurance.
A vital ingredient to health, vitality, physical stamina and endurance is maintaining proper oxygen levels in the body. Oxygen is our primary source of energy. It is the fuel required for the proper operation of all body systems. Oxygen is our Life Force. We can only live a few precious moments without oxygen. 90% of our energy comes from oxygen…only 10% comes from food and water.
Oxygen gives the body the ability to rebuild itself, detoxifies the blood, and strengthens the immune system.
Oxygen displaces deadly harmful free radicals, neutralizes environmental toxins, and destroys anerobic (the ability to live with little oxygen) infectious bacteria, parasites, microbes and viruses. Oxygen greatly enhances the body’s absorption of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, and other important nutrients.
Oxygen affects the brain and memory. Oxygen affects learning ability.
One of oxygen’s most important functions is that it allows the brain to process billions of pieces of information every second. Even our ability to think, feel and act are all dependent on oxygen. It also calms the mind and stabilizes the nervous system. Oxygen heightens concentration and alertness. Without oxygen, brain cells die quickly…and unlike our liver cells, brain cells cannot regenerate, which results in memory loss. More severe loss of oxygen in the brain can result in speech impairment and loss of motor skills. As we age, and oxygen deficiency increases, it takes longer to learn, and retention span is decreased.
Oxygen strengthens the heart.
Increased oxygen delivery to the heart lowers the resting heart rate and strengthens the contraction of the cardiac muscle. The American Heart Association reports that nearly a million people die of heart conditions every year, and 70% of our population has some evidence of heart problems. Virtually all heart attacks come down to a failure to deliver oxygen to the hard-working heart muscle. Dr. Richard Lippman, renowned researcher states that a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) is the prime cause of 1.5 million heart attacks each year. Research studies show that mild hypoxia increases the heart and respiratory rates. However, prolonged or severe hypoxia results in lung or heart failure.
