Oxygen
Fat Burning with Oxygen
Oxygen has long been known to help thin the blood, increase circulation and speed up your metabolism, thus burning more calories just by breathing! The human body is sometimes called an "oxygen factory".
Oxygen is important because it is the fuel that cells in our body use to function. In essence, it is the "food" for our cells. If there is enough oxygen around our cells, then our organs and tissues have plenty of "food" and most likely will function properly.
If our cells are not properly nourished, the message to our brain is “feed us.” If 90% of our energy is derived from oxygen, and the other 10% is derived from food and water, wouldn’t it stand to reason that the more oxygen we take in, the less hungry we would feel? ...Read more....
Cancer, disease and Oxygen
When the oxygen saturation of blood falls, conditions then become ripe for the creation of cancer. Oxygen is and exchanged and removed from the arterial blood as it passes through the capillary system.
If arterial blood is deficient in oxygen or if the blood flow is restricted by blocked arteries, then tissues oxygenated by the latter stages of the capillary system may be so deprived of oxygen as to become cancerous ... Read more...
Oxygen and the Immune System
Just like a car engine which has been using the wrong fuel, a human body which has not been getting enough oxygen for a period of time does not run right and begins to "die".
Death of the body begins when the white lymphocytes or white blood cells of the body can not get rid of the toxic waste materials left behind from the use of dead fuel. When too many cells die, the whole body dies...Read more...
Oxygen For Depression
The first thing a depressed person stops doing is moving. Exercise becomes intolerable. Just a few minutes time breathing oxygen (with a citrus aroma) can lift that feeling of depression giving you that chemical balance that is needed to feel well and be well.
Oxygen will improve circulation sending invigorating oxygen to your brain and all your muscles. Oxygen will flush toxins from the body as well...Read more..
Oxygen for Headaches
In 1940, Dr. Alvarez reported the treatment of over 100 persons suffering from headache attacks. They were treated with oxygen with a nasal type of mask and a flow of six to eight liters a minute. He found that 80 percent of "migrainous" headaches were completely or significantly relieved...Read more...
