The Benefits of Oxygen
The three basic nutrients without which planet earth could not exist as a home for living things are light, water, and oxygen.
Everybody knows that walking in fresh air does you good. It promotes the capacity of thinking and improves efficiency.
A deep breath raises our energy
levels within a short time. Even after physical exercises we feel more active
and fresh although a lot of energy has been used up.
One major reason for aging is the failure of enzymatic systems that are responsible for our bodie's uptake and utilization of oxygen. When our cells don't get enough oxygen, they degenerate and die.
Lack of mobility, infections and toxins make our oxygen status worse and this worsening produces illness. This degeneration is connected with a noticeable reduction of physical and mental powers, especially in old age.
Lack of oxygen causes a critical decrease of the
cardiac output; less oxygen is transported through the body. For example, the
oxygen supply of 80 year-old person can go down as far as 66% of the maximum
amount.
Human beings can take a lot of punishment, mentally and physically, so these frequent drops in our ability to utilize oxygen efficiently are not going to kill anyone immediately.
But each level of oxygen deprivation takes its toll, and if a few cells die here and there due to constant external (or internal) stress, it begins to add up. The end result is premature aging.
So if a simple system can be used that constantly provides the body with additional oxygen, these stress factors can be, to a certain extent, neutralized.
