DID YOU KNOW?
80%
of all our metabolic energy production is created by oxygen. The human
body is largely composed of oxygen, so it is no wonder that scientists
are now discovering how low levels of oxygen can disrupt the ability of
the body to function correctly to enhance health.
The
oxygen concentration in a healthy human body is approximately three
times that of air. Fortunately, oxygen is the most abundant element on
earth comprising nearly 50% of the crust of the earth and averaging
about 20% of the air we breathe.
Scientists now also agree that
oxygen plays a powerful and primary role in our overall health and
well-being. A growing number of researchers have confirmed that the best
way to improve health, increase energy and promote detoxification may
be related to the optimum oxygen content of every cell. Oxygen also
plays a vital role in proper metabolic functions, blood circulation, the
assimilation of nutrients, digestion and the elimination of cellular
and metabolic wastes.
All
metabolic processes in the body are regulated by oxygen. Our brains
process billions of bits of information each second that require oxygen
to create cellular energy. Our metabolic processes work to detoxify our
bodies of waste and toxins which takes energy created by oxygen. And our
ability to think, feel and act also requires oxygen-related energy
production.
Oxygenated foods, oxygen supplements and oxygen-related therapies are continuing to make exciting
advancements in the fields of health and wellness. It is time for us to
appreciate the remarkable oxygen atom and its strategic health role in
cleansing, purification, growth and disease prevention.
