Oxygen

To follow up on my last post, below is a link to a good article on the

importance of cellular oxygenation.

Directly quoted from the article:

"Oxygen

shortage in the human body has been linked to

every major illness category including... heart

conditions, cancer, digestion and elimination problems, respiratory

disease,

inflamed, swollen and aching joints, sinus problems, yeast infections

and even

sexual dysfunction.

Fresh live foods and rain water contain oxygen.

Cooked

foods and stagnant water has much less oxygen. Oxygen is our primary

source of energy. It displaces harmful free radicals, neutralizes

environmental

toxins and destroys anaerobic (the inability to live in oxygen rich

environments) infectious bacteria, parasites, microbes and viruses.

Oxygen is the main energy source for our brain

function.

It calms the mind and stabilizes the nervous system. Without oxygen we

cannot

absorb important vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients our body

needs. When

our cells lack oxygen they weaken and die. Without oxygen, nothing

works very

well or at all..

More indicators of possible

low oxygen

levels in the body are

muscle aches;

forgetfulness;

heart palpitations;

circulation or digestive problems;

damaged cell growth;

excessive amounts of colds and

infections.

The American Heart Association

states that over 1.5

million people die per year from heart conditions and that 70% of our

population has some evidence of heart condition. All

heart attacks come down to the hard working

heart muscle’s failure to receive adequate supplies of oxygen.

Of course maintaining one’s arteries and capillaries for easy blood

passage is indispensable to optimal health but the fastest way to get

oxygen

right now is to breathe.

Hypoxia, or oxygen starvation,

over-stimulates the

sympathetic nervous system causing heart rate increases and invites

eventual

cardiac troubles. The heart must work harder to replace get the oxygen

it needs

and eventually it will collapse.

Oxygen depletion weakens our

immune system, which

leads to

viral infections

damaged cells

growths

inflamed joints

serious heart and circulatory

problems

toxic buildup in blood and

premature aging

Low oxygen allows damaged cells to multiply and form

growths in our bodies because our cells are oxygen deficient. If

the cells

in our bodies are rich in oxygen, mutated cells are less able to

reproduce.
