Getting enough oxygen to thrive?
Oxygen fuels the body, not food. More than a few minutes without oxygen is sufficient to damage the brain. But, what happens if you are ‘undernourished’ with oxygen? Our cells are gasping for air, and we need more oxygen to thrive.
Oxygen Fuels Life
Every single cell needs oxygen to make bio-electrical energy. Oxygen from the air enters the lungs and diffuses into the blood to be transported around the body. We also breathe out waste products, including carbon dioxide.
Your cells and organs receive vital oxygen via a network of blood vessels. Arteritis is the ‘highways’ taking blood to and from the heart and lungs at high pressure. These tubes get gradually thinner until they are tiny capillaries only wide enough for red blood cells in a single file.
Oxygen Deprivation
If the lungs are clogged with sticky mucus, it causes congestion, like a traffic jam. Narrow capillaries easily get blocked, and oxygen transport is reduced.
Cells on the outside of your body have their own oxygen supply. But organs deep inside rely on the oxygen delivered by the blood. The body is a single system; you can’t heal just one piece at a time. If the lungs are congested, then oxygen levels are low, and disease will surely follow. Every disease is based on oxygen deficiency. You need to get healing oxygen flowing through your body.
Oxygen Provides Energy
The brain uses 20% of the total oxygen supply, despite only representing 2% of body weight. Brain fog and mental fatigue are the results of low levels of oxygen in fluids that surround the brain.Lack of oxygen stops us from getting to sleep at night. When we sleep, the brain cleanses itself with rhythmical waves of fluid. Insomnia, due to oxygen deprivation, makes people feel crazy and act insane. When the acids are detoxed, and oxygen levels are restored, sleep returns, and the body starts to heal again.
We Are What We Breathe!
Stress also changes our breathing. When we feel anxious, we take rapid breaths that don’t fill the lungs with enough air or expel all the carbon dioxide. To heal the body, we must exercise, take full, deep, and calming breaths – ideally in oxygen-rich environments. With enough oxygen and minerals, we naturally heal.
