"Our bodies were designed to operate in an environment that existed hundreds of years ago -- when 30 to 40 percent of the air breathed was oxygen. Due in a large part to pollution, today, oxygen levels are about half that - 20 to 22 percent in most U.S. cities; as low as 15 percent in others.
According to Ed McCabe, author of "Flood Your Body With Oxygen," by living in an oxygen-deficient environment and not feeding our cells the proper oxygen and nutrients needed for cleaning out toxins and wastes, our body fluids and blood can become dirty and toxic. A lack of oxygen to our cells weakens our immune system, which may lead to viral infections, damaged cells, bacterial growths, inflamed joints, serious heart and circulatory problems, toxic buildup in blood and premature aging.
However, if the cells in our bodies are rich in oxygen, mutated cells may be less able to reproduce Other benefits of having adequate levels of oxygen in our systems: increased energy; the ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels; enhanced brain function; a reduction in stress; the ability to overcome fatigue; and looking and feeling younger."
It is true that our environment exposes us to quite a beating. Some things that I believe are very beneficial to restoring our bodies natural ability to get adequate oxygen include; Qigong (or any other aerobic exercise that gets your body breathing more), supplementation for both nutritional value and restorative purposes, eating organic and unprocessed foods, drinking plenty of clean water, breath work, air purification systems, adding plants to your home (or any environment you spend a considerable amount of time in), and techniques for rebalancing your body.
I also have invested in green pans which do not let off the toxic chemicals that standard pots and pans do when they get to a specific heat.
There are excellent techniques, body movements and natural exercises that restore balance in your body and therefore allow the body to function optimally. I really like Body Talk Access because it is simple and effective.
Supplements can be used for detoxification, nourishment and healing. There are a lot of excellent supplements on the market. I personally like chlorella as one of my supplements for it ability to cleans heavy metal toxins and provide nutrients. Antioxidants are a wonderfully beneficial addition to a regimen.
Since the skin is like a sponge and absorbs what ever it is in contact with, I use natural lotions and soaps. I have made my home a safer place by using house hold products that are free of chemicals and safe for both me and the environment.
Although I am not a saint when it comes to eating, I have established a few ground rules. I still enjoy some of the luxuries in moderation, which I think is important for emotional balance. First, I eat what I enjoy in terms of healthy foods and do not try to force myself to eat something just because I think I should.
I buy organic produce and foods when they are available. I stay away from as much processed food as possible. And I drink Gano Healthy Coffee to get my coffee fix.
