Video: What is Oxygen, and How Does Oxygen Work?
Oxygen is a non-metallic element that is usually a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-flammable gas.
Oxygen is primarily absorbed through the lungs and carried throughout the body in blood cells.
On the other hand, liquid oxygen bypasses the lungs & is absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Why? Because there are different types of oxygen atoms called isotopes, some do not have to be inhaled.
One of these “alternative” oxygen isotopes is in our unique formulation of bio-available liquid oxygen within a liquid base. No breathing is necessary.
In general, oxygen is necessary because it is the key element responsible for all cells’ healthy life and activity. In fact, oxygen produces 80% of all our metabolic energy!
Oxygen enables cells to release and break the connection of the energy stored in our food as high-energy chemical bonds. Then oxygen helps cells use that energy to do what cells do: keep us alive: heart beating, brain thinking, kidneys flushing, to mention only a few.
The average amount of oxygen in the blood is about 96%. If levels dip below 90 percent, cells cease to perform as usual & your health could be at risk.
Our brain makes up only 2% of our total body mass yet requires 25% of the body’s oxygen. Decrease the amount of oxygen in your body, and your brain becomes dull and listless. Increased oxygen promotes clearer thinking and reduces mental fatigue.
Oxygen also plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system. Oxygen is necessary to form white blood cells that fight disease and help maintain good health. A good supply of oxygen is essential when infection depletes the oxygen your body uses to combat harmful bacteria.
And oxygen is essential for maintaining and repairing all of your cells. It promotes the growth of fibroblast (a type of repair cell) and collagen production, which are necessary to heal skin damage.
And oxygen is essential in detoxifying your cells. Oxygen (negative electrical charge) attaches itself to the Toxins in the cells and neutralizes their positive charge. With sufficient oxygen, the cell’s DNA can expel what doesn’t belong there and helps the body heal itself! Cell impurities become less magnetic and, therefore, less toxic and easier for the body to remove.
Oxygen also plays a crucial role in stamina and endurance. Your body stores its fuel, known as carbohydrates, in the form of glycogen. Mainly in the liver & smaller amounts in the muscles. When you put your muscles to work, the glycogen is transformed into glucose; then, the glucose is burned by the body for the energy the muscles need.
Q: What does your body need to transform glycogen into glucose?
OXYGEN!
So, the more oxygen you have available for your cells to use, the faster the transformation of glycogen into glucose. And the quicker the change, the more energy and stamina you’ll have.
Bottom Line: Our bodies work better, faster, and easier when they have a good supply of oxygen.
And those are only a few of the many ways oxygen is your body’s essential nutrient.
