Free Ways to Correct Oxygen Deficiency, Part 1: Eat More Raw Foods

Oxygen is the world’s most basic fuel! Most people are starved of oxygen and risk oxygen deficiency because of several factors, including:

In this six-part series, we will look at each in more detail. Today’s topic is oxygen and raw food.

Part 1: Oxygen and Raw Foods

How can you correct oxygen deficiency? First, adopt a healthy eating style, which includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

We get oxygen into our bodies, including the food we eat. What you choose to eat at every meal impacts the amount of oxygen your body has to do its work. Eating as many raw foods as possible is crucial, as they benefit you with extra oxygen.

In this article on Breathing.com:

A diet highest in oxygen is a raw food diet with a high concentration of fruits, green vegetables and sprouted seeds and nuts. This is largely because live fruits, green vegetables and sprouted/soaked seeds and nuts are composed of water, which is hydrogen and oxygen and mostly oxygen by weight. The green in the vegetable is chlorophyll which is very close in atomic structure to human blood. Chlorophyll has a magnesium atom and human blood differs only with an iron atom. With enzymes from raw food the magnesium ion is changed to an iron one making blood that can transport oxygen for human use instead of CO2 for plant use…

Enzymes are almost as important as oxygen as they are excellent sources of alkalization minerals. When you cook food, heating kills the oxygen and enzymes within the food. This alkalizing aids cells in staying at a healthy pH level. On the other hand, if you want to deplete oxygen from your body and become oxygen-deficient, the best oxygen-depleting diet would consist of highly cooked foods, sugar, red meat, saturated fats, white bread, and highly processed foods, frozen foods, and carbonated beverages.

Combat oxygen deficiency with whole grains, raw vegetables, and grains.

Fresh foods contain much more oxygen than processed foods. This additional oxygen makes the metabolic/digestive process more effortless.

Once someone switches to an oxygen-rich diet, they often comment about an almost immediate increase in energy.

The Best Foods To Improve Oxygen Deficiency

Choose foods rich in chlorophyll, such as dark green leafy foods like spinach, broccoli, kale, mustard greens, spirulina, chlorella, and blue-green algae. Juice them for optimal results.

Additionally, when you eat low-oxygen or oxygen-deficient foods, your body uses more of its stored oxygen to metabolize this food. It is a double deprivation of oxygen in your body. First, you put food into it that is less oxygen-rich than other food choices. And second, your body must work harder and supply more oxygen for the process of metabolizing them. Is it any wonder why a diet rich in whole, raw foods have been associated with better health and longer life for centuries?

When eating a diet low in oxygen, you may want to consider a superior oxygen supplement like OxygenSuperCharger™.
