We all know we need oxygen to breath, but did you know that we only get 21% oxygen from the air we breath?
While this is sufficient for most people to survive, we could all benefit from additional oxygen, especially if one suffers from lung conditions like pulmonary fibrosis, asthma, or sleep apnea.
There are many benefits to increasing the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream through various therapies and exercise.
Check out our Top 5 Amazing Benefits down below!
#1 Decrease or Eliminate Fatigue and Headache from Long Illness Symptoms
Virus-related illnesses have been rampant in the past 2 years, and some of us have been left highly affected long after the viruses have left the body. Oxygen is crucial in decreasing or eliminating symptoms such as fatigue, headache, and fogginess caused by such illnesses.
#2 Reduce Shortness of Breath
While oxygen can't completely get rid of all shortness of breath experienced by various health conditions, it can help many people feel less breathless during daily activities.
#3 Increase Energy Levels
Having low oxygen levels in your bloodstream is a major cause of fatigue. Circulating more oxygen through your blood with Oxygen Therapy can go a long way in improving your overall energy levels throughout the day.
#4 Improve Your Quality of Sleep
One reason that many lung disease patients have difficulty sleeping at night is because they lose oxygen overnight, especially while in the REM stage of sleep. There are many other factors that can contribute to sleeplessness, but Oxygen Therapy is one proven method in improving sleep.
#5 Raise Your Activity Level
Since Oxygen can improve energy levels, activity levels often get raised in the process. As we become more active, additional oxygen is then supplied to the bloodstream simply through the extra activity levels.
The Bottom Line
Good health is a Holistic process, meaning that one healthy change in behavior can lead to the energy and motivation to engage in more healthy behaviors. Each then leads to increasingly better outcomes.
Getting plenty of oxygen through Oxygen Therapy is one valuable tool in improving our overall health and our ability to tackle more healthy habits.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy uses a pressurized environment with oxygen levels that are higher than 1 atmosphere absolute. The increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve and saturate more effectively in the bloodstream.
