Increasing Oxygen Intake

In the last post, we shared about balanced diet. If you are new to this blog, balanced diet is one of the 4 steps in MRT concept to an optimum health (see previous posts for details). The steps are:
1. Step 1- Consumptions of balance nutrition to supply all essential nutrients to our body
2. Step 2- Increasing oxygen intake to enhance cell metabolism
3. Step 3- Detoxification to cleanse the body off toxins and waste
4. Step 4- Health regulation to make our cells more fertile and strong

Now we are in step 2 of this concept; increasing oxygen intake to enhance cell metabolism.

Oxygen gives life to us. A person who is deprived of oxygen will die in a matter of minutes and low oxygen supply will cause trouble to our body. Everyday, our body produces millions of new cells to replace cells that have been used in the metabolism process. A lot of oxygen is also used for:

• Neutralized toxic waste in our body
• Changes dangerous cancer causing agents to other safe materials
• Combining with dangerous hydrogen ions, a byproduct of fat and carbohydrates metabolism to eliminate them from our systems through sweat and urine.
• Supports vitamins functions
  

Why are we getting low supply of Oxygen?
The reasons for this are:

• Nutrients deficiencies in our system to produce red blood cell
• Seldom exercising to increase oxygen circulation in our system
• Acidic and high viscosity of blood causes blood cells to deteriorate
• Stress causes arteries to shrink and narrowed
  
• Polluted atmosphere
  

How to improve the oxygen intake to our system?
Exercising increases our heart beat rate and forces us to suck more air. Physical exercise can ease the oxygen flow in our body through increasing the oxygen supply, encouraging blood circulation besides supporting normal metabolism at cellular level.

However, our busy way of life, the confined work space and excessive environmental pollution have taken away our good quality oxygen causing us to be easily exposed to chronic diseases. Unless we find other sources to supply our oxygen needs, we have no choice but to be deprived of it and exposing us to diseases.

We will share to you in future post on ways to obtain alternatives to good quality oxygen.
