Is takes more oxygen for us to handle the acidic nature of our diet of grains, meat, soft drinks, alcohol and junk foods. By eating foods which have a high oxygen content, we nourish the body. Overeating depletes oxygen because it requires the body to oxidize the excessive metabolic wastes. Pesticides and other chemicals in the food chain cause our body to use up oxygen protecting itself. Unless we breathe properly, even the best of diets won t pay off in better health.
Proper breathing is an often overlooked key to foundational health and longevity.
And our need for healthy breathing has only been exacerbated by environmental pollution and the degradation of food and water quality. Most people breathe in ways that contribute to disease - and habitually practice it about 20,000 times each day. Drugs and medicines, herbs and vitamins, pills and potions, including oxygen treatment itself, can only go so far. If we are not breathing in ways that revitalize and restore us, we surely are in decline. It happened naturally and seemingly overnight.
