Reasons why we are not getting enough oxygen.

Modern day stress depletes our oxygen reserves.

If the body is stressed it will cause an oxygen deficiency, and there are four major types of stress which deplete oxygen:

1. TOXIC STRESS: Stress resulting from toxic environmental chemicals requires the use of extra oxygen; since oxygen is used in all detoxification processes.

2. EMOTIONAL STRESS: Stress everyone is familiar with; it brings about the production of adrenaline and adrenal-related hormones which utilize oxygen.

3. PHYSICAL TRAUMA: Reduces circulation and the subsequent oxygen supply to a great many cells and tissues throughout the entire body.

4. INFECTIONS: They use up "free-radical" forms of oxygen to combat bacteria, fungi and viruses. Frequent use of drugs to counteract infections also depletes cellular oxygen since oxygen is required to metabolize them out of the system.

The four modern-day stressors - toxic stress, emotinal stress, phusical trauma and infections - draw upon and excessively deplete the body's oxygen supply.

If the stress or stressor are not reduced, the individual becomes susceptible to a number of infirmities. Oxygen is indeed an important key to good health, and research has shown that there is a significant difference in the amount of oxygen in a strong healthy person and a chronically ill individual.
