Life is in the air

75% of the oxygen in the air we breathe is expelled again unused

Humans can survive for days or even weeks without food or water but only a few minutes without air. In a 24-hour period each person breathes around 400 litres of oxygen in their rested state and considerably more when exerting their bodies.

As you get older, as a result of illnesses, stress, lack of exercise, unhealthy eating and environmental stresses the body’s ability to use oxygen in the most efficient way is reduced. Oxygen is needed every second of your life to produce energy in each of the 60 billion+ cells in the body. It is necessary in order to regulate up to 1 thousand million chemical reactions in the cells per second.

The oxygen in the air and its concentration levels do not form the bottleneck itself; instead it is the ability of the body to be able to use the oxygen in the cells. An increased supply of oxygen will not therefore make any difference.

The solution: quality not quantity

What is required is not an increase in the amount of oxygen reaching the body but rather a better use of the oxygen for the body.

Here is a simple technical comparison: A badly installed combustion engine has a high level of harmful emissions, reduced performance and a shorter life expectancy. Simply increasing the amount of fuel will not solve these problems. Only by improving combustion efficiency will performance improve, harmful substances be reduced and a long life be guaranteed.
