How important is oxygen? It is essential for life and better health!
The medical and scientific communities are recognizing more and more the importance of getting enough oxygen, here are some extracts from some professionals and what they have said about deep breathing and oxygen:
"Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system.
We can look at oxygen deficiency as the single greatest cause of all diseases." -
Stephen Levine, molecular biologist and geneticist, and Dr. Paris M. Kidd, Ph.D.,
"Antioxidant Adaptation"
"Deep breathing techniques which increase oxygen to the cell are the most important factors in living a disease free and energetic life... Where cells get enough oxygen, cancer will not and cannot occur." - Dr. Otto Warburg, President, Institute of Cell Physiology, Nobel Prize Winner
"Oxygenation through deep breathing boosts the immune system and can rid the body of chronic illnesses." - Dr. Sheldon Hendler, MD, Medical Researcher Cell Oxygenation, Author of "The Oxygen Breakthrough"
"Breathing correctly is the key to better fitness, muscle strength, stamina, and athletic endurance." - Dr. Michael Yessis, Phd., President Sports Training Institute, Fitness Writer - Muscle and Fitness Magazine.
"All body functions are breathing related. Proper oxygen delivery to all parts of your body is crucial to health and well-being. Aerobic exercise increases the body's available oxygen and therefore promotes wellness. Delivering oxygen to the body is the responsibility of the respiratory system. Breathing is the process by which air enters the bloodstream, via the lungs. Thus, proper breathing, and correcting common breathing disorders, is the ultimate form of aerobics." - Dr. Robert Fried, "Breath Connection," Insight Books, 1990, p. 52
"Deep diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the cleansing of the lymph system by creating a vacuum effect which pulls the lymph through the bloodstream. This increases the rate of toxic elimination by as much as 15 times the normal rate." - Dr. J.W. Shields, MD, "Lymph, lymph glands, and homeostasis." Lymphology, v25, n4, Dec. 1992, p. 147
"According to scientists, extra oxygen along with a cleansing diet can return balance to the body." - Elizabeth Baker,"The Unmedical Miracle: Oxygen." Drelwood Communications, p.80.
In a recent article in the Journal of Longevity entitled "Oxygen Decreases Leading to Worldwide Increase in Disease", the author, Dr Phillip C Stavish, concurs that we are slowly suffocating from lack of oxygen and that oxygen deficiency causes everything from a feeling of easiness to full-blown illness. He states that oxygen depletion - not global warming - is the real danger facing mankind and that we are a a near crisis point concerning oxygen in our air and in our cells. "Oxygen deficiency results in a weakend immune system, which can lead to viral problems, damaged cell growths, toxic build up in the blood and premature aging - among other ailments," Dr Stavish notes.
The SlimBody4Life Method teaches us to breathe more effectively and empowers our bodies to access the true power of oxygen, that quintessential element by integrating exercise and breathing to exploit the real power of oxygen and help create a slimmer and healthier body.
