Every cell in the body needs oxygen to function, and so it is simple reasoning that improving the percentage of oxygen reaching cells will improve the body's physical state. This is the concept behind "oxygen therapy". This involves breathing in oxygen at greater than the 21% found in normal air via nasal cannula (a small tubular device placed under the nostrils) or a mask. The treatment is so well known and popular overseas that specialized oxygen bars sprung up in Japan, Europe and the USA in the 1990's. Even our doctor visited one whilst conferencing in Vegas in 2008. An oxygen treatment has been likened to a cup of coffee for an instant energy boost! What's more, the percent of oxygen has fallen in our atmosphere over the last several thousands of years due to destroying rain forests and pollution. Some cities in the world are down to 12% oxygen, and at 7% humans die. Unfortunately, we can not breathe in 100% oxygen for long periods of time as the body would adjust to it and be unable to function back at 21%. Instead, we perform our best when we get short, regular blasts of oxygen. The recommended dosages are 100% at 10 or 20 minutes three times per week for the healthy patient. Some patients with certain medical conditions may benefit from more regular treatments especially if they are healing from wounds, whilst those with Asthma and Emphysema may require shorter times or not be suitable at all to therapy.

Most people don't even realize that their bodies may not be receiving enough oxygen to maximize their bodily functions. The symptoms of which include low energy, interrupted sleep patterns, frequent colds and infections and general poor health. A yawn is a sign seen when they are particularly low. The process of yawing allows the sudden intake of oxygen, forcing the heart to pump it through blood vessels to vital organs such as the brain. The result is a heightened sense of alertness.

Oxygen is clearly as essential to the human body as is food. So it makes sense to fuel up on it.
