Inhale. Exhale. Many of us read these statements without giving much consideration as to the power they hold. It is arguable that oxygen is the single most important nutrient to our bodies. After all, without oxygen the body will remain alive for only a few short minutes. Not to mention that 70% of our elimination is done through breathing. The beauty in this realization is that we can begin to correlate the importance of oxygen with the fact that nothing other than our own bodies are required. Living in a world where there is so much accessible information at our fingertips, we sometimes become desensitized to the simplicity of our basic needs; like good quality oxygen. How could something as simple as inhaling deeper have profound benefits to your overall health?

Let's first examine how our basic need is being compromised.

Why aren't we breathing like we should be?

• The average person uses only use 20% of their lung capacity which Ncan be due to poor posture and breathing habits- allowing toxins to accumulate in the cells & organs
• Oxygen concentrates in most major cities can be up to 30% below normal ranges. Add to that the pollutants in the air we breathe and the level of oxygen available to us is dramatically reduced.

• The amount & type of toxins we are subjected to on a daily basis (in our external & internal environments) reduces the quality and quantity of oxygen available to us.
• The quality of our air has drastically declined. Even in our homes we are subjected to more toxins and chemicals than a chemical lab in the early 1900s. Toxins from our cleaning products, air conditioners,
• It has been said that all disease starts in the colon. If the colon is filled with toxic fecal matter, the intestinal walls become clogged not allowing adequate oxygen supply to the colon. Increasing oxygen supply can help efficiently break up the compaction found in the colon.
• A deprevation of oxygen can lead to more serious health issues such as; an accumulation of toxins in the cells and organs which can lead to many chronic disease (including cancer)
