Effects on the Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system's response to exercise is aimed at guaranteeing adequate oxygen delivery to the working tissues.
This is done by increases in the heart rate and the heart rate increases almost linearly with the increases work rate, with the
peak value depending primarily on age and the state of physical fitness. If the increase of blood flow is not uniformly distributed,
rather, blood is hunted from non exercising organs (gut), to most active ones (legs, arms, heart, respiratory muscles), blood
pressure increases during due primarily to increases in systolic pressure without major changes in the diastolic component.
This increased pressure is easily accommodated in normal persons, but may have dire consequences in people who already
have increased baseline pressure as a function of underlying hypoxemia and lung disease.
With progressive exercise, minute ventilation (VE) increases from resting values of 6-8 L/min to reach values of 100-200 L/min,
depending on the individual persons physical fitness. The increase in VE is linear with work rates up to 50-90% of maximum
work, when it disproportionately increases. This observed increase is best explained by the onset of anaerobic metabolism
(termed anaerobic threshold (AT). The occurrence of AT is related to the increased energy need of the working cells. As the cells
energy production rate exceeds the utilization (availability) of O2, a shift from the oxidative pathway is made to the pyruvate-lactate
mechanism which, though less in energy production, allows for exercise to continue. This metabolic change results in increased
lactic acid production (metabolic acidosis), which further stimulates ventilation (thereby explaining the faster rate in VE). Local
accumulation of lactic acid may help explain the pain and fatigue that individuals feel when performing intense exercise or the
frequently reported pain in the rib cage in people with severe ventilator loads.
When O2 is given to exercising subjects without their knowledge, the onset of lactic acidosis is delayed. Exercise results in
significant cardiovascular and respiratory changes that are aimed and maintaining adequate oxygen tissue supply, and
elimination of the products of metabolism (CO2 and organic acids). Whether the limitation to acute exercise is due to cardiac or
respiratory reasons depends on the physiological state of the person exercising. The crucial role played by oxygen in the
genesis of the energy needed to perform a task may be the success of EWOT or oxygen therapy. Increased oxygen supply
should theoretically improve exercise by decreasing the onset of lactic acid. Oxygen has been proven to prolong exercise when
given to normal individuals. The administration of oxygen to healthy individuals at rest results in a decrease in heart rate and
minimal drop in cardiac output and pulmonary artery pressure. When oxygen is administered to normal people during exercise,
there is less increase in heart rate.
FAQ's
Q: What is oxygen?
A: Oxygen is one of the five basic elements of all life (oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, hydrogen and carbon). There are several forms
of Oxygen, however the most common and stable form of oxygen is "O2" or diatomic oxygen.
Q: How much oxygen is in our air today?
A: Our breathable air used to contain more than 30% oxygen. Today it contains only 21% oxygen
Q: Why do I need oxygen?
A: Our bodies need to produce energy. 80% of the aerobic metabolic energy required by our bodies comes from aerobic
metabolism directly linked to oxygen intake. Only about 10% of our produced energy comes from food. In simpler terms, with
oxygen enriched air (OEA), the body will metabolize food more efficiently, generate more energy and create a healthier body.
Q: How much oxygen do I need?
A: More oxygen than you're getting today. As mentioned before the Earth's oxygen levels have dropped considerably over the
years. That issue combined with our breathing techniques contribute greatly to our lack of proper oxygen intake. When taking
oxygen enriched air (OEA) through a nasal cannula or mask you will breathe normal air with it. The combination of both OEA and
normal air will produce the equivalent of approximately 55%-65% oxygen enriched air consumed.
Q: What happens if my body does not get enough oxygen?
A: The lack of oxygen in your breathable air will contribute to insufficient biological energy, which may greatly contribute to
anything from mild fatigue to life threaten diseases such as cancer. The Medical Society has confirmed the relationship between
insufficient oxygen intake and disease.
Q: Can I breath in too much pure oxygen?
A: Yes, because too much pure oxygen can be toxic to the human body. It has been proven, and medically
confirmed, that high concentrations of pure oxygen or high concentrations of pure oxygen at high pressure for a long period of
time can cause oxygen toxicity, which may result in lung damage or convulsions.
Q: Will oxygen enriched air improve my athletics?
A: Yes, Athletes and athletics require tremendous amounts of oxygen to convert carbohydrates, sugars, fats and proteins into
heat and energy required for their high activity level. This conversion process is known as oxidation and what is oxidized (or
burned) for the body's energy are carbohydrates, sugars, fats and proteins. However, oxygen is the "Fuel" required to oxidize all
or any of these foods. Without the presences of oxygen, these foods would oxidize (burn) very poorly resulting in a poor cellular
reproduction and function, which would cause inadequate production of energy.
Q: Will oxygen enriched air improve my weight management?
A: Yes; oxygen is the main fuel required to oxidize (convert) carbohydrates, sugars, fats and proteins into energy. A lack of
oxygen will promote an inadequate oxidation process (poor burning of foods), which will result in a lower percentage of your
foods being converted into energy and high percentage of your foods turning into fat.
Q: What are symptoms of oxygen deficiencies?
A: Some symptoms of oxygen deficiency may include the following:
viruses, and diseases find it very difficult to live and survive in an oxygen rich environment.
Q: Will oxygen enriched air improve my concentration?
A: Yes, concentration is a combination of a practiced exercise and having the proper diet, which includes proper amounts of
oxygenated air, to stimulate the brain's activity.
Q: Will oxygen enriched air improve my relaxation ability?
A: Yes; because typically when people are having difficulty relaxing it's due to some type of either physical or mental stress, which
may or may not be partially caused by the lack of oxygen in their system. Whatever the cause may be, an oxygen enriched air
source can ease the tensions within the body by providing the cells with the proper amount of fuel to create the ATP necessary to
provide the body and mind with the energy to relax and calm it. A lack of oxygenated air can cause our bodies to hyperventilate
and our hearts to beat faster than normal making it difficult to come to a calmed or relaxed state.
Oxygen and Disease
When there is a lack of oxygen at the cellular level the life processes required for proper and adequate cell function and
reproduction halts and the cell begins to die. Typically what happens is when cells lack the required amount of oxygen the
glucose (converted energy) within these cells starts a process of fermentation and a chain reaction is initiated. These cells start
to live off of the fermentation of the stored glucose instead of the ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) which is the pure energy created
through a chemical reaction between oxygen and the cells stored glucose. This event creates a reversal in the cell’s normal
metabolic cycle. These damaged cells begin to multiply and will no longer function as designed or contribute to the body’s
normal functions. These unhealthy cells become either malignant or benign and typically are categorized as "tumors". The
unhealthy cells themselves are considered "Cancerous." Oxygen deprivation can, and is believed by the Medical Society to
cause life-threatening diseases such as cancer. However, Bacteria, Viruses, and Diseases find it very difficult to live and survive
in an oxygen rich environment.
Supplemental and Recreational Oxygen
Vitamins, supplements, protein bars/drinks, recovery drinks - this is what you’re consuming now, yet you’re missing the key
element that greatly affects the metabolism, utilization and delivery of these products, OXYGEN! Oxygen is what keeps you alive,
yet we overlook it as a supplement. Can our bodies and mind operate more effectively and efficiently with additional
supplemental oxygen; absolutely! How? Why? The blood and circulation system is probably our most overlooked elements of
a healthy and stimulated body. The body’s tissues get their nutrition from the blood which travels via the circulation system. If your
blood is weak and your circulations system is inadequate then your tissues (muscles, organs, brain, etc.) will be fed an
inadequate diet, lacking in both nutrients and oxygen.
Supplemental oxygen greatly helps stimulate your blood and circulation systems by ensuring they have adequate oxygen or more
than adequate oxygenation to complete their assign duties effectively and efficiently. Adequate Oxygen delivery at the cellular
level enhances the tissue strength, recovery and resiliency. Are you getting enough oxygen? How do you know if you’re getting
enough oxygen? Unlike water or food, in which your body will typically alert you of thirst or hunger, oxygen deprivation is less
obvious -until it’s too late! However, Altitude will alert you rather quickly of the effects of lack of oxygen and altitude can and will
cause server illness to the point of death. This can occur in a 24 hour time frame; lack of food will take several weeks to become
fatal and lack of water will take several days to become fatal. Administration of supplemental oxygen to normal individuals
results in a 30-40% increase in tissue endurance. What do you think is the most critical element to the body’s optimum
functionally? OXYGEN is the Answer.
