Oxygen for Stress

Stress comes in many forms, all of which can be debilitating: emotional stress, physical stress, toxic stress, and pathogenic stress. Stress can cause headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, mood swings, increased heart rates, the inability to concentrate, and more.

All forms of stress can affect your body's ability to take in and utilize oxygen, the most important nutrient to your body. Prolonged stress, as we all know, can cause serious, life threatening disease.

What is the first thing more people tell you when you are stressed?... BREATH! Why?... because breathing gets more oxygen into your body... and more oxygen in the body helps it cope with stress!

Practitioners of Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Meditation and other relaxation exercises all focus on BREATHING. They are all based on the premise that maximizing oxygen intake will keep your body relaxed, your muscles loose, and your mind clear and focused.

In the past few years, oxygen bars have become very popular. Most people who visit these oxygen bars report increased energy, a clearer mind and a relaxed, euphoric feeling when they leave. Portable oxygen offers similar benefits as an oxygen bar, but with the convenience of being in a small portable can.

The next time you are completely stressed out, try inhaling some oxygen and just see how it makes you feel!
