What is the benefit of oxygen therapy?
Oxygen is essential for life. Every day adults consume an average of 2kg of food, 1 litre of water and almost 550 litres of oxygen. 90% of our daily energy comes from oxygen, and the rest is from food and water. The human brain uses 25% of the oxygen we breathe alone.
Oxygen is what contracts our muscles, repairs our cells, feeds our brains, and even calms our nerves. It is also our chief cleansing tool. Every day our body burns off approximately 700 billion old cells. These old cells are toxic and must be removed from our system, so if there is low oxygen in the body it struggles to do so and can lead to disease, infection and tissue destruction.
