New research confirms the link between Decreased Oxygen levels, Aging and Disease
When you visit a beauty therapy salon, one of the treatments, which are available, is oxygenating skin care treatments. However, in recent time new technology incorporating ionised oxygen has proven highly effective in treating both skin and health conditions simultaneously.
This article presents some new medical evidence that suggests that ionised oxygen can be a very powerful treatment options against disease and aging.
After reviewing years of medical research conducted at the California Brain Bio Centre, scientist believe they have finally discovered the underlying cause of many health problems, plus how to help prevent and reverse them.
The presence of oxygen in your body on a cellular level can mean the difference between good health and a sickly existence. The overwhelming proof is well documented, "If you don’t have enough oxygen in your body, drugs, vitamins and food are of little help. You are just playing musical chairs on the Titanic," stated Abraham A Chaplan MD PhD. Doctors now know for a fact that there is a direct correlation between decreased oxygen levels and an increase in human illness and disease.
"Cancer is a condition within the body where the oxidation has become so depleted that the body cells have degenerated beyond physiological control," stated Dr Wendell Hendricks.
Dr Muntz, a renowned Molecular Biologist, also revealed that both physical and emotional stress rob the body of huge amounts of much-needed oxygen. He states, "Any form of stress can cause oxygen deficiency. Stress due to chemical toxicity leads to a reduction in oxygen as the body attempts to detoxify itself by oxidising accumulated toxins. Emotional stress produces adrenaline and adrenaline-related hormones, required of the body to draw down its oxygen reserves for their production and eventually oxidation; infection also depletes the body of oxygen, which is used to combat bacteria. Even the stress of chronically heavy workload will deplete the body of much needed oxygen. In short, oxygen deficiency will result from any excessive stress, whatever the cause," he stated.
Dr. Muntz went further to say that "In all serious diseases we find a very low oxygen state. Low oxygen in the body tissues is a sure indicator of disease. Hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in the tissues, is the fundamental cause of all degenerative disease."
The key to peak brain function, mental clarity and nervous system response
Another important benefit is that oxygen appears to greatly aid nervous system response,
promotes brain function, relieves mental fatigue and restores mental clarity to optimal levels. Oxygen can give your body the help it needs to achieve and maintain peak brain function, consistent mental clarity and proper nervous system response. High oxygen concentrations are the undisputed key to achieving consistently superior function in these three areas.
Oxygen and the skin
So what does that all mean to us? As beauty therapists we strive to slow the aging process and to encourage regeneration. However, oxygen plays a very important roll in all those functions and therefore should be considered as an intrinsic part of our treatments if we are to support internal as well as external health. Our bodies use oxygen to turn nutrients into energy through oxidation. This simply means that the oxygen we breathe creates a chemical reaction that allows the body to burn nutrients as fuel. Fuel that keeps us going and regulates our metabolism.
Working with the skin, we also know that the condition of the skin is 80% the result of external, extrinsic aging factors. Harsh sunlight, smog, stuffy air in closed rooms all affects the metabolism of the skin in a visibly negative way. As a result the skin becomes thinner and drier. It loses its elasticity much too prematurely. Lines and wrinkles engrave themselves in. On other parts of the body the tissue becomes slack resulting in unsightly symptoms like flabby skin and cellulite. The skin reflects the effects of aging onto the metabolism and thus the whole organism. It then lacks more and more the decisive factor: energy. And this energy is the strength of active oxygen.
It is worth noting however that for optimum metabolism it is not the quantity of the oxygen but rather the quality of the oxygen that is always the important factor. New research suggests that active ionised oxygen has very positive benefits for good health and vitality.
