Oxygen Starvation

But our bodies are now experiencing oxygen starvation on a daily basis. The following factors rob oxygen from our bodies:

Toxic Sress: Whether derived from the water we drink, the air we breath of the food we eat, we are now subject to over 70,000 different toxic contaminates, many that did not exist a decade ago. Oxygen is required for the body to even attempt to metabolize and eliminate these lethal chemicals from the body.
Emotional Stress: Adrenaline and adrenaline-related hormones are created by the body during emotionally stressful times (like every day for many of us). The body must use its available oxygen to metabolize these chemicals back out of the body to re-establish metabolic balance.
Physical Trauma and Infections: Bacteria and viruses can put tremendous stress on the body's immune system. When this occurs, the immune system is robbed of the oxygen that is necessary for the body's normal metabolic functions.
Reduction in available atmospheric oxygen: Studies reveal that increased environmental pollution and "green plant" destruction has reduced the amount of oxygen (by as much as 50%!) in our atmosphere over the last 200 years.
Improper diets:Saturated fats can reduce oxygen in the blood stream. Foods with high fat contents and low nutrient values, (i.e. junk and highly processed foods,) have less than half of the oxygen content than complex carbohydrates.
Lack of exercise:Exercising increases the body's metabolic rate as well as the intake of oxygen to help cleanse the body of built-up toxins. A sedentary lifestyle reduces the body's ability to process out toxic contaminates and to perform normal metabolic functions
