Oxygen is one of the five basic elements of life. The other four basic elements of life are: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and sulphur.
Oxygen is the source of life. There is oxygen everywhere around us. Lack of oxygen has many effects on our health.
Professor Otto Warbur (Nobel price in 1931) found out significant associations in the area of metabolism at cell level.
A cancer cell is originally a cell which needs oxygen for metabolism. However, this cancer cell can change it's form so that it can survive also in a oxygen-free environment. Professor Warburg came to the conclusion that cancer cells can develop only in oxygen-free environment. Glucose begins fermenting when there is not enough oxygen at cell level. At this stage a cell is no longer functional and well and cannot provide a body with energy. A low oxygen level in blood lowers our immunity considerably.
Oxygen plays an important role in toxin desposal from a single cell and thus from the whole body. Oxygen has an important role also when fighting the free radicals. These are atoms and molecules which are missing an electrone. Because of this they are very unstable and get easily nervous. Free radicals live less than 1/10.000 seconds but they can disturb metabolism already during this time significantly. Because of a missing molecule they have an overactive ability to bind other molecules and "steal" electrones. Antioxidants help us to build a healthier system which is able to defend against free radicals.
There is no metabolism without oxygen. There is no energy without metabolism at cell level. Oxygen is the source of life. Lack of oxygen causes illnessess and weakening of health. We need oxygen to survive. Main oxygen suppliers are rain forests and sea plankton. The main key to our health is in optimal metabolism and in the balance between nutrients and oxygen.
A cancerous cell is originally a cell which needs oxygen for metabolism. However, this cancerous cell can change it's form so that it can survive also in a oxygen-free environment. Professor Warburg came to conclusion that cancerous cells can develop only in oxygen-free environment.
When there is not enough oxygen at cell level, begins glucose fermenting. In stead of providing the purest cell energy (A.T.P = Adenosin-Tri-Phosphat), it starts fermenting with glucose. At this stage a cell is no longer functional and well and cannot provide a body with energy. A low oxygen level in blood lowers our immunity significantly.
Oxygen plays an important role with waste deposit from a single cell and thus from the whole body. Oxygen has an important role also when fighting the free radicals. These are atoms and molecules which are missing an electrone. Because of this they are very unstable and get easily nervous. Free radicals live less than 1/10.000 seconds but they can disturb metabolism already during this time significantly. Because of a missing molecule they have an overactive ability to bind other molecules and "steal" electrones. Anti-oxidants help to build a healthier system which is able to defend against free radicals.
Without oxygen there is no metabolism. Without metabolism at cell level there is no energy. Oxygen is the source of life. Lack of oxygen causes weakening of health and illnesses.
