Benefits of Oxygen Therapy

Exercise With Oxygen Therapy super oxygenates the blood, colon, liver, and body tissues. Large quantities of oxygen in the body assist with the elimination of old toxic waste from the colon, liver, blood, brain, and entire cellular structure. Oxygen is known to destroy viruses, harmful bacteria, fungi and parasites, which enables the immune system to flourish.
 
During exercise, breathing higher oxygen levels provides an immediate increase in strength, endurance, and energy. Burn more calories in the same 15, 20 or 30 minute workout!

Optimizing the Body’s Elimination and Detoxification Pathways

The elimination of toxins has been considered  a mainstay of wellness for centuries. And, it’s really much simpler than is sounds. Here are a few ways to optimize your body’s natural detoxification:

1. Promote Daily Bowel Movements by drinking plenty of water and eating fiber (plant material); use enemas and colonics as necessary.

2.  Use Saunas for Detox… (unless you doctor advises otherwise). Fat tends to hold onto toxins, and it has been shown that regular saunas, help to detoxify and improve health.

3. Healthy Foods Help to Detoxify the Body… the key to detoxification is through lifestyle… exercise, drinking plenty of pure water, and eating foods that promote the elimination of toxins… fruits, vegetable, nuts, and seeds. Try to eat at least 51 percent raw each day. Raw, living foods are packed with nutrients and are easy to digest, providing your body with energy and the power to detoxify.

Ann Wigmore, the founder of the Living Foods Lifestyle, felt that dis-ease is the result of toxins that have built up in the body and a lack of proper nutrients. And, she taught that “Living Foods” are important to achieve and maintain wellness because they are packed with nutrients, easy to digest, and aid in detoxification.

TMJ and Massage Therapy

If you’re experiencing TMJ symptoms (such as jaw stiffness, pain, soreness, clicking, and popping), you may want to consider massage therapy. Studies have tested massage’s effects on TMJ pain and have shown that receiving work on the lateral pterygoid muscle (involved in opening the jaw) helps ease pain, reduce joint clicking, and allows better mouth-opening. Acupuncture and biofeedback therapy also show to be promising treatments for TMJ issues.

Massage Therapy Reduces and May Even Eliminate the Effects of Stress

“The Consequences of Stress… Experts estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent of disease is stress-related. Massage and bodywork is there to combat that frightening number by helping us remember what it means to relax. The physical changes massage brings to your body can have a positive effect in many areas of your life. Besides increasing relaxation and decreasing anxiety, massage lowers your blood pressure, increases circulation, improves recovery from injury, helps you to sleep better and can increase your concentration. It reduces fatigue and gives you more energy to handle stressful situations. Massage is a perfect elixir for good health, but it can also provide an integration of body and mind. By producing a meditative state or heightened awareness of living in the present moment, massage can provide emotional and spiritual balance, bringing with it true relaxation and peace.The incredible benefits of massage are doubly powerful if taken in regular “doses.” Dr. Maria Hernandez-Reif, from the Touch Research Institute (TRI) at the University of Miami, is known for her massage research, along with colleague Tiffany Field. Together, they and other researchers have done outstanding work proving the value of massage. While their studies have shown we can benefit from massage even in small doses (15 minutes of chair massage or a half-hour table session), Hernandez-Reif says they know from their research that receiving bodywork 2-3 times a week is highly beneficial. And if we lived in a fantasy world, Hernandez-Reif has the answer. “I feel a daily massage is optimal.”It’s undoubtedly a wonderful thing when your therapist begins unwinding those stress-tightened muscles, and your day’s troubles begin to fade away. But it’s the cherry on top to know this “medicine” only gets better with frequency.”

What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Having a proper functioning lymphatic system is necessary for our body to drain stagnant fluids, detoxify tissues, remove toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system. Lymph vessels rely on the muscles to contract and cause lymph to flow. Lymph circulation can become hindered or stopped and lymph fluid stagnant due to surgery, fatigue, stress, and aging.

Lymphatic massage is designed to attain and help sustain proper functioning of the lymphatic system.  It involves gentle use of pressure to aid in the recirculation of body fluids and may help with:

  • ~Reduction in swelling
  • ~Detoxification of the body
  • ~Regeneration of tissue
  • ~Relief of inflammation
  • ~Immune system stimulation
  • ~Relief of chronic pain
  • ~Deep relaxation

Exercise With Oxygen Therapy

Most diseases, whether resulting from allergy, infection or toxicity, cause edema or swelling of the smallest blood vessels. This swelling reduces blood flow and therefore the rate at which oxygen dissolved in the blood stream can reach the tissues. As the reduction in tissue oxygenation continues, all body functions are compromised and a person feels fatigued, the characteristic symptom reported by most sick people. Oxygen deprivation also causes mental fogginess and loss of mental sharpness. These signs and symptoms are not surprising when you realize that the organ systems of the body that use the most oxygen are the muscles, skeletal system, heart, and brain.

If you’d like to come in and try our exercise with oxygen therapy, we will put you on a stair climber or exercise bike and have you exercise for 20 minutes while breathing oxygen enriched air through a mask. You might want to try it before a massage or colonic session. Book your appointment at www.livingartswellness.com today!

Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is Powerful
Exercise while you breathe higher concentrations of oxygen. Right now, you are breathing approx. 21% O2. During exercise, breathing higher oxygen levels provides an immediate increase in strength, endurance, and energy. Burn more calories in the same 15, 20 or 30 minute workout!

EWOT is Well-Being
In addition to this surge of power during exercise, EWOT increases blood plasma oxygen levels. Increasing your oxygen levels can offer amazing metabolism & immune function improvement. Most diseases thrive in low oxygen environments. The healthful benefits of EWOT include higher oxygen levels to all parts of the body. Keep the body highly oxygenated and reduce the risk of many diseases.

EWOT is Anti-Aging
Aging involves loosing the ability to carry oxygen to all tissues of the body. EWOT provides anti-aging benefits through increasing oxygen carrying capacity.

EWOT is for Everyone 
EWOT does not require a prescription. No oxygen tanks to pay for each month. All you need is an oxygen generator which takes room air and removes the nitrogen, providing up to 95% pure oxygen. Simply wear the oxygen delivery system to enrich the air you breath during exercise. Healthful benefits of EWOT can be achieved with just three simple 15 minute aerobic workouts per week.
