OXYGEN, AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF LIFE
Oxygen is the essential element necessary for the transformation of food into energy and hence for life itself. The combination of food and oxygen is the equivalent of biological combustion. This process, called oxidation, allows for the production of energy that the body needs to function. The higher the production of energy, the better the body can provides high‐level performance.
The body needs an adequate supply of oxygen to remain healthy. If an adequate level of oxygenation is not attained, Hypoxia occurs. Hypoxia is characterized by an inadequate oxygenation of the cells and tissues and (eaves the body vulnerable to degenerative diseases and health problems.
OXYGENATED WATER
As water and oxygen are the two essential elements for maintaining a life, it is not surprising that for many years, scientists have been trying to develop processes that will in‐ crease the oxygen concentration in water. As we all know, water already contains some oxygen as its chemical formula (H2O) indicates. When exposed to an ambient temperature of 20°C, it shows a concentration of approximately 4,3ppm (parts per million).
All the efforts were put to find a process which would considerably increase the oxygen content in water in form of oxygen molecules (O2) and not of chemically bound oxygen. Many researchers showed that it is indeed possible to in‐ crease the quantity of oxygen dissolved in water. However, they failed to exceed an adequate threshold of concentration. Moreover, no process made it possible until now to capture the oxygen molecule in water, in a stable way, without it not being dissipated as soon as exposed to open air.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS FELT DURING OF OXYGEN SUPPLEMENT ?
In usual situation or after the exercise we feel ourselves more rested, energized and waked up during the hours that will follow. Moreover, oxygen has a positive effect in the long run on our general wellbeing. When we receive it before or during physical activity we feel ourselves full of energy and with greater physical capacity. Muscular tiredness occurs less quickly and vigilance is increased.
