What Is the Importance of Oxygen?
Oxygen is the most important and vital element for the survival of life. The air that you are breathing right now consists of 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% inert gases. Oxygen is essential to sustain life in two ways: all of the body’s major components (water, protein, carbohydrates, and fat) contain oxygen, and oxygen drives the chemical reactions that produce energy. Energy is essential for the body’s normal daily functions. With HBOT, oxygen is more available for the cells and tissues of the body. This is probably what makes HBOT so effective in some cases of cerebral palsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, autism, chronic fatigue, and infections, migraine headaches, all kinds of brain injuries, elective or passive reconstructive surgery, sport injuries, and many more ailments.
