4 Easy Steps!
I saw this article in the Alternative Daily, giving a link at the

alternative ideas.
Here are 4 ways to increase your body’s supply of oxygen today. Making these simple things a habit could save your life.
Every Breath You Take
Breathe The Right Way
We
all tend to breathe in a very shallow fashion, which is not healthy.
Breathing deeply introduces fresh oxygen into the lungs and stimulates
the lymphatic system, which is essential for detoxification.
Sit
up straight and inhale a deep breath through your nose. Exhale slowly
through slightly parted lips. You should see your stomach expand when
you breathe in. After ten or fifteen deep breaths you will feel
refreshed and energized. Do this several times a day for best results.
Drink Water
Human
beings are between 70 and 75 percent water. If we do not keep ourselves
properly hydrated our cells, tissues and organs shrivel like grapes. We
should drink between 50 and 100 percent of our body weight in ounces of
water each day. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should drink
between 75 and 150 ounces of water each day, or in the range of 9 to 18
eight ounce glasses.
It is equally as important to drink the right
type of water. Tap water is polluted with chemicals and heavy metals,
and most bottled water is acidic and not very healthy. Distilled water
or reverse osmosis water has basic and essential minerals stripped away.
These are necessary to maintain an alkaline condition within the body.
The best water comes from a high-quality home water filtration system,
preferably one with an ionizer.
Exercise
Participating
in daily aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging, biking or hiking
helps your body use oxygen and remove toxins. Since the lymphatic system
does not have its own pump, it needs movement to circulate. Spending
just 15 minutes a day walking helps the lymphatic system do what it
needs.
The
best exercise for flushing the lymph is a rebounder, better known as a
mini trampoline. In just two minutes you can flush the entire lymphatic
system and triple the production of white blood cells. This is a fun and
practical way to boost immunity.
Alkaline Foods
If
you increase the amount of plant-based foods you are eating while
simultaneously cutting out processed foods and lowering consumption of
animal-based foods, your body will lean towards alkalinity.
Eat
more dark and leafy green vegetables including kale, spinach, Swiss
chard, sprouts and mustard greens. You can also take organic green
supplements that contain chlorella, barley grass, alfalfa grass and
spirulina. All of these have an alkalizing effect on the body.
