Metabolism is defined as taking food and converting it to energy. Our bodies need oxygen on a moment to moment basis. They will begin to rapidly deteriorate without adequate supply. Efficiency of oxygen conversion into cellular energy is a key to the use of its energy; therefore oxygen has in effect its own metabolism. Oxygen is a lot like food. Improving oxygen intake, uptake, and assimilation is critical to the bodys energy and as an inhibitor to disease and decay.
