First off, I am going to explain the physio-pathological process: when we breath, the air that reaches the alveoli in our lungs contains 72% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and other gases. A gas exchange from oxygen to carbonic gas then occurs Inside the alveoli, and this process comes from cellular metabolism. The nitrogen keeps the alveolus distended to facilitate this exchange.
Once the oxygen is in the blood, it is carried by the red blood cells to all the cells in the body and at the same time it also carries back the CO2 obtained from the cells to the alveoli to repeat this cycle. In this vital process, there are several factors involved, such as ventilatory the lungs' ventilatory capacity, the functioning of the circulatory system and the ideal quality and quantity of blood cells. These are very important aspects when talking about oxygenation of blood.
Among factors that can affect oxygenation we find blood sugar levels, cholesterol and triglycerides.
Another important aspect is that all of the organs of our body need oxygen to perform their functions, but especially the brain, the heart and kidneys are particularly susceptible to a lack of oxygen. That explains the presence of symptoms like dizziness, weakness, paleness, heart alterations and urinary disorders, symptoms that we need to watch for when we suspect there's an oxygen deficiency in our organism. With this brief information I am going to give you some natural suggestions for an ideal cellular oxygenation
First, regular exercise and sports keep an ideal lung elasticity; A balanced an healthy diet and a decrease in the consumption of harmful elements such as fats, processed foods, tobacco, coffee and alcohol, etc are all part of the therapeutic tools to be taken into consideration in the prevention and treatment of an oxygen
deficiency .
In other words, this disorder is known as anaemia, and of course, it is a topic that we are going to discuss more in depth on one of the next editions. Included in a natural treatment, we recommend some foods like spinach, beans, lentils and fruits like tomatoes, bananas and mangoes. Also the use of acupuncture and homeopathy have become important tools to treat this type of disorders in a natural way.
