What Are Experts Saying About Oxygen?

Oxygen is the key to health and weight loss!

aerobic: increasing the efficiency of oxygen intake by the body -Webster Dictionary

Research continues to prove that increased oxygen consumption promotes overall health and increases metabolism resulting in burning extra fat stores. A common misconception is that the only way to increase oxygen consumption is to pound your body and work up a heavy sweat.

Check out what the experts are saying:

"Deep breathing techniques which increase oxygen to the cell are the most important factors in living a disease free and energetic life. . . . Remember. Where cells get enough oxygen, cancer will not, cannot occur."
--Dr. Otto Warburg, President, Institute of Cell Physiology, Nobel Prize Winner (Dr. Warburg is the only person to ever win the Nobel Prize twice in medicine and he was nominated for a third.)

"According to scientists, extra oxygen along with a cleansing diet can return balance to the body."
--Elizabeth Baker, The Unmedical Miracle: Oxygen. Drelwood Communications, p.80.

"Breathing correctly is the key to better fitness, muscle strength, stamina, and athletic endurance."
--Dr. Michael Yessis, Phd., President Sports Training Institute, Fitness Writer - Muscle and Fitness Magazine

"Oxygenation through deep breathing boosts the immune system and can rid the body of chronic illnesses."
--Dr. Sheldon Hendler, MD, Medical Researcher Cell Oxygenation, Author "The Oxygen Breakthrough"

"When you breathe and take in oxygen, the fat molecules are combined with the additional oxygen atoms causing oxidation. The products are carbon dioxide and water."
--A. Carlson, et.al. The Machinery of the Body, University of Chicago Press, p. 361

"When the body is totally deprived of food, the metabolism slows and life can be sustained for several weeks. However, when the body is totally deprived of oxygen, metabolism comes to a halt immediately and life can only be sustained for a few minutes. Does it not make common sense that the way we breathe day-to-day has the most dramatic effect on our body's health and metabolism than any other single process?"
--Jill R. Johnson, Author "The Oxycise! System"

"All body functions are breathing related. Proper oxygen delivery to all parts of your body is crucial to health and well-being. Aerobic exercise increases the body’s available oxygen and therefore promotes wellness. Delivering oxygen to the body is the responsibility of the respiratory system. Breathing is the process by which air enters the bloodstream, via the lungs. Thus, proper breathing, and correcting common breathing disorders, is the ultimate form of aerobics."
--Dr. Robert Fried, Breath Connection, Insight Books, 1990, p. 52

"Oxygen tension in tissues enhances the action of some antibiotics — notably amino-glycosides — and the immune system, and stimulates cellular metabolism."
--Linda Collison, Hyperbarics: when pressuring patients helps, Health Index

"Deep diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the cleansing of the lymph system by creating a vacuum effect which pulls the lymph through the bloodstream. This increases the rate of toxic elimination by as much as 15 times the normal rate."
--Dr. J.W. Shields, MD, Lymph, lymph glands, and homeostasis. Lymphology, v25, n4, Dec. 1992, p. 147

"Oxygen plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the immune system. We can look at oxygen deficiency as the single greatest cause of all diseases."
--Stephen Levine, a respected molecular biologist and geneticist, and Dr. Paris M. Kidd, Ph.D., Antioxidant Adaptation

"The molecules of fats are made up of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When those molecules are combined with additional oxygen atoms (oxidation) the products are carbon dioxide (made up of atoms of oxygen and carbon) and water (made up of atoms of oxygen and hydrogen.)"
--Isaac Asimov, On the Human Body, Bonanza Books, p. 246

"Oxidation of fat. — Fats, especially as fatty acids, are burned to carbon dioxide and water. Through this combustion, energy crucial to cellular work is released from the cleaved bonds, which before oxidation held tightly together the atoms of the fat molecule. The general reaction indicating combustion of fat is:

Fat + O2 =CO2 + H20 + Energy

As in all cellular combustion, oxidative enzymes are required as catalysts in this process.

"One of the most fascinating advances of recent years in the field of body metabolism has been the detailed description of the intricate, stepwise mechanism by which long chain fatty acid molecules are successively reduced to smaller units. These small, two-carbon products which breakdown from much longer fatty acid chains are eventually oxidized to carbon dioxide and water by the same important chemical route which oxidizes the products of carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism."
--A. Carlson, et. al. The Machinery of the Body, University of Chicago Press, p. 361

"Carbon dioxide is the most abundant of all the end-products of metabolism."
--Arthur C. Guyton, M.D., Textbook of Medical Physiology, W.B. Saunders Company, p. 4

What Can Oxygen Do for You?

The Power of Oxygen

Are you overweight, sleep deprived, depressed, or stressed?

Do you have problems losing weight or keeping the weight off? Do you have trouble sleeping through the night? Do you suffer with depression, anxiety, arthritis, high cholesterol, head aches, back pains, fibromyalgia, chronic sleeping problems, heart health/problems, energy deprivation?

Have you ever tried an herbal remedy? Wished there was a natural way to heal your body? A natural way to rid your body of fat? Without machines, expensive gyms, and pounding and jarring your bones? With all the technology in the world, why is the solution to health and weight loss still a secret? What don’t they want you to know and why aren’t they telling you?

Jill Johnson, an expert in health and fitness, wants to let you in on a little secret. You can lose weight and inches without paying monthly gym fees, you can lose weight without buying fancy machines. You can lose weight without pounding or jarring any bones in your body. How?

“It’s simple,” Jill says,

“The secret is OXYGEN!”

Now, take a moment and think through your latest exercise class. What did they say over and over? That’s right, breathe! That’s because they know you cannot get in shape or get a proper workout without the right amounts of oxygen. Yet, when you’re sitting in the back of the class attempting to bend your leg over your head, is breathing the first thing on your mind?

It should be! That’s why Oxycise! Is focused around the breathing and created specific isotonic and isometric positions to maximize oxygen intake.

Sue Madal, an ACE certified fitness instructor who has taught up to 9 classes a week for over 12 years, states, “In traditional aerobic classes, you don't even start burning fat until about 12 minutes into the workout because you are increasing your oxygen intake at a very slow pace initially. And many people work at a much higher level than they should and end up working anaerobically, thus causing a shortage of oxygen and consequently not burning fat. "Aerobic" means "with oxygen" and in order to burn fat, a lot of oxygen must be present. When done properly, the Oxycise! breathing technique forces much more oxygen into the body than jumping around on steps, or floors.

“Oxycise! energizes me much more than all those aerobic classes did. Oxycise! is the only aerobic exercise I have been doing for the past two years. My muscle tone is coming back strong and I just feel great. I never want to lose this feeling and even when I was going to a gym working out 1.5 hours a day for 4 days a week I didn't get these results. And this is just working out 20 minutes a day. Just amazing. Love it.

Sue continues, "If this program didn't work, I would have gone back to traditional aerobics a long time ago. Doing Oxycise! keeps me in good shape and allows me to be there for my family. They are the most important thing in my life right now and I am glad I don't have to run off to the gym several times a week to work out. This program has been the greatest thing that has happened to me in the way of fitness since 'sliced (whole wheat) bread'..."

Jill has devoted her career to helping people discover how to breathe. “Why?” You may ask, while thinking to yourself, “I already know how to breathe, what a waste of time and money…” Or is it?

Did you know we only use 20% of our lung capacity? Do you wonder what difference using that 80% could make? Jill’s research on breathing patterns and weight loss proves that by using the full capacity of our lungs we unlock our body’s natural ability to lose weight.

A California University performed a study comparing the caloric expenditure of Oxycise! to that of riding a stationary bicycle. The results were dramatic. Oxycise! was found to raise the metabolic rate to approximately four times the resting rate!

In addition to an increased metabolism, Oxycise! burns 140% more calories than traditional exercise.

The research backs it up; the studies back it up; but what do Oxycisers! say about Jill’s program? The love and gratitude thousands of people have for Oxycise! is incredible.

“What Oxycise! has done to my life, you can't put a price tag on. This company really cares about educating me for LIFE!” – Trish Whinery

Sweet Dreams - Sleep Better Than Ever Before

I've already pointed out that oxygen gives you more energy. I've really put this one to the test, not purosely, but I did.

I hate to admit it,

but I had not been doing my Oxycise! regularly as I should have.

Well, last week I decided I was going to buckle down

I did Oxycise everyday at 4:15 PM

for 15 minutes.

Do you know what increasing my oxygen intake

for only 15 minutes/day

did for me?

No more...

I don't ask my husband to bring me water

I don't ask my husband to pick things up

I don't ask my husband to do the dishes

while I'm sitting on the couch

I do it all myself

Why?

I want to

I feel better

I have more energy

I'm happier

Who really benefits?

My husband ;)

On to the benefit of the day...

YOU WILL SLEEP BETTER!!!!

Increased oxygen literally

LESSENS CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME AND GIVES YOU BETTER SLEEP PATTERNS

In addition to doing everything for myself during the day,

and feeling more energized...

I get better rest at night.

I'm sleeping through the whole night...

something I was not doing last month.

I wake up feeling refreshed

No more grogginess in the mornings

I'm happier

I'm easier-going

I don't get headaches like I used to

I love more

People notice.

Do you ever have headaches or migraines that just won't go away????

Breathe more.

Increased oxygen also

PROVIDES A NATURAL REMEDY FOR HEADACHES, MIGRAINES AND HANGOVERS

Ahhhhhhhhhh,

Sweet Dreams.

Energy Comes from Oxygen

Did you know?

90% OF OUR ENERGY COMES FROM OXYGEN, AND ONLY 10% FROM FOOD AND WATER

Have you ever had an energy drink? 

Swallowed energy pills? 

Done anything involving food and drink to get energized? 

Well, guess what? Now you have the secret to more energy! It's not the pills nor the drinks! The secret is actually free ------ OXYGEN!

How interesting to note that the energy received from food and drink is only 10% of the energy we really could give ourselves through increasing oxygen. Click here for more reasons why Oxycise will change your life. 

How do you increase your oxygen intake? Simple. Breathe a little deeper. Take a minute right now and just take a few deep breaths. Take some big deep belly breaths.

The reason we yawn is because our body is calling for more oxygen. Odds are, you're yawning while reading this because you're in a relaxed state and you're not bringing enough oxygen in to keep your body and mind energized. So, don't be shy, breathe in deeply and feel your abdomen expand as you fill your lungs with some of that great energizing oxygen. 

In addition to the energy, it only make sense that more oxygen will also boost your metabolism 90% better than food and drink. How long can you go without food? Without water? Now, how long can you go without oxygen? That's right, oxygen has a more dramatic effect upon your metabolism than anything else. So get breathing, feel better, and get more energized!

For more tips on breathing check out our introductory DVD, which delves deep and teaches you really precise breathing techniques which are proven to boost your metabolism and help you lose the weight you hate. 

Does oxygen burn fat? YES.

I get so excited when I see good articles educating people on the benefits of oxygen. It is fantastic that the word is spreading about the usefulness and incredibility of oxygen. Increasing your oxygen right now is probably one of the healthiest things to do. Go ahead and take some deep belly breaths right now, you'll feel better, I promise.

This is an article by Baldwin about burning fat with oxygen. Just check out what he found in all of his research on the topic.

"Sure, you know how to breathe...or do you? And do you know what breathing can do for you...beyond keeping you alive, that is? Did you know that breathing properly can help you burn fat even better than some exercises? In fact, studies by a California university have shown that simply deep breathing can help burn up to 140% more calories than riding an Exercycle.

Obviously, oxygen is important for life, and I think we can all agree that it would seem reasonable to assume that it has a great deal of importance for health, fitness, and weight loss. Not as obvious is that several factors have made our attention to oxygen even more important in the last few years. Studies show that the level of oxygen in the air we breathe is diminishing due to pollution and climate shifts.

Not only is the level of available oxygen diminishing, but due to the stresses of modern life and lack of physical activity, modern Americans breathe shallowly and process oxygen less efficiently. Most of us have never been shown how to breathe properly, and we are poorly able to take in and process the oxygen that can contribute to a successful weight loss program.

Oxygen, when used effectively, can increase metabolism, flush fat-trapping toxins from the body, and increase energy, decrease fatigue, and encourage a healthy lifestyle which can lead to a multi-level attack on fat in the body.

Oxygen is required by our intestines to help effectively process and absorb nutrients. In fact, this area requires more oxygen than most other tissue. When the oxygen supply is diminished, as is the case with most shallow-breathing Americans, this ability to absorb and process nutrients can drop almost 75%, according to research by the University of Edinburgh.

As expected, increasing oxygen availability increases the intestines' ability to to process nutrients. Surprisingly, this change can begin to occur within a matter of minutes.

To dispose of fat already stored within the body, this fat must be combined with oxygen to help burn it. Research has shown that a large percentage of Americans use less than 25% of their lungs' capacity. Merely increasing oxygen intake through proper breathing can increase the body's ability to burn fat by 100% or more.

The process by which the body loses weight and creates energy depends on a substance called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). By oxygenating body cells through effective breathing produces an environment which encourages production of this substance.

Cortisol and insulin are also produced within the body. In a normal situation these chemicals have beneficial purposes, however, modern stress can cause over-production of these chemicals over extended periods of time. This leads to many destructive effects, one of which is the storage of fat. Proper breathing keeps the bloodstream oxygenated, reduces stress, and decreases cortisol production.

Another major function of the body is the removal of toxins. Modern day invaders such as food preservatives can cause the glands that regulate weight to become less effective. Even worse, one defense technique of the body is to form more fat in an effort to store those toxins. Well over half of these toxins can be converted into gases which can be expelled from the body. Studies by one California Clinic indicated proper breathing technique could increase the removal of these toxins by more than ten percent.

SO HOW DO YOU BREATHE FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND HEALTH?

First of all, regular (daily or almost daily), sustained activity, such as walking can, over time, guide your body to a deep breathing pattern which will eventually become almost second nature. By the way, strolling through the mall, stopping to look in windows or chat with acquaintances, has a place in a well-rounded life, but sustained activity means exactly that...sustained over periods of at least 20 minutes.

Yoga or Tai Chi are great examples of learning basic breathing techniques. In fact, the effects of these disciplines hinge to a great degree on the breathing techniques they teach. You can see why Oxycise! works so well for weight loss.

The simplest thing to do is simply start breathing properly. As an exercise, take a few minutes, standing or laying down. Feel your abdominal muscles stretch as you slowly and deeply "belly breathe" to bring large quantities of oxygen into your body. Hold that breath for a moment, tighten your abdominal muscles, and exhale through your mouth as if blowing up a balloon or through a straw.

The goal should be about 15 minutes of this a day, either in one period, or over several smaller periods throughout the day. Once comfortable with the technique (which may take a few days) you can do this laying in bed (great relaxer at bedtime or energizer upon awakening), while driving, sitting at a desk, or standing at a cash register. They can be done almost anywhere, anytime."
