Fresh Air
Video Notes
“A breath of fresh Air” is powerful medicine:
What is air?
Every cell in your body (30-40 trillion) requires a constant supply of oxygen to survive.
Our air is contaminated with a variety of elements:
The best air to breathe for optimal health is:
Atoms are made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons.
Negative oxygen ions tend to concentrate in “wild natural outdoor” areas, such as:
The number of negative oxygen ions in the “wild natural outdoors” is:
Negative oxygen ions are known as “Happy Ions” because they contribute to increased serotonin:
Breathing more “negative” oxygen ions makes you a more “positive” person.
People who breathe air with more negative oxygen ions:
People who breathe air with more positively charged ions have:
- Death: No Food x 8 weeks, No Water x 6 days, No Air x 4 minutes
- Health: Food: 2-3 meals/day + Water: 8-10 cups/day + Air: 20,000 breaths/day (14/min)
What is air?
- 21% Oxygen
- 79% Nitrogen
- 00.04% Carbon Dioxide
Every cell in your body (30-40 trillion) requires a constant supply of oxygen to survive.
Our air is contaminated with a variety of elements:
- Pollen
- Dust
- Molds
- Pollutants
The best air to breathe for optimal health is:
- Oxygen rich, negatively charged air.
Atoms are made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons.
- Atoms want to be neutral by having the same number of electrons as protons.
- A “charged” atom does not have an equal number of electrons as protons and is called an “ion.”
- Oxygen atoms have 2 “missing” electrons, so it is negatively charged (attracts electrons).
- Oxygen atoms are negative ions.
- Extra electrons in the air are most often attached to (shared with) oxygen. (H-O-H)
Negative oxygen ions tend to concentrate in “wild natural outdoor” areas, such as:
- Rivers
- Waterfalls
- Beaches
- Forests
- Lakes
- Mountains.
- Areas that have just been struck by lightning.
The number of negative oxygen ions in the “wild natural outdoors” is:
- Up to 10 times more than the number of negative oxygen ions indoors, such as: our homes, offices, stores, etc. (Where humans spend most of their time.)
Negative oxygen ions are known as “Happy Ions” because they contribute to increased serotonin:
- Better moods
- Better overall sense of wellbeing
- Feeling calm, refreshed, happy
Breathing more “negative” oxygen ions makes you a more “positive” person.
People who breathe air with more negative oxygen ions:
- Are less depressed
- Sleep better
- Have more energy
People who breathe air with more positively charged ions have:
- Higher levels of anxiety
- Higher levels of depression
How to Breathe more Air that has a Higher Concentration of Negative Oxygen Ions
Spend more time outdoors.
Intentionally and frequently (3 times/hour) take 5+ deep breaths, even when indoors.
When indoors, keep a window open to bring in the “happy oxygen ions,” especially while sleeping.
Step outside every hour or two for a literal “breather,” or go for a short (2-minute) walk.
On the weekend, go to the beach or mountains for some outdoor “re-creation.”
Grow a few plants indoors to manufacture your own clean, fresh, oxygen-rich air.
Develop a healthy, up-right posture and learn to breath “abdominally” (using your diaphragm, "belly breathing").
- Morning exercise
- Lunch breaks
- Evening relaxation
Intentionally and frequently (3 times/hour) take 5+ deep breaths, even when indoors.
- Increases blood oxygen levels
- Improves brain function
- Technique: Breathe in slowly (pause), Breathe out quickly (pause); Repeat x 5 every 20 minutes (while sedentary)
When indoors, keep a window open to bring in the “happy oxygen ions,” especially while sleeping.
Step outside every hour or two for a literal “breather,” or go for a short (2-minute) walk.
On the weekend, go to the beach or mountains for some outdoor “re-creation.”
Grow a few plants indoors to manufacture your own clean, fresh, oxygen-rich air.
- Evergreen plants with a large surface area of foliage are best.
- Such as: Ferns, Palms, Lilies (Do an Internet search for: big leaf house plants)
- Plants help reduce indoor contaminates. (formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, xylene, benzene)
Develop a healthy, up-right posture and learn to breath “abdominally” (using your diaphragm, "belly breathing").
In achieving your goal of living to 120, breathing clean fresh air is an important habit that you should make part of your healthy lifestyle.
