The focus is primarily because oxygen-deprivation at the cellular level can lead to serious imbalances in the body—and even cellular death or mutation. read more
From my experience, what makes the difference in water absorption and oxygen utilization is more about the structure of the water and what is NOT in it (i.e., chemicals and other contaminants). What is important is the cleanliness of the water, the alkaline mineral content, as well as the clustering of water molecules. read more
The oxygen that fish breathe is not the oxygen in H2O. Instead, the fish are breathing O2 (oxygen gas) that is dissolved in the water. Many different gases dissolve in liquids, and we see an example all the time in carbonated beverages. read more
It’s true that we need oxygen to live, and when we breathe heavily during exercise, it’s to take in more oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide (CO 2). Almost of the oxygen the blood carries is bound to hemoglobin. There’s a small amount of oxygen that’s dissolved in the plasma. When we exercise, the amount of oxygen in the blood decreases only slightly, from nearly 100% saturation to around 90%. read more
