1 \u2013 Oxygen is the most vital nutrient for the human body. You can survive several weeks without food , several days without water , but you cannot survive more than a few minutes without oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 \u2013 It is a simple and indisputable fact \u2013 oxygen is necessary to sustain life. Oxygen is the miraculous element that permits life to exist and flourish on earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 \u2013 Your body needs oxygen to be able to : Create energy , Digest food , Metabolize fat , Metabolize Carbohydrates , Transport Gases Across Cell Membranes , Manufacture hormones , proteins and other chemicals , Regulate pH , Incite the body to breathe , Clean and detoxify toxins , Eradicate virus , amoeba , parasites , fungus or bacteria , And much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 \u2013 After exercising , the body requires additional oxygen to return to its normal state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5 \u2013 The bright red color of your blood is because of the oxygen attached to your red blood cells. After those red blood cells have released their oxygen and picked up carbon dioxide (CO2) you blood turns a dark red color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6 \u2013 The process of oxygen combining with other atoms to make compounds is called oxidation. Oxygen is highly oxidizing. It readily accepts electrons from other substances during reactions. Through normal oxidation (the chemical union of an element with oxygen , such as what occurs during digestion , burning , or rusting), Oxygen reacts releasing heat in the reaction process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7 \u2013 Oxygen does not burn \u2013 It does , however , support the combustion of other substances. If oxygen itself actually burnt , striking a match would be enough to burn all of the oxygen in our planet\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8 \u2013 Oxygen nourishes the cells. Our cells are energized by oxygen. It regulates all the functions of the body. Our ability to talk , sleep , eat , move , feel , and think are all dependent on the energy that is generated by oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9 \u2013 All animals need oxygen to stay alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10 \u2013 Oxygen is the most incredible bacterial and virus killing agent. Virus , amoeba , parasite , fungus or bacteria that cause disease. But none of these hostile organisms can live in an environment with high concentrations of oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11 \u2013 Oxygen dissolves in water. Aquatic organisms depend on dissolved oxygen for their survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
12 \u2013 Oxygen is about two times more soluble in water than nitrogen is. If it had the same solubility as nitrogen , much less oxygen would be present in seas , lakes and rivers , making life much more difficult for living organisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13 \u2013 Oxygen dissolves in cool water easier than in warm water. The World\u2019s oceans carry dissolved oxygen that supports life. The polar oceans , being coolest , hold more dissolved oxygen and therefore sustain vast amounts of aquatic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
