Hey there, viewers!
Do you know about blood oxygen levels?
It’s very important.
Just a slight drop in your blood oxygen can
have some severe effects on your health.
In really extreme cases, it could be a matter
between life and death.
But can you increase your blood oxygen levels
naturally?
Let’s find out!
In today’s video, we’ll be discussing
ways to increase your blood oxygen levels
naturally.
Can sitting up or standing up straight help?
What impact does coughing have on your oxygen
levels?
Is hydrating helpful?
We’ll be talking about all of these AND
more…
The first piece of advice comes from conventional
wisdom.
You may have heard some people recommend sitting
or standing up straight.
Is it really helpful?
Turns out, yes!
One of the ways you can boost your blood oxygen
levels are sitting up straight.
When you hunch down while sitting, it puts
pressure on your lungs.
This, in turn, makes it difficult for you
to breathe.
The same is the case with standing up straight.
Keeping your back straight will make sure
your blood oxygen levels are at their best
level.
This is better than laying down, which also
puts pressure on the lungs.
If sitting or standing up straight helps your
lungs breathe better, can coughing also help?
It does seem strange, but coughing can also
help increase your blood oxygen levels.
This, of course, doesn’t mean going around
coughing.
It can only be helpful when you’re suffering
from cold or flu.
When you have any of these conditions, it
can become difficult to breathe.
As such, the oxygen levels in your blood can
go down significantly.
But when you cough in these situations, you’ll
be able to clear your airways.
Clearer airways will help you breathe easier.
Also, coughing loosens your secretions, which
also lends to this.
Being able to breathe freely leads to your
blood oxygen levels getting a much-needed
boost.
So coughing and standing up straight helped
you breathe better.
What if you stepped out to get some fresh
air?
Will that help spike your blood oxygen levels?
Experts say yes!
One of the most common suggestions given to
people who don’t feel well is stepping out
for some fresh air.
It’s certainly helpful to your overall health,
and also helps clear up your mind and boost
your mood.
Additionally, taking a stroll outdoors can
also, help your blood oxygen levels.
When you step outside, you’ll be able to
breathe fresh air into your lungs.
Compared to the recycled air indoors, fresh
air usually has a lot more oxygen.
Of course, you should only do this if you’re
living in an area where the pollution levels
are reasonably low.
Otherwise, it may do more harm than good.
Also, if the temperature outside is too cold
or even too hot, it may affect your breathing.
However, if the temperature is pleasant and
the air is low in pollution, making it a point
to step outside once a day.
It may sound weird to you.
But drinking water really – like really–
helps your blood oxygen levels.
One of the most important parts of being in
good health is making sure you remain hydrated
at all times.
If you don’t drink enough water every day,
you’re bound to face a lot of health issues.
Those health issues can include a decrease
in blood oxygen.
When your lungs are properly hydrated, they’re
able to move oxygen through your bloodstream
in a much more efficient manner compared to
when you don’t drink water often.
So, drink water regularly if you want to make
sure your blood oxygen levels are healthy.
Drinking water- check
Stepping outdoors- check
Standing or sitting up straight- check
What about deep breaths?
Sounds legit, right?
You draw lots of air into your lungs.
Logically, deep breaths should help spike
your blood oxygen.
Well, good news…
They do!
Sometimes, the pace we move each day can affect
We as well.
There’s always something to do, and you
may not be taking a moment to catch your breath.
That could be a problem when it comes to your
blood oxygen.
Because you’re always in a rush, you tend
to breathe a lot faster, but only draw in
very small breaths.
Instead, you need to take deep breaths and
take them slowly.
This will increase the amount of air that
gets into your lungs.
As a result, you will need to take a few moments
out of your busy schedule every now and then
to take short, deep breaths to increase the
the flow of oxygen in your blood.
If deep breathing helps, so should breathing
exercises!
Nearly every aspect of your health can be
improved by doing various exercises.
If you want to target something specific,
there are specific workouts that can help
you achieve your goals.
Boosting your blood oxygen levels naturally
is no different.
Breathing exercises can help build up the
the capacity of your lungs.
By doing so, you’ll be able to get more
oxygen in your bloodstream and increase blood
oxygen levels.
You will, of course, need to do the exercises
regularly if you want to see a big
difference.
You should make it a part of your morning
and evening routines so that you don’t forget.
Do you sit in one place for a while?
Well, it isn’t doing your blood oxygen levels
any good!
Many of us have an 8-hour job that requires
us to sit in one place.
It’s no wonder that most people remain inactive
for a major chunk of the day.
Combine that with 8 hours of sleeping and
you have a 16-hour period where you don’t
move all that much.
That’s not good for your blood oxygen levels.
The body takes it as a sign that you don’t
need much oxygen.
So, you should do some form of physical activity
every now and then that forces your breathing
to accelerate.
Also, when you accelerate your breathing,
you’re able to take in a lot more oxygen.
More importantly, physical activity keeps
your lungs are in peak condition.
You should make sure you don’t remain in
one sitting position for too long.
You probably already know how dangerous smoking
is for your health.
Turns out it’s even harmful to your blood
oxygen levels.
You have to quit smoking if you want your
blood oxygen levels to stay healthy for the
long run.
One of the worst things you can do to your
blood oxygen levels are smoke tobacco.
You’re probably already aware of all the
other health issues cigarette smoke is responsible
for.
When you quit smoking, it doesn’t take a
long time for you to see the changes in your
lung capacity.
You will see that your lungs are a lot healthier.
As a result, you will breathe in a lot more
oxygen and boost your blood oxygen levels.
Can’t step outdoors in the fresh air?
Why not bring the outdoor fresh air into your
home?
We all know plants and trees are our greatest
source of oxygen.
They take the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
and convert it into oxygen for us to breathe.
It’s only natural to assume that house plants
can help your blood oxygen levels.
When you get indoor plants and place them
around the house, they help purify the air
inside.
This way, the air won’t remain stale and
you can still breathe while indoors.
It won’t be the same as going outside, but
it will be a healthy alternative.
So far we talked about several THINGS you
can do to help elevate your blood oxygen levels.
But are there any foods you can eat to feel
better?
The answer is yes!
You can eat foods rich in iron to elevate
your blood oxygen.
One of the most important things red blood
cells need to function in iron.
As such, you must include
iron-rich foods in your regular diet.
When they get enough iron, your red blood
cells will function at the optimal level.
With your red blood cells functioning properly,
they will be able to distribute more oxygen
through the bloodstream.
This way, you can boost your blood oxygen
levels.
Many foods are rich in iron
you can add to your diet.
Spinach and legumes are some of the best sources.
Red meat is also quite high in iron.
If you like seafood, you should have shellfish
regularly to improve your levels.
Your body works to keep you alive in a variety
of ways.
There are so many things you can do to improve
your health, and stay alive longer.
