A vital element
One of the most vital elements in keeping our health is oxygen which costs us nothing. Suppose we had to pay for the oxygen that we breathe in every second, then to live in this world to maintain our life, since birth till death, would have been a miserable one. We cannot just imagine. Isn’t it? By the grace of Allah, we do not have to put in any effort form our side to get oxygen as it is freely available in the air. While we breathe we take in the fresh oxygen into our lungs and distribute it to the whole body and disperse out carbon dioxide.
The oxygen is very important to the cells of our body. The lungs which have about 75,00,00,000 air sacs or cells through which the oxygen passes to get into the blood stream at any given second one quarter of the blood contained in the human body (the average individual carries about six quarters). The transportation system is arranged in such a way that it carries the element to the entire cells of our body. For example, if we could stretch these tiny air sacs, from one of the pairs of the lung to a plain surface, they could cover an area of 455 sq. blood passes over the surface area of the lungs to give out the carbon dioxide gas that is carrying the blood then takes in oxygen from the air breath for the return circuit back to the cells. The cells which have the actual job of transporting the oxygen through the body are the Red Blood Cell (RBC), which there are about two hundred and fifty million for every drop of blood. Strenuous, are the work performed by these cells and each cell will live only about 120 days.
Daily twelve million cells must be produced every second. It is interesting to note that the cells which are more sensitive are the cells of the brain which will affect immediately due to lack of oxygen. A good and healthy brain is something everyone needs. Man will lose every control of the very essence of life without a good clear brain and stable emotion.
Electrifying the system
The brain is the electric dynamo of the body which can measure its electrical currents. Medical science can detect disturbances in the electrical flow of the brain and thereby locate brain tumours and scar tissues. Human experiments have shown what happens when the oxygen in the air that we breathe is reduced; it will first affect the higher centre of the brain. Reasoning: will power judgement is impaired when oxygen intake is lacking. Dr.Samson Wright says, “when the oxygen supplied to the body is reduced gradually, the intellect and senses become dull without the person being subjectively aware of what has happened”. Dr.Joseph Bamcrat of Cambridge University made these observations of an individual’s mental attitude when the amount of oxygen to the brain is not sufficient – a tendency to impatience and irritability. Dr.John Haldane of Oxford University discovered that: A man’s judgement and memory were impaired when the oxygen fed to the brain was not sufficient so even ordinary questions asked and its answers will be stupidity. At the same time, the individual is most confident that he is in full possession of all his abilities. In fact it will damage the smooth functioning of nervous System and brain as well as affecting the full control of our emotions unless we maintain high electrical energy of the brain cells by taking plenty of fresh air.
Keep in mind that to maintain a good brain and to have best of your health , take time to breathe deeply every day as much as possible.
Breathing Exercises
Deep breathing is also a mean of attaining a feeling of well-being.
Fifteen deep breathes slowly through the nose while sitting or standing
While breathing out you should sometimes try to blow the air through the mouth; this makes breathing exercise more effective. Please consult a yoga specialist before starting the breathing exercise.
