What is Oxygen Therapy and Its Benefits

The air we breathe contains oxygen that is very important for the normal functioning of our body. It is by breathing that the oxygen enters the lungs, where the gas exchanges happen, that is, the oxygen is “changed” by carbon dioxide. When we fill the chest with air, oxygen enters the lungs and from there it is carried by the blood to all our organs, muscles and tissues.

As we release the air from the lungs, the carbon dioxide which was inside the lungs leaves being eliminated into the ambient air. The elimination of carbon dioxide by aspiration is very important for the body. It is produced during normal body metabolism but needs to leave quickly because it is toxic. The oxygen that comes in is beneficial to the organism, because we depend on it to live and produce energy, for example, to walk, run, think, and so on.

In chronic lung disease, sometimes the lungs are no longer able to perform normal gas exchange, and oxygen may be lacking at normal levels in the blood, which causes the body to become sick and grow older more quickly.
