Unless fresh air in sufficient quantities reaches the lungs, the foul stream of venous blood cannot be purified and, consequently, not only is the body thus robbed of nourishment but the waste products which should have been destroyed are returned to the circulation and poison the system and death ensues.
Impure air acts in the same way, only in a lessened degree. If one does not breathe in a sufficient quantity of air, the work of the blood cannot continue at optimum level and the result is that the body is insufficiently nourished. Disease can then ensue or at the least a state of imperfect health i s experienced. The blood of one who breathes improperly is a bluish, dark colour, lacking the rich redness of pure arterial blood. This often shows itself in a poor complexion rather than a clear, bright complexion.
If the blood is not fully purified by t he regenerative process of the lungs, it returns to the arteries in an abnormal state, not only insufficiently purified but imperfectly cleansed of the impurities which it took up on its return journey. These impurities, if returned to the system, will certainly manifest in some sort of disease either in a form of blood disease or some other resulting from impaired functioning of some insufficiently nourished organ or tissue.
When the oxygen comes in contact with the blood, it unites with the haemoglobin of the blood and is carried to every cell, tissue, muscle and organ which it invigorates and strengthens, replacing the worn out cells and tissue by new materials which Nature converts to her use. Arterial blood, properly exposed to the air, contains about 25 per cent of free oxygen.
Not only is every part vitalised by the oxygen but the act of digestion depends materially upon a certain amount of oxygenation of our food. This can be accomplished only by the oxygen in the blood coming in contact with the food and producing a certain form of combustion. The entire body receives nourishment from the food assimilated and that imperfect assimilation always means an imperfectly nourished body. It is therefore necessary that a proper supply of oxygen be taken through the lungs.
Because this supply is not always as complete as it should be, this explains why conditions such as weak lungs and poor digestion are so often found together.
The lungs themselves are no different from any other organ in that they depend upon the same source for nourishment, and if through imperfect breathing the assimilation becomes imperfect and the lungs in turn become weakened, they are rendered still less able to perform their work properly and so in turn the body becomes further weakened. Every particle of food and drink must be oxygenated before it can yield us the proper nourishment and before the waste products of the system can be reduced to the proper condition to be eliminated from the system. Lack of sufficient oxygen means imperfect nutrition, imperfect elimination and imperfect health.
The combustion arising from the change in the waste products generates heat and equalises the temperature of the body. Good breathers are not apt to “take cold” and they generally have plenty of good warm blood which enables them to resist the changes in the other temperature.
The act of breathing also gives exercise to the internal organs and muscles. Imperfect or shallow breathing requires only a small portion of the lung cells to be called into action therefore a great portion of the lung capacity is idle causing the system to suffer in proportion to the amount of under-oxygenation.
Man’s only physical salvation is to “get back to Nature”.
