According a study
published in the American Journal of Physiology, cited by sciencedaily.com, hyperbaric
oxygen therapy can help combat the formation of wrinkles by reducing tissue
damage done by sun rays.
Here are some
facts one may want to know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and what it can do
to your skin and body.
*
Increases collagen and elastin production
*
Increases antioxidant production
*
Enhances the bodies immune system and ability to fight infection
*
Detoxifies the body (side effects from air pollution, toxic food etc.)
*
Removes free radicals
*
Reduces swelling
*
Acts as an anti-inflammatory
*
Increases neuronal energy metabolism in the brain
*
Can improve concentration and cognitive function
*
Wakes up sleeping (idling) brain cells that are metabolizing enough to stay
alive.
HBOT Keeps Both the Body and Mind
Young
Deep wrinkles,
liver spots and sagging skin are unaesthetic and can affect our self-esteem.
But, aging goes beyond wrinkles and fine lines. It also refers to a healthy
body and mind.
HBOT for Premature Aging:
According to
scientists, the chromosomes in our cells constantly shorten each time the cell
divides. Eventually, they can’t shorten any further, so they stop dividing.
When this happens, the cells become latent and die.
That’s what
happens when our cells deteriorate at a normal rate. In premature aging, the
life span of your cells is shortened due to factors such as stress, poor
nutrition, alcohol, tobacco, and drug use.
These factors
hurt the body over time. Wounds in the brain, in particular, are shown in PET
scans as areas of low blood flow and low oxygenation. These wounds cause a
decrease in neurological function, which can lead to the premature aging
diagnosis called dementia.
Reversing
these wounds means reversing premature aging and prolonging longevity. When
HBOT is inhaled, oxygen is dissolved and forced deep into the tissues. The
process pushes oxygen beyond the red blood cells and into the blood plasma,
lymph, and interstitial fluid. As a result, HBOT allows oxygen to reach areas
where the circulation is usually blocked or diminished. Now, the oxygen-rich
blood can get to damaged tissues, letting the body jumpstart the healing
process.
Studies have shown that chronic
brain wounds respond well to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In fact, scientists
have demonstrated in the past 30 years that premature aging wounds can be
repaired, and neurological, cognitive, and emotional behavior can be improved
significantly.
HBOT for Normal Aging:
It’s hard to
talk about normal aging in a world where our body and mind are subject to
various stressors every second of the day. From air pollution, unhealthy
lifestyle and food additives to the stress of everyday life, you could argue
that we all age prematurely.
HBOT can help
fight even the first signs of aging. According to one study, regular hyperbaric
oxygen therapy in stroke patients resulted in a drop of recurrent cases of
strokes. That is because pure oxygen promotes the growth of new blood vessels
and stimulates angiogenesis. More than that, it has been demonstrated that HBOT
cause stems cell release from our bone marrow into our blood circulation.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy gives our body what it needs most: Oxygen.
There was a
time when being old was in vogue. Our Founding Fathers use to powder their wigs
gray to appear older and wiser. Nowadays, the race is on to remain forever
young. While most people try to turn back the clock by using expensive creams
and procedures, without anything to show for, there is an option that can
reduce the signs of aging – Hyperbaric
Oxygen Therapy
A lack of
oxygen can decrease blood flow, damage tissue, cause brain wounds and affect
the memory. More than that, it can cause our skin to lose its vitality and
elasticity. HBOT bathes the cells in pure oxygen, stimulating healing and
recovery, and improving the quality of the skin.
When you begin
to add the numerous benefits hyperbaric oxygen therapy have on your health and
combine them with the impact it has in stimulating collagen production and
improve skin elasticity, it is clear that HBOT, in fact, have anti-aging
properties.
