HOW TO FLUSH YOUR BODY WITH OXYGEN
IN HIS IMAGE
Air

• breathe correctly
• pause frequently to take a slow, deep breath
• exercise - activity opens up blood vessels and
  speeds those oxygen
• laden red blood cells on their rounds
• wear proper clothing to not restrict your
  breathing
• sit properly
• keep your house well ventilated
• dont eat high-fat meals (this reduces your
  bloods ability to carry oxygen)
• include house plants indoors (at least 1 plant
  per every 100 SF floor plan)
