Respiration encompasses a lot more than simple breathing in and out. Factors that are important to proper oxygen delivery to your cells include; having clean air to breathe, optimal lung capacity and health of lung tissues, healthy blood with optimized oxygen carrying capacity, a healthy cardiovascular system to move that blood around your body with ease, and efficient oxygen utilization of your body’s tissues and organs. Because of these factors and more, you can see how each of the essentials overlap each other, explaining why the modern medicine mechanistic approach often turns up inadequate in fixing problems in disease let alone attaining optimal health in wellness. A vitalistic approach to health in both wellness and recovery continues to prove itself more effective outside of emergency situations.
