Breathing deeply brings oxygen to the organs and cells of the body. Oxygen fights disease, and aids in the healing process of repairing damaged skin. Oxygen reduces stress responses in the body, fatigue, anxiety and other health problems. It increases clear thinking and decision making.

Oxygen calms the central nervous system and helps you drift off into a peaceful sleep. Oxygen also increases the metabolism and helps the body to burn fat. Oxygen develops a healthy mind and body.
