Oxygen obsession in society leads to the concept of conscious breathing, which focuses on increasing carbon dioxide tolerance rather than oxygen intake. Our limited oxygen reserves, in contrast to fat, water, and carbohydrates, suggest the toxic nature of oxygen. This is evident in how oxygen exposure turns food brown and leads to the formation of free radicals in our bodies. While free radicals are essential for the immune system, an excessive amount can lead to inflammation and various health issues. The increase in inflammation is associated with symptoms and diseases, making oxygen the main creator of these free radicals. Excessive oxygen intake leads to oxidative stress, which can have detrimental long-term effects on health.
