11 Warning Signs That You Have Low Levels Of Oxygen In Your Blood.
When we breathe in through our lungs, we take in oxygen from the air in order to keep us
alive.
Oxygen is passed into your red blood cells, so that it can be circulated through to your
internal organs, tissues, muscles and cells.
This allows your cells to make energy in a natural and healthy way.
Unfortunately many people suffer with low levels of oxygen in their blood because of
underlying health problems such as COPD, anaemia or nutrient deficiencies.
Not having enough oxygen in your blood is called hypoxemia and can lead to complications
with the heart, liver and brain over time.
So in today's video I'm going to share with you the top 11 warning signs that you have
low levels of oxygen in your blood.
I will also share some simple remedies and nutrition tips to help boost oxygen in your
blood if you have any of these symptoms.
Signs Of Low Blood Oxygen Levels
1.
Dizziness & Weakness One of the most common signs of low blood
oxygen is a feeling of dizziness and weakness when you perform light activity such as walking
or standing up.
You may feel off balanced, and may notice your vision blacking out for a moment or two.
This happens when oxygen isn't reaching your muscles properly.
2.
Air Hunger Low oxygen levels means that your body craves
more air, making you feel short of breath often.
You will sigh frequently through the day, because you are experiencing something called
"air hunger".
This is common when the blood has an acidic Ph, which stops oxygen moving freely around
the body.
3.
Fast Heart Beat The heart works harder to pump oxygen and
blood around the body when their isn't enough oxygen present.
This can lead to a faster heart rate, feelings of anxiety and pounding in the chest.
4.
Heavy Legs If you climb stairs or walk up a slight hill
and start to become out of breath easily, then you are likely lacking oxygen in your
blood.
Your legs will feel very heavy, because not enough oxygen is reaching the muscles, making
them fatigue faster.
Vitamin C deficiencies are a common cause for this problem.
5.
Chronic Tiredness People who are lacking blood oxygen also tend
to feel tired and fatigued every day.
No amount of sleep seems to make you feel any better, making you crave sleep more than
the average person.
The muscles and brain tire faster because they aren't able to make enough ATP fuel,
which is triggered by oxygen.
6.
Regular Headaches Your brain needs a steady flow of oxygen to
function properly.
When your blood is low in oxygen however, it compensates by creating pressure and widening
it's blood vessels.
This can trigger painful headaches, migraines and cluster headaches on a regular basis.
7.
Chest Pain (Angina) People who are deficient in Vitamin E tend
to suffer with low blood oxygen levels.
This causes cramping of the muscles, especially the heart muscle.
8.
Can't Hold Breath If you can't hold your breath for more than
60 seconds, then it's very likely you are lacking oxygen in your blood.
This is commonly caused by a Vitamin C deficiency, because Vitamin C helps your body to hold
oxygen for longer and use it more effectively.
9.
Blue Tinge To Skin In some cases, you may develop a bluish color
or tinge on your skin.
This condition is called cyanosis and happens when not enough oxygen is reaching the tissues.
This is usually accompanied by shortness of breath.
If your lips suddenly turn blue, be sure to seek medical help immediately.
10.
Confusion If there isn't enough oxygen reaching your
brain you may feel confused, lethargic, tired and irritated.
A subclinical Vitamin B1 deficiency may be causing this problem and eating too many refined
foods and sugar.
11.
Abdominal Discomfort In extreme cases of low blood oxygen, you
may experience severe pain in your stomach and abdominal region after eating.
This is often followed by nausea and vomiting because not enough oxygen is reaching the
tissues in your digestive system.
If you experience some of these symptoms visit for your doctor for some simple tests to determine
your blood oxygen levels.
How Can I Boost My Oxygen Levels
If you do have low levels of oxygen in your blood, you will want to know what steps you
can take to improve these levels, in order to strengthen and heal your body.
1.
Cut out refined carbohydrates, sugars and flour based foods from your diet such as bread,
biscuits, pastries, crackers, cereals, sweets and soda drinks.
These contain empty calories which deplete your nutrient reserves, leading to low oxygen
levels in the blood.
2.
Start eating lots of none starchy leafy greens and Vitamin C rich foods such as kale, bell
peppers, parsley, chillies, sauerkraut, lemon juice, cabbage, cherries and broccoli.
These whole foods are rich in Vitamin C which strengthens your blood vessels for better
blood flow and oxygenation of your body.
Salad and vegetables are also packed full of alkaline minerals like potassium and magnesium
that keep your blood Ph.
In its normal range.
3.
Take long, gentle walks in nature at least 30-45 minutes each day.
Getting outside and performing low stress exercise, helps your lungs to push more oxygen
into your red blood cells, which then oxygenates the trillions of cells in your body.
Walking in nature also calms down stress hormones and improves your ability to store Vitamin
C.
4.
Consume shellfish at least 3 times per week such as oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp and
crab meat.
These are packed full of Vitamin B1, B12 and Iron which protects you against anaemia and
helps your blood to carry oxygen properly.
We also recommend grass fed and pasture raised beef and organ meats.
These are all blood building foods.
5.
If you have weak and tired muscles, consider taking a daily supplement of Vitamin E in
the form of annatto.
Also, eat natural foods rich in Vitamin E such as avocados, sunflower seeds, almonds,
Swiss chard and extra virgin olive oil.
Vitamin E improves lung function and oxygenation of the muscles and the heart.
6.
Last but not least, those with breathing difficulties, asthma, shortness of breath or weak lungs
may consider a daily Vitamin D supplement containing 10,000iu . This is the best nutrient
to bring down inflammation in the lungs for better breathing, along with zinc found in
the shellfish we mentioned earlier.
Following these steps will improve your body's ability to store oxygen and move it through
the blood to your trillions of cells.
This can help you to live a longer, healthier and more energetic lifestyle.
