Breath Holding to Reduce Free Radicals and Oxidative Stress

Research is very clear that calorie restriction extends life span. But another nutrient many of us don’t frequently consider is oxygen. Just as excess calories can cause metabolic damage, excess oxygen can also prematurely damage your tissues through the generation of excess free radicals. These are highly reactive and destructive molecules that cause damage to the fats in your cell membranes, proteins, and your DNA. Free radicals are generated by the normal breakdown of oxygen during metabolism. We all create a certain amount of free radicals through the very act of breathing, and incorporating breathing exercises designed to maintain a healthy breathing volume seems to be an effective strategy to keep your oxygen at an optimum level, and thus minimize free radical damage.
