BREATHING SYSTEM This is, of course, about the lungs which provide the body with air and remove gaseous substances, mainly carbon dioxide, that are products of matter transformation. Breathing, without question, is the most important physical practice for maintaining physical life. Without breathing life ceases within a few minutes. By contrast, most any human body might survive for months without consuming solid food and a week or more without taking liquid. Of course, many individuals might die more quickly if they do not have food and water due to their bad health, toxins, and, which is even more important, due to their fear and mistaken belief. Analysis of the human body shows that it consists of 65% oxygen, 18% carbon, 10% hydrogen, and 3% nitrogen. A total of 96% of the human body is made from these four elements, all of which are available in the air we breathe. One can also say that the body is about 70% water, since most of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are combined in this form of molecule. The other 4% of body mass consists of 37 trace minerals, all present in ocean water. If one felt it necessary he/she could take a sip each day or immerse themselves in ocean water where the minerals could be absorbed through the semipermeable membrane called skin. The lungs have another important task, it has been proven scientifically they produce proteins out of nitrogen we breathe in with air. A human breathes in 15-25 kilograms (33-55 lb.) of air daily (compare it to 2-3 kg (4.4-6.6 lb.) of food). Besides other gases, the air that we breathe contains nitrogen, which can be transformed into protein. But a few people know the fact that the body has a system of digestion of nitrogen from air, transforming it into protein. In the first part of the 20th century academician I.M. Sechenov noticed that arterial blood carried high level of nitrogen. That led to an assumption that it could be used by body for building itself. Later, M.I. Volskiy made a discovery proving that nitrogen from air transforms into protein of human body by means of bacteria that exist in upper air passages and large intestine. His computation shows that due to the difference in amount of nitrogen in arterial (1,6%) and venous blood (1,34%), the human body receives approximately 14,5 liters (3,83 gal.) of nitrogen, which is equal to 18 grams. This amount of nitrogen is enough to produce 112 grams of protein. American scientists E. Franzblau and K. Coppa also proved the fact that the body can absorb and transform the nitrogen directly for the air. Breathing exercises are beneficial for our health. Proper breathing is to charge the body with more life energy. These exercises, if properly done, have the power to heal the psyche and the body. Deep breathing produces real and sustained energy enhancement. Athletes, such as runners, swimmers, and bicyclists breathe deeply for sustenance; they do not eat while performing. Chronically insufficient oxygen intake, whether from shallow breathing, polluted air, or physical impairment reduces vitality, stresses the human body, weakens defense mechanisms, and ultimately shortens life span. The average human utilizes perhaps 25% of his/her potential lung capacity, thus robbing the body of vital oxygen. The oxygen, collected by the lungs passes through membranes into the miraculous blood system of veins and capillaries, to be distributed to every cell in the body. This same system removes the waste of depleted, replaced cells and carries it to the eliminative system. Human skin performs a similar function of respiration. 10
