Three Essential Elements of Life: The Core Foundations of Health

I. Daily Required Intake of the Three Essential Elements

The human body has definite daily demand for the three elements, and deficiency of any one will directly impair health:

Air: 25 kg

Water: 2 kg

Food: 1 kg

Water is a colorless, odorless inorganic compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen. Known as the source of human life, it is the core survival resource for all living organisms and the most vital component of biological bodies. In China, freshwater resources are abundant in the south and scarce in the north. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project and water recycling have greatly alleviated water shortages in northern regions.

Food supplies energy to sustain life, mainly consisting of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and water, derived from plants, animals, fungi and other sources. Nowadays, most people in China have sufficient food supply; instead, excessive food intake leads to "affluent diseases".

Air is a transparent gas covering the Earth’s surface, primarily made up of nitrogen and oxygen. Oxygen, which humans rely on for respiration, is critical to survival and production.

II. The "Three Sixes" of Life: Oxygen Is the Top Priority

Under extreme conditions, the human body has vastly different tolerance levels for the three elements, with oxygen far more vital than water and food:

Without food: Survive for 6 weeks

Without water: Survive for 6 days

Without oxygen: Survive for only 6 minutes

These figures clearly demonstrate that the top priority for health is avoiding oxygen deficiency, followed by sufficient water intake, with food coming last.

III. Modern People Generally Suffer from Hypoxia, Living in a "Sub-Plateau State"

Affected by aging, environmental changes, illnesses and unhealthy lifestyles, modern people commonly experience hypoxia. Long-term oxygen deficiency alters organ functions and triggers various chronic diseases.

This issue is especially prominent for indoor office workers: indoor oxygen concentration is often below 20%, compared with the normal outdoor level of 20.9%. This equals long-term exposure to a sub-plateau environment, making efficient oxygen supplementation a new health trend.

IV. Scientific Oxygen Supplementation: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Is the Optimal Choice

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is currently the most scientific and efficient oxygen supplementation method, delivering deep oxygen replenishment through a combination of pressure and high-concentration oxygen.

Core Parameters

Chamber pressure: 1.1~1.3 ATA

Oxygen concentration inside the chamber: 25%~30%

Oxygen concentration via oxygen headset: 85%~90%

Negative ion content: 30 times higher than ordinary indoor environments

Three Core Benefits

Greatly increased physically dissolved oxygen

At normal atmospheric pressure, only 0.3 mL of oxygen dissolves in every 100 mL of blood; under hyperbaric pressure, this figure rises to over 5.6 mL, nearly a 20-fold increase.

4-fold boost in tissue oxygen reserve

Under normal pressure, 1 kg of tissue stores approximately 13 mL of oxygen; hyperbaric oxygen therapy raises this reserve to 53 mL, providing ample oxygen storage for tissues.

Dramatically extended oxygen diffusion distance

Oxygen can only diffuse roughly 30 micrometers under normal pressure; hyperbaric conditions extend this distance to over 100 micrometers. With stronger penetration, oxygen alleviates cellular hypoxia caused by blood circulation disorders.

Consistent scientific oxygen supplementation boosts cellular vitality, regulates immunity and enhances the body’s self-healing capacity, safeguarding health from the root cause.
