If you or your loved one is finding normal

breathing difficult, there are top
5 ways to improve your oxygen levels.
1) Stay Fresh, Stay Natural
• There are natural
alternatives to increase
oxygen in your home.
Adding plants such as the
areca palm, snake plant,
money plant, gerbera
daisy or Chinese
evergreens can actually
increase the oxygen in
your home naturally.
2) Be Calm
Relaxation techniques can help
someone with difficulty in
breathing. When you’re calm,
deep breathing becomes easier,
stress levels lower and your
oxygen levels can improve.
You can try meditation, yoga,
positive thinking exercises and
writing in a journal to help you
relax, breathe and improve
your oxygen levels.
3) Healthy Fluids
• Fluids can also help you
improve your oxygen levels.
Water molecules or H2O are
made of two hydrogen atoms
and one oxygen atom. Drinking
enough water, juices and
smoothies will help you stay
hydrated. When you’re
hydrated, it’s easier for your
blood to deliver nutrients and
oxygen to the rest of your body.
4) Eat for Oxygen Success
• Sweet Apples, Apricots,
Avocadoes, Berries, Ripe
Bananas, Carrots, Dates,
Sweet Grapes, Pears,
Pineapple, Kiwis, Mango,
Limes, Melons, Capsicum,
Watermelon, Papaya and
Alfalfa Sprouts increase
blood oxygen levels.
 5) Use Herbs
• Cutting down on your salt intake can help you reduce
excess fluid and bloating.
Instead of salt, try herbs
and spices such as
peppermint, oregano and
turmeric, which are all
herbs that can help your
lungs. When your lungs are
breathing more easily,
you’ll have improved
oxygen levels.
