우리는 모두 생존을 위한 산소를 필요로 한다.
나는 늦은 년 2000년에서, "산소 막대기"가 미국 및 일본에서 뛰어올랐다는 것을 기억했다. 그러나, 동향은 잠시 후에 실패했다. 어떤은 어떤이 밝혔더라도 반면 그들이 상쾌하게 한 및 달래는 호흡 순수 산소는, 마시는 알콜 보다는 더 나쁠 몸에 해를 도울 것이라는 점을 산소의 고도 가지고 가서 저것을 실제로 하고 있을 것이라는 점을 믿어 느끼것이라는 점을 것을. 이 점이 미해결 인 것을 남아 있고는 산소가 막대기 그 후 닫았는 동안, OXIA 의 개인 산소 분배기에게 불린 다른 제품은, 년 2006년부터 시장에 나왔다.
이 새로운 발명품으로 흥분해, OXIA는 얻기 전에, 기초를 이해하자. 우리는 대기권에 있는 3개의 중요한 가스, 즉 질소 (78%), 산소 (21%), 및 이산화탄소 (0.03%)가 있다. 우리는 우리의 폐에 있는 이산화탄소가 더 있을 경우, 우리 몸에 있는 소위 이산화탄소 감지기는 질식시키기의 감각을 포함하여 두뇌에 신호를, 보낼 것이다. 이렇게, 발명된 근거한 뱅쿠버 근거한 OXIA는 이 이론에 있었는가?
실제로, 창시자는 이 아이디어로 그가 아시아에 있는 높은 오염 국가를 방문한 후에 나왔다. 그는 사람이 청결한 공기를 최후에 지불할 다고 믿는다. 이렇게, 일이 올 때 운을 얻는 것을 희망해 그는 이 합작을 시작했다.
지금, 산소를 휴대용 모양에 있는 저장하고 판매하기 위하여 - 간단한 아이디어? 이렇게 하게 그렇습니다, 그러나 이렇게 쉬운. 산소 막대기와는 다른, Oxia는 양철통 (가스를 위한 원통 모양 콘테이너) 모양에서 포장된다. 기술설계와 디자인 원근법에서, 압력을 가한 가스를 포함하는 금속 실린더는 잠재 위험이다 (제대로 하는 폭발한 일지모른다 그렇지 않으면). 많은 시도가 권위에 의해 놓인 준엄한 명세을 따르는, 창시자 마지막으로 Oxia를 만든 후에, 이렇게.
방문 후에 Oxia 웹사이트, 나는 산소로 처리한 공기 의지를 흡입 뜻깊은 효력을 주십시오 회사가 증거를 제안하는 것을 시도한ㄴ다는 것을 깨달았다. 진짜로 붙잡은 무엇이 나의 주의는 이 요구이다:"Cancer 산소의 그것의 이상한 공급 때문에 공격한다 심혼을 제외하고 우리 몸에 있는 각 기관을."는
나는 잘 모른다 과학적으로 진실한 지 요구하는 무엇을. 당신은 이것에 정보가 더 있는 경우에, 나는 알고 싶으면. 우리 암을 방지하는 산소를 더 필요로 하십시오 회사는 (또는 그릇 인도하기 위하여) 저희에게 말하는 것을 시도하고 있는가 인가?
이득에 관해서는, 이들은 웹사이트에서 밝힌 무슨이다:
- 두뇌를 위해 - 호흡 산소는 풍성하게 한 공기는 자연적으로 젊어지게 하는 것을 도울지도 모른다 (낱말을 "일지모른다" 주의하십시오)
- 피부 - 더 나은 혈액 순환을 승진시키는 5월 도움을 위해.
- 위를 위해 - 산소는 원조하고 음식을 나누기에서 물질 대사를 돕고 소화를 원조한다.
- 다리를 위해 - 직업적인 운동선수는 일정하게 고갈의 그들의 한계를 확장하고 더 빠른 회복을 승진시키기 위하여 산소를 이용한다.
다행히, 회사는 잔존물 치료로 Oxia 제품을 선전하서 정직하다 which the oxygen bars used to do so as the marketing gimmick. The founders said that he preferred to pair the product with the notion of a healthy lifestyle. Fair enough.
So, put things in a nice way, the company does not really offer concrete proof that inhaling mostly-oxygenated air will produce any noticeable effect. I understand that oxygen is used by many people with serious illnesses in hospitals. In fact, friends told me that they have seen it given to people who were panicking at scuba diving sites as a sort of rapid tranquilizer. They believe that inhaling oxygen causes them to feel more relaxed and less anxious. Some also say that they are more relaxed outside from the city, like at seaside. This relaxing effect in natural environments might be caused by the difference in oxygen ratios.
I have not tried Oxia yet, but, I believe that it can be challenging for beginner to use it. If you look at the canister, it has a plastic mouthpiece that slides upward. Based on what I read, Oxia’s engineers initially wanted to attach a mask to the cylinder. But, this design would make the product too cumbersome for carrying. They finally settled on a plastic mouthpiece that slides up to reveal a pinhole from which the oxygen flows. Once the lips are placed over that opening, a trigger can be squeezed to start the surge of oxygen.
Some extremist believed that Oxia would do harm than good. Personally, I do not think that it is doing any good and I doubt it will hurt too. Its benefit can be more psychological than genuinely physical.
If you want to give Oxia a try, you have to get it from the US, Canada, Taiwan, Japan, Mexico and Norway. It is sold mainly in hotel (in rooms or given as complimentary item in luxury hotels), pharmacy, clinics and spas. The price is about U$60 for a 120 mm cylinder size (6.1 gallons), U$70 for 150 mm (8.2 gallons) and U$90 for 180 mm (10.6 gallons). Depending on the size, each canister provides about 30 to 40 deep breaths of pollutant-free oxygen. Good thing is that the Oxia dispenser is reusable and refillable, so customer can return the empty units to the place of purchase for a new one. The refill is about U$15.
Do not ever bother to find it in 7-Eleven. May be that is the company’s intention. It never wants to sell to everyone on the street. It is meant for the rich and famous. It is sold for customers luxury hotels, as a cure for jet lag. If you travel to Canada, you can find personal oxygen at the Vancouver Pan Pacific, the Vancouver Opus, Montreal Place D’Armes and various Westin owned hotels. The company also said Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler and New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan are among its celebrity clients.
Having said that, I have a check at Amazon and I just realized OXIA is currently available there - small dispenser.
Whether Oxia is just another fad, it is hard to say so. Thirty years ago, people said bottled water manufacturers would simply close down within short time. Making people pay for things that formerly were free is just not easy. Why pay for water when they could get it from the tap. Why pay for cable TV when you can watch free-to-air programs? Yet, bottled water companies and paid cable TV business are still thriving.
May be businessmen have run out of things to sell. Oxygen is a business item now. Anyway, if Oxia makes it big, I would think it is going to become the Evian of the bottled oxygen industry. May be Oxia can market its product more than being oxygen supplier. If I were the marketing director of Oxia, I will promote Oxia to be used for other things - to inflate balloons, to dry hair, to make bubbles in your drink and to heal the world by releasing it to the air to improve the Earth’s atmosphere. OK, I know - I am talking nonsense now.
If you cannot get hold of Oxia or simply cannot afford it, no worry. Do this - go to a less crowded place, close your eyes, and breathe deeply through your nose. You will get the oxygen you want.
And it is free.
Having said that, if you have money to kill your curiosity, you can get OXIA from Amazon.

Hi Mun
Just wanna let u know that I love your blog and I follow it religiously. Its good to know that there are so many gymaholics out there.
Ok back to Oxia. Well a sales rep from oxia actually came to give a free talk on the importance of oxygen at my office. According to them, by taking 3 puffs in the morning and 3 more before bed time, That would be sufficient for better complexion, appetite, energy, and yes eventually lose weight (possible?!) Their main selling point was for CPR and first aid kit. In a way I think its quite handy to have it at work places. But I have this thinking of, why pay for something if you can get it for free? For poor people like me, just do 15 mins of yoga breathing exercise every morning and you will be fine.
