A few years ago oxygen cocktails were very popular all over the world. The producers of the drink promised with its help to get rid of oxygen starvation, anemia and even placental insufficiency! Today, the "boom" around oxygenated drinks has subsided somewhat, but most of us still do not know what the benefits and harms of oxygen cocktails are.
In fact, the oxygen cocktail is not a new or foreign invention at all. Its author is the Russian academician Sirotkin, who in the 60s of the 20th century invented the "oxygen film", which later became known as a cocktail. In the USSR, such a film was offered to children in kindergartens, sanatoriums, rest homes and medical institutions. Only a few decades later, the oxygen cocktail began to be promoted as an "eco-cocktail", a "miracle cure" for all diseases and sold on every corner.
The basis of such a cocktail is natural juice without pulp, herbal tea, a mineral solution, which, with the help of a special apparatus, is saturated with oxygen and brought to a state of delicate and airy foam, which has a peculiar pleasant taste.
The attitude of representatives of official medicine to the beneficial properties of an oxygen cocktail is far from unambiguous. Someone thinks it is really useful, someone - another "food supplement", while other doctors generally advise to give up the use of this drink, since it can bring not only benefits, but also harm.
"Defenders" of the oxygen cocktail argue that with the constantly deteriorating environmental situation in large cities and large settlements, up to 80% of all residents of our country experience oxygen starvation and regular course use of oxygen cocktails can restore the required level of oxygen in the blood.
Opponents of the oxygen "film" are sure - yes, we all do not have enough oxygen, but it is also hardly possible to get the missing amount from the stomach and intestines where the cocktail gets. Moreover, each organism individually reacts to this method of oxygenation, and for some, an oxygen cocktail can cause problems with the digestive tract.
Despite the assurances of the manufacturers and sellers of this invigorating drink, there is no scientifically proven information that an oxygen cocktail can help with placental insufficiency, fetal hypoxia, diseases of the cardiovascular system, digestive tract or ascariasis in children. Such statements are just a publicity stunt for beverage producers who are trying to give consumers the impression that an oxygen cocktail is a panacea for all diseases. Of course, there is considerable benefit from its use, but not more than from the use of vitamins or herbal tea.
The main benefit of an oxygen cocktail for the body is simultaneous saturation of it with oxygen, vitamins and phytoelements contained in the base of the drink. When taken as a course (at least 10 days - 1 cocktail per day), it has a pronounced therapeutic effect on the entire body. An oxygen cocktail is effective for chronic fatigue, decreased performance, insomnia, frequent colds and chronic diseases.
When using an oxygen cocktail, metabolic processes are activated, blood circulation improves, immunity and the nervous system are strengthened. So, taking oxygen cocktails is recommended for children, especially during periods of rapid growth, residents of large industrial centers, people suffering from nervous strain, chronic fatigue and insomnia.
An oxygen cocktail is only useful when prepared correctly. Before drinking such a drink, and even more so, treating your children to it, you need to find out exactly what is included in its composition. So, raw egg whites, which were previously added to the cocktail by many manufacturers, is always a risk of contracting some kind of intestinal infection, for example, salmonellosis.
Another feature of oxygen cocktails is the way they are consumed. In no case should you drink the drink through a straw, as you can get a burn of the mucous membrane of the pharynx or esophagus. The most "correct" way to drink a cocktail is to eat it with a small spoon! This not only protects against burns, but also prevents increased gas formation in the stomach and intestines.
Oxygen cocktail is a drink that is not suitable for everyone, it should not be used when:
Oxygen cocktail
Oxygen cocktail - oxygenated drink. To form the structure of the cocktail, food foaming agents are used - licorice root extract or spum mixtures. Sanatoriums, holiday homes and other health-improving establishments often add vitaminizing ingredients to the cocktail. The taste of an oxygen cocktail completely depends on the components of its base, while oxygen itself has no taste or smell. It is believed to have tonic properties. It is used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes as one of the concomitant means of oxygen therapy. It can help eliminate chronic fatigue syndrome and get rid of hypoxia, activation of cellular metabolism, etc.
Oxygen starvation (hypoxia) can cause irreversible changes in the state of the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous and other body systems. Enrichment of tissues with additional oxygen (oxygen therapy) helps to normalize the functioning of the immune system, cell metabolism, reduce fatigue, etc. In Russia, oxygen therapy uses the means necessary to enrich the body with oxygen, for example, oxygen concentrators, generators, oxygen cocktails, etc. Such means are available in oxygen bars, medical and preventive institutions. In addition, it is possible to carry out oxygen therapy at home. According to studies carried out in the 1960s, stomach tissues absorb oxygen more efficiently, therefore enteral oxygen therapy, based on the use of drinks saturated with this gas, as part of a complex of prevention and treatment of various acute and chronic diseases, can have a positive effect on the body.
For the first time, the recipe for making an oxygen cocktail was invented in the 60s of the XX century by Academician N.N.Sirotinin. ., reported at a meeting of the oxygen committee at the Ministry of Health of Ukraine in 1963. The Soviet scientist conducted research on the respiratory function of the stomach and the entire biliary tract and the possibility of enriching the body with oxygen, the introduction of medical 99% oxygen in the form of foam (an increased oxygen content in the blood is achieved primarily in blood plasma due to the large difference between 99% concentration of medical oxygen and 16 - 18% oxygen content in venous blood) through the digestive tract. During clinical trials, a probe was introduced into the patient's stomach, through which about 2 liters of oxygen entered the body. Despite the obvious positive trend in the patients' condition (the therapeutic effect is elimination of hypoxia, anthelmintic, direct healing effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa and the general positive reflex effect of oxygen on the gastric mucosa), scientists were forced to abandon this method of oxygen therapy in favor of a more sparing the form of oxygen foam, taken internally, which had the same therapeutic effect. Later, scientists began to feed the foam-forming mixture into the Bobrov apparatus, fill it with oxygen and transfer it to the patient's mouth through a special tube. Then, in medical and preventive medical institutions, it became customary to serve oxygen foam in various dishes and eat it with spoons. Then this dish was called "oxygen cocktail". Since the middle of the last century, this technique has practically not changed, only the composition of the foaming mixture and the methods of oxygen enrichment have improved. Initially, an oxygen cocktail was prepared in sanatoriums, dispensaries, school and preschool institutions, as well as hospitals in the USSR. However, the use of cylinders with compressed O 2 in the manufacture of a drink (used in 1968), which presented difficulties in operation, made this means of oxygen therapy a privilege of patients of elite medical and preventive institutions, but since 1970, health devices began to be produced by order of the USSR Ministry of Health, specially designed for oxygen foam production and easy to use. Currently, interest in oxygen cocktails has resumed.
The main component of the oxygen cocktail is gaseous oxygen, (it is an E948 food additive that meets the international requirements of FAO / WHO JECFA (Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the Codex Alimentarius Commission) to an O2 content of more than 99.0%, CO less than 0.001%, CO2 less than 0, 03%, hydrocarbons less than 0.01% lack of odor (letter from the Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences No. 72-01-17 / 275 dated 03.05.2012)), with which the blended syrup is saturated and which, in the oxygen cocktail, is in the opinion of the Research Institute of Nutrition, RAMS (see also reference book "Medicines" MD Mashkovsky M 2010, section "Oxygen") therapeutic and prophylactic action, and which corresponds in the Russian Federation and the Customs Union only medical gaseous oxygen GOST 5583-78 (table 1, measurements 1, 2, 3, 5-7, 9) (letter of the Federal Rospotrebnadzor No. 01 / 4986-12-31 dated 03.05.2012) or liquid medical (after gasification, possibly mixed with nitrogen, made in the same way as the food additive E941 (content more than 99.0% , O2 less than 0.1%, CO less than 0.0 01%), at a concentration of 70-90% oxygen, the rest nitrogen). Medical oxygen in the Russian Federation complies in quality and safety with the EU E948 standards for oxygen as a food additive, and with the standards for medical oxygen of the US State Pharmacopoeia, EU pharmacopoeia, the oxygen content is at least 99.5% and also almost complete absence of harmful impurities and gases. It is produced by low-temperature rectification by enterprises that have a pharmaceutical license, in accordance with the Technical Regulations for the production of medical gases. Such strict requirements are not imposed on technical oxygen. Even technical oxygen of the 1st grade with an oxygen content of 99.7% is unacceptable, since there is no guarantee of the absence of harmful to health impurities of atmospheric air and is prohibited in the Russian Federation by the Law "On the Circulation of Medicines". In the United States, oxygen is only dispensed with a doctor's prescription. In the Russian Federation, an oxygen cocktail is prescribed for children only on the recommendation of a doctor SanPin 2.4.1.2660-10 clause 15.25 and SanPiN 2.4.5.2409-08 clause 6.32. To use an oxygen cocktail as a food product, it is also required to have a technological instruction SanPiN 2.4.1.2660-10 p.15.25 with a recipe approved by Rospotrebnadzor or the Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.
Juices (apple, pear, grape, cherry, sea buckthorn, raspberry), syrups, water, milk and fruit drinks are used as the basis of the cocktail. It is not recommended to use oily and carbonated liquids, as well as juices with pulp, as they prevent the formation of a homogeneous foam. For therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, healing infusions of plants and herbs, for example, hawthorn, immortelle, motherwort and rose hips, are suitable as a basis. Another component of the oxygen cocktail is the foaming element, due to which the foam is formed in the drink. Gelatin, egg white and licorice root are used as such an element. The first oxygen cocktails included raw egg white, but clinical studies have shown that this component had significant drawbacks and side effects, such as hyperallergenicity, unpleasant taste and the possibility of infectious diseases. Now the best foaming elements are licorice root, which has a foaming, general tonic and soothing properties, and dry egg white, which is part of almost all modern mixtures for oxygen cocktails, has the highest foaming and foam-holding properties, and is also devoid of all of the above disadvantages of crude protein. ... An oxygen cocktail may also contain vitamin and mineral components that are resistant to oxygen. All components must have in the Russian Federation documents confirming the quality and safety, for medicines (medical oxygen, licorice root, medicinal herbs) - registration certificate of the Federal Roszdravnadzor, for food additives (food products) registration certificates of Rospotrebnadzor (including for food additive oxygen E948 ), manufacturer's declarations based on compliance with the norms of the Russian Federation and the Customs Union, supported by laboratory tests of accredited laboratories.
There are several traditional ways to prepare an oxygen cocktail: using an oxygen cocktail, oxygen stone or oxygen mixer connected to a gas source (oxygen concentrator, cylinder). To prepare a cocktail, pour 2 grams of a foaming agent into a 400 ml container and add 100 ml of a base liquid (juice, fruit drink, milk, etc.). Then a mixer connected to an oxygen source is lowered into the mixture. Within a few seconds, the liquid is filled with gas. Then the oxygen mixer is turned on for 10-15 seconds and the drink is foamed. In order to prepare a cocktail using an oxygen stone, you need to lower the stone connected to an oxygen cartridge or concentrator into a container with a mixture of a base liquid and a foaming agent. The traditional method of obtaining an oxygen cocktail (foam) since 1970 on health devices (oxygen foaming agents), developed by a student of the Academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences Sirotinin N.N. Professor Zanozdroi (Kiev), which are still produced by several manufacturers in Russia, include a vessel in the form of a small canister (weighing 2-4 kg. with a pressure reducing reducer, which contains a supply of medical oxygen gaseous GOST 5583-78 or food oxygen (registered food additive E948), which, after dispensing 200-500 portions of 200-250 ml of foam, needs to be refilled at an oxygen plant (station, or at the Ministry of Emergencies) and a capacity of 0.5-1.0 liters (approved for contact with food by sanitary services) , closed with a lid when on vacation and containing a solution for preparing an oxygen cocktail, into which oxygen is supplied through a tube from the Health apparatus and sprayed in a blending syrup with an oxygen spray, after 10-20 seconds the foam enters the prepared glasses through the outgoing tube and is taken with spoons or tubes inside the body .Similarly, disposable small cans are used - strollers complete with a container for solution (EU disposable, there are reusable - oxygen cocktails), with a supply of oxygen for several portions. Any use of medical oxygen gas (or food additive E948) is easy to distinguish, no power supply is required, and can be distinguished.
Oxygen and oxygen-air mixtures are always oil and fat-hazardous, i.e. when oxygen comes into contact with fat (oil), the oil always ignites (sometimes - this requires a spark, but at elevated pressure it is often not required), although medical gaseous oxygen GOST 5583-78 itself never burns, it supports (enhances) the combustion processes ... The explosion of pure medical oxygen in an oxygen cocktail is IMPOSSIBLE technically, i.e. there will be no blast wave, but burns from burning fat are possible (even from a small can, which fits in a pocket), if you lubricate any apparatus for preparing an oxygen cocktail (any part of it in contact with oxygen, and containers for blended syrup) with fat (oil). Oil burnout on contact with oxygen occurs within seconds within a radius of no more than 1 meter and ends immediately. Therefore, an employee supplying an oxygen cocktail to organized groups must ALWAYS be instructed and have a written safety permit from a medical organization or the Ministry of Emergencies. People who prepare an oxygen cocktail on their own should remember about the oil hazard of oxygen and keep everything that can come into contact with oxygen clean and wash their hands before work. It is important that there is no one near the worker at the beginning (a few seconds after the oxygen supply) of the oxygen supply, if there is no contact with the oil, then there will be no ignition further. Any oxygen-air equipment is the same in terms of potential hazard technology (2A (average) of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Emergency Situations also believes. But in principle, the technical danger of any source of oxygen for an oxygen cocktail is very small, a TV or washing machine is potentially more dangerous.
As studies of Russian scientists show, having penetrated into the stomach and intestines, the contents of the foam in the form of oxygen, vitamins and trace elements are immediately absorbed into the blood. The assimilation of such oxygen is much faster. It is believed that the absorbed oxygen, having turned into the energy of biological processes, normalizes metabolism, improves blood circulation, redox reactions, and stimulates immunity. Improved metabolic processes stimulate the absorption of cocktail ingredients, and their beneficial effect is enhanced. ...
In the gynecological department of rehabilitation treatment of the Academician V. I. Kulakov Scientific Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology, clinical studies of the use of oxygen cocktails in rehabilitation treatment have been carried out. Hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) manifests itself in a deterioration in the blood supply to the tissues and systems of the body, which is confirmed during diagnostics using an ECG, rheoencephalography, rheography of the pelvic organs and vascular Doppler measurements. Hypoxia has a negative effect on fetal development during pregnancy. Insufficient oxygen supply can lead to pathological disorders of metabolic processes and functions of vital organs of the fetus, as well as increase the risk of trauma during childbirth. In the course of clinical studies, it was revealed that the use of oxygen cocktails in the complex treatment of patients of the center (including children and adolescents) suffering from inflammatory diseases of the uterine appendages, can help normalize metabolic and reflex processes, activate antioxidants in the blood plasma. According to the observations of the scientists of the center, as a result, the efficiency increases and the psychoemotional state of patients improves, which has been proven by numerous medical and psychological studies. In 2005, the Scientific Center for Children's Health of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences conducted a study of the effectiveness of oxygen cocktails in the complex treatment of school and preschool patients with chronic diseases of the respiratory and digestive systems, often sick and weak children. During the study, patients consumed 200 ml of the cocktail daily. In clinical trials, there were no side effects of an oxygen cocktail, stool changes, nausea and vomiting caused by drinking the drink. Scientists have come to the conclusion that an oxygen cocktail can activate cellular metabolism, reduce fatigue, increase work capacity, and stimulate the immune system. An improvement in the condition of the body was noted in all patients with pathologies of the respiratory system and in 85% of children with diseases of the digestive system. The effectiveness of the use of an oxygen cocktail for the prevention and treatment of placental insufficiency and fetal hypoxia was confirmed in the course of clinical studies conducted in 2006 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia.
Thus, in the course of clinical studies conducted by Russian scientists, it was revealed that an oxygen cocktail as an accompanying element of oxygen therapy can have the following effect on the body:
Russian medical institutions can recommend women during pregnancy, athletes, children and adolescents, residents of large cities with poor environmental conditions, people suffering from hypoxia, diseases of the cardiovascular and digestive systems, immune problems, insomnia, chronic fatigue and the presence of overweight take oxygen cocktails in combination with other means of treatment and prevention.
After taking a cocktail, bouts of flatulence may begin. If you have a serious illness, you should consult a doctor before using the drink. Contraindications to the use of oxygen cocktails can be:
Oxygen - singlent (or ozone) cocktail (correct therapy) is a medical physiotherapeutic method (proposed by the Swedish scientist Van der Valk 1996), based on ultraviolet irradiation of oxygen molecules, in which oxygen receives additional energy, which gives the body (and some the amount of ozone with a bactericidal effect). It is required to use this foam immediately, in any case no more than within five minutes, since the oxygen activity decreases rapidly and there is no effect later. For several years in Ukraine (MIT-S) has been used in the form of foam taken internally, externally the same as an oxygen cocktail (initially in all countries it is used in the form of breathing (inhalation), it has nothing to do with the oxygen cocktail and does not replace it, since air is used, but these are completely different things - oxygen - singlet foam is like an oxygen cocktail no more than drinking water for vodka). But most people in Ukraine believe that their children take an oxygen cocktail (as they are misled, usually out of ignorance), but the oxygen content in the air is 21%, and in medical oxygen it is more than 99.5%. Only medical organizations can legally engage in oxygen-singlet therapy, but in the CIS it is widely used by private entrepreneurs - not doctors (in Europe and the United States this is not possible, since there are very serious sanctions for the lack of a medical license). According to the Methodological Recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation "The use of oxygen-ozone mixture in dermatology and cosmetology No. 2003-84" dated 12.02.2004. for internal therapy (i.e. for oral administration), only medical oxygen gas can be used
This drink helps prevent hypoxia in the body. Oxygen cocktail, or oxygen foam, is becoming more and more popular every year. Find out what are the benefits and harms of this drink, what are the contraindications for taking it.
Oxygen foam is a liquid saturated with oxygen, into which berries, fruits and other components are added to improve the taste. An oxygen cocktail is, in fact, a drink familiar to everyone from childhood, only enriched with a gas necessary for any living being. Initially, only wealthy patients of sanatoriums and rest homes could try the healthy foam. With the invention of the latest production technologies, the drink became available to the masses. So, you can buy foam in pharmacies, oxybars and sanatoriums at a price of 100-120 rubles. per liter.
The first ozone drinks were made from raw egg whites. The taste of such a cocktail left much to be desired, and the foam formed during oxygenation quickly settled. Later they began to use dry egg whites. The composition of the oxygen cocktail in a modern interpretation includes licorice or licorice root, as well as a gelatin solution. During preparation, special food foaming agents are added to the drink. The liquid base of the hydroxy drink can be:
Oxygen therapy proponents argue that almost anyone can benefit from an ozone drink. The benefits and harms of oxygen cocktail is a matter of controversy in the medical environment. In contrast to the apologists of ozone therapy, opponents of this direction are sure that it is impossible to get the missing amount of ozone through the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, they express the idea that oxygen therapy can provoke the development of various diseases of the digestive system.
For the most part, the beneficial effects of foam on the human body are not disputed. This raises a natural question about what oxygen cocktails are useful for? It is important to note that some of the manufacturers' statements on this matter are only an advertising stunt and nothing more. The drink has the same effect as if the patient drank herbal tea or vitamin complex. Experts recommend drinking oxypenka for insomnia and flatulence, cerebrovascular accidents. So, the benefits of oxygen cocktails are the following:
This healthy drink has a positive effect on the body only when properly prepared. We should also mention the method of using the antihypoxic agent. Foam can not be drunk through a straw: this can cause burns to the oral mucosa. By the way, doctors warn that the safest way to take foam is to eat it from a spoon. In addition, it is forbidden to eat foam with bronchial asthma. Along with this, the following contraindications for oxygen cocktails are distinguished:
The second half of the gestation period is dangerous by the development of intrauterine hypoxia. For this reason, in many antenatal clinics, oxypenk is prescribed to expectant mothers as a prevention of this serious complication. Oxygen cocktail for pregnant women is very useful. The foam contains the most optimal set of vitamins. The drink helps to avoid not only oxygen starvation, but also to increase the resistance of the female body to many diseases. Plus, oxypena has a low calorie content, which is especially useful for overweight pregnant women.
Oxypenka treatment has no age restrictions. A growing child is actively developing and it often happens that angiogenesis does not keep up with the constantly emerging new cellular structures. Due to the lack of the required number of vessels, the child's body begins to experience symptoms of oxygen starvation. With the help of an hydroxy drink, you can easily make up for the lack of a vital substance in the body. For this reason, the benefits of an oxygen cocktail for children are simply undeniable. In addition, children, as a rule, drink this delicious drink with pleasure.
There are many recipes for making your own oxygen mixture. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the ingredients used and the existing indications. Before adding this or that component, you need to make sure of its anti-allergenic nature. If you use raw protein for the preparation of an oxynapitation, thoroughly wash the eggshells beforehand. An oxygen cocktail at home is made according to the following recipes:
Oxygen cocktail Is an amazing source of health. A truly unique and useful find for the large population of megacities, who face harmful environmental conditions every day.
After all, its effect on the health of the body is invaluable. Delicious, healthy, low in calories, it has come to the taste of millions of people who are seriously thinking about their health.
Oxygen cocktail Is a delicious and very healthy drink. Today it is a very effective, convenient and affordable way to deal with the prevention and treatment of many diseases. The original drink supports the body with an excellent dose of oxygen. In this case, you do not need to sit for hours with an applied oxygen mask. The cocktail, entering the body, spreads quickly enough, giving not only the pleasure of a pleasant taste, but also tremendous health benefits.
Back in the sixties of the XX century, Soviet scientists proved that oxygen can enter the blood not only through the lungs, it can be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Liquid and a special foaming agent (mainly licorice extract) are saturated with medical oxygen, and the result is an oxygen cocktail. The liquid can be drinking water, herbal infusions or fruit juices, with the addition of various syrups and vitamin complexes, which increases the usefulness of the product. The foaming agent is necessary to create a stable foam, in the bubbles of which there is oxygen.
The main component is, of course, oxygen... The rest of the ingredients are additives that give the drink a particular taste. The oxygen used must be in accordance with E948 (food additive). Moreover, this component fully meets the requirements of the Ministry of Health.
As already mentioned, in addition to the main ingredient, a cocktail may contain syrup, fruit juice, milk or water. Pulp-containing juices and soda are not used to prepare the drink. They prevent the formation of the characteristic foam. Namely, it contains oxygen.
How to drink this healing drink so that the body gets the maximum benefit? Doctors recommend introducing it into the diet 1.5 hours before a meal. It is best to consume the cocktail at lunchtime. The drink will bring good results if you drink it after a meal, about 2 hours after eating. To improve the baby's appetite, a cocktail is given to the child immediately before meals. Nutritionists recommend adhering to the following rate: 1-2 cocktails a day for 15 days.
If you have no contraindications (we will talk about them later) to taking a cocktail, and the desire to improve your well-being is quite strong, you can make such a drink yourself at home. This process does not cause great difficulties. You just need to purchase special equipment.
Oxygen cartridge. Small portable source. The capacity of the spray can is several liters, and the weight is 200 grams. Great for making a cocktail at home or on the go.
Oxygen Concentrator. Medical household appliance. This apparatus produces oxygen from the ambient air. Powered by a power supply (220 V). The device is most often used in business projects for the production and sale of oxygen cocktails. It is rarely used at home.
Oxygen cylinder containing a reducer. High pressure washer. It is filled with medical oxygen. The reducer allows you to adjust the oxygen supply.
Oxygen mixer. A special device that allows you to whip the base into a thick foam. During the whipping process, the mass is enriched with oxygen. Such a device is most often used in bars. It is sometimes purchased for home use.
Tube with aerator. The most economical device, while still quite portable. It is a flexible or rigid tube with a spray at the end. It is such a spray that breaks the stream of oxygen and turns the foaming base into a cocktail.
Method 1. With an oxygen mixer.
Pour the liquid base into any suitable container, add the composition. Add oxygen to the container and beat the contents with a mixer until a thick foam is obtained. This method allows you to quickly and easily prepare a cocktail. In addition, each portion can be made individually, which means there is an opportunity to experiment with different tastes.
Method 2. Using a tube with an aerator.
Mix the liquid base thoroughly with the composition. Connect the tube to the oxygen source and completely fill the container with foam. During the manufacturing process, the aerator must be completely immersed in liquid. This is the ideal way to make an oxygen cocktail at home.
Surprisingly, one serving of oxygen cocktail is equivalent to a two-hour walk in the fresh air. If we talk about the benefits, we should single out the categories of people for whom the drink really brings recovery.
Children... Oxygen is a natural source of energy. It promotes growth, proper development of the baby. The drink is especially necessary for often ill children, since it perfectly strengthens the immune system. An oxygen cocktail helps children to endure physical and mental labor more easily, which is an undoubted benefit.
Elderly people... In old age, the volume of the lungs decreases. The body is less enriched with oxygen. This contributes to the malfunctioning of many organs, causing a wide variety of diseases. It is the cocktail that becomes an excellent source of oxygen, stimulating the proper functioning of most body systems.
People with diseases respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, nervous systems, liver diseases. Any disturbances in the functioning of such organs significantly impair the oxygen enrichment of the body. Such a deficiency leads to the aggravation of diseases, and sometimes the emergence of new ones. It is noticed that an oxygen cocktail significantly improves the condition, helps to reduce the risk of developing new diseases, reducing the negative effects of oxygen starvation.
People of mental labor... For the brain to function productively, it must be enriched with oxygen. Deficiency leads to rapid fatigue, nervous tension, and dizziness. A sufficient supply of oxygen promotes concentration of attention, stimulates performance, improves vision.
Athletes. The need for a cocktail is obvious enough. After all, the active work of the muscles requires a lot of oxygen. The better the body is enriched, the more energy it accumulates.
People with bad habits. Needless to say, oxygen helps to cleanse the lungs in a natural way. Therefore, the use of cocktails can reduce the harm that nicotine brings to the body.
With such an extensive list of beneficial properties, you should be very careful about the regular intake of a cocktail. It is best to check with your doctor. You should know that in some diseases, such a storehouse of useful substances can harm the body.
You should not use the drink when:
The ability to breathe appears after birth; before birth, providing everything necessary depends on the mother. It is important for pregnant women to take care of their health and thereby ensure the viability of the unborn child, and the prevention of possible problems, including fetal hypoxia, serves as a guarantee. Along with the regime, optimal nutrition and active walks, the benefits of an oxygen cocktail during pregnancy are undeniable.
That is why it is imperative for pregnant women to enrich their bodies with oxygen. It should be noted that drinking a cocktail is the safest and most effective method. In addition, having the property of increasing immunity, women who prefer an oxygen drink are much less likely to get sick.
With anemia, vegetative-vascular dystonia, hypoxia, doctors strongly recommend an oxygen cocktail.
All living things need oxygen. It is an oxidizing agent, with the help of it, after a whole complex of chemical reactions, energy is released in the cells, which provides the needs of the body. Therefore, oxygen is especially necessary for a rapidly developing, but not yet born child.
Hypoxia - Insufficient oxygen supply to the fetus. Only a doctor can determine whether it exists and why it has arisen. The reasons may be diseases that the expectant mother suffers, pathologies of the placenta and umbilical cord, or diseases of the fetus itself. Allocate acute and chronic hypoxia. Acute oxygen deficiency occurs during childbirth, chronic develops throughout the entire period of pregnancy.
Depending on the severity of hypoxia, its effect on the unborn child is different. Insignificant oxygen starvation will practically not affect health, severe forms can cause irreparable harm and cause developmental delay and the inability of the baby to adapt after birth.
Oxygen deficiency is treated in a complex manner, that is, the cause or disease itself is eliminated, and therapy is carried out aimed at improving the oxygen supply of both the woman's body and the child. An oxygen cocktail is an affordable and effective way to prevent and avoid hypoxia along with general therapy. In addition, it is useful for mom - it will help with toxicosis, normalize the intestinal microflora and increase the body's resistance to viral infections. In addition, its use dulls the feeling of hunger by filling the stomach with voluminous foam, thus contributing to the maintenance of normal weight.
Initially, such drinks were only in medical institutions - sanatoriums, hospitals. The emergence of safe sources of life-giving oxygen made it possible to make healing foam outside of health resorts.
Today You can enjoy a drink in almost any institution - kindergartens, schools, sports facilities, beauty salons, entertainment and shopping centers, offices. But the biggest plus was that modern production made it possible to make oxygen cocktails at home.
It is enough just to purchase oxygen cocktail mixer (the price of which is about 6 thousand rubles). And you can pamper yourself and your household with a healing drink at any time.
The human body is unique and complex, but at the same time very vulnerable. Its health and vitality depends on environmental factors, and oxygen is one of the most important. Without it, a person will die very quickly, and with oxygen starvation, the brain and nervous system first of all suffer.
Drinking cocktails, especially a course intake (ten sessions per month) increases the oxygen content in arterial blood. It is predominantly contained in plasma in a dissolved form. An airy, extremely delicate cocktail, with the addition of juices or fruit drinks, is undoubtedly very pleasant to the taste, and for maximum benefit it is eaten with a spoon within five minutes an hour and a half before meals or two hours after eating.
You should not deny yourself the pleasure of trying an oxygen cocktail - moreover, its use is considered absolutely safe, but in order to dispel doubts, you should consult a doctor, and also exclude an allergic reaction to additives.
Oxygen cocktails with bursting gas bubbles delight all children, without exception. Getting a charge of positive emotions, they do not think about the benefits of the drink. And only with time, when it is necessary to make a decision on its appointment already to your own child, questions arise. Let's try to solve them all today.
The oxygen cocktail contains three groups of ingredients:
When choosing components for the liquid part, they refuse oily solutions and fruit drinks containing pulp. During the preparation process, they noticeably reduce foaming, and hence the filling of the drink with gas bubbles. Popular, rose hips, juices and syrups from apples, cherries, raspberries, pears.
Of the foaming components, licorice root is now more commonly used. Egg white is fraught with the danger not only of infecting salmonellosis, but also of provoking an allergic reaction in children.
Oxygen is added from an oxygen concentrator, portable cartridge, or medical oxygen cylinder.
The polluted atmosphere of cities makes scientists sound the alarm about the quality of the inhaled air. Harmful impurities of industrial production, gas emissions from enterprises, exhaust of fuel combustion products in car engines, toxic compounds used in agriculture - just a small list of dangerous additives that enter our body when we breathe.
The child's body is most sensitive to a lack of oxygen. Fast growth and high physical activity require a lot of energy. It is released and used by the body only in the presence of sufficient doses of oxygen - the main participant in redox reactions.
Oxygen drink relieves physical and mental fatigue, increases immune strength, improves the state of the nervous system. Courses for taking cocktails with oxygen in children's institutions are aimed at reducing the incidence of colds and compensating for the harm caused by long-term stay of urban children in closed rooms.
Although it is difficult to overdo it with an oxygen cocktail, there are age-specific dosages of intake:
Children are given a cocktail to drink once a day in courses of 10-15 days. After a break of 1-2 months, the course can be repeated.
Oxygenated drinks have a tonic effect. They can be taken only in the morning and only freshly prepared. You need to "eat" the foam slowly and in small sips, using a spoon, not a straw.
Today oxygen cocktails have become especially popular in preschool institutions (DDoS). Typically, these drinks are prescribed several times a year as wellness courses during a period when outdoor walks are limited due to seasonal vagaries of the weather.
The main requirement for oxygen cocktails in kindergartens is a guarantee of safety for the child. In order not to harm the growing body, the preparation should be carried out by specially trained medical personnel who are responsible for the quality of all components in the drink.
Before starting the wellness procedures, parents should be familiarized with the recipe in order to exclude an allergic reaction in children.
Officially, the concept of "oxygen cocktail" appeared in 1963. The famous academician NN Sirotinin experimentally proved that the stomach and intestines absorb not only liquids and food, but also gases, which include oxygen.
Oxygen therapy with pure oxygen enriched foam has appeared in the complex of therapeutic measures for diseases of the heart, liver, blood vessels, and the central nervous system. True, for a long time only the party elite and high military ranks could enjoy the benefits of foamy oxygen drinks.
Later, oxygen cocktails as a fortifying agent began to be prescribed in prestigious children's sanatoriums, in medical institutions for elderly people to combat aging of the body, and for pregnant women - to prevent fetal hypoxia.
Since the advent of a new method of treatment, disputes among specialists about its expediency have not subsided.
