How does ozone therapy activates cellular metabolism and modulates immune system?

Red blood cells are the mot abundant cells in the blood.They are ozone’s favorite target. To protect itself from oxidants from ozone, a powerful anti-oxidant enzyme system is stimulated in red blood cells. To support the increased functioning of this anti-oxidant defense system, glucose is metabolized. This causes increase in glucose uptake and decrease in blood glucose level. It is beneficial in diabetes mellitus. Increase in glucose metabolism in RBC leads to increase in a compound causing more release of oxygen at tissue level. Ozone increases glucose metabolism and production of high energy compounds. This energy is used to improve the elasticity of the RBC cell membrane. Thus, greatly improving circulation in microangiopathies. Increase production of high energy compounds following ozone therapy is responsible for rejuvenation and energetic feeling. It is an excellent therapy for not only old people but also for over-stressed, tired young people.

Ozone stimulates pro-inflammatory as well as anti-inflammatory lymphocytes in a very controlled fashion. Thus maintaining immune system in an alert state, without any imbalance between activation and suppression. After ozone therapy, activated lymphocytes home in several organs. Activated lymphocytes, in lymphoid tissues and parenchymal micro-environment, stimulate entire immune system. This is very useful in fighting chronic infections and cancer. ozone induces production of PDGF, TGF-beta which helps in healing and repairs. This property is useful in treatment of chronic ulcers, bed sores, non healing wounds, burns etc. Ozone when comes in contact with inner lining of vessels produces nitric oxide which causes relaxation of vessel walls, effecting dilatation of vessels and improving circulation. Stoppage of ozone therapy does not cause abrupt cessation in improvement which persists for 3-4 months corresponding to RBC life span. Therefore, ozone therapy is repeated twice or thrice a year to treat chronic conditions. In general, its biological properties are:
- wide spectrum germicidal properties.
- improves oxygen metabolism.
- regulates oxidative stress.
- improves RBC rheology and micro-circulation.
- stimulates immunity.
- promotes healing.

How to stay active and boost your energy levels in today’s fast paced times?

Energy is essential in this sleep-deprived, overstretched, high-speed world. Everybody is leading a hectic life has become a natural part of life. The challenge, therefore, is to maintain health and vitality, which can only be done by preserving the energy.

- Get a good sleep in night
Having eight hours of sleep is very necessary. It is very important to sleep at proper time. Sleeping from 1 am to 9 am is not though to be as restorative as sleeping from 10 pm to 6 am because hormone secretion, body temperature, digestion, and other important restorative processes follow a 24-hour cycle linked to natural light exposure.

- Increase your magnesium intake
This mineral is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including breaking down glucose into energy. So when levels are even a little low, energy can drop. Add a handful of almonds, hazelnuts or cashews to your daily diet. Increase your intake of whole grains, particularly bran cereal. Eat more fish, especially halibut.

- Eat wholesome cereals
Wholesome cereals such as corn flakes, museli, oatmeal without adding sugar provide quick energy. These meals are digested slowly which means that sugar levels stay stable.

- Drink enough water
Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water in a day especially if you are working out or in warm weather. Drinking nimbu paani will replenish nutrients that are lost.

- When you take time to rest, relax, meditate and eat well, you are preserving energy you already have and are also taking an opportunity to cultivate more. Meditate for 20-25 minutes daily. Try to take a quick 15 to 20 minutes of power nap during the day to help you fight fatigue and low energy and try to stretch for 10minutes twice a day.

- Don’t Skip Breakfast — or Any Other Meal.
- Reduce Stress and Deal With Anger.
- Eat More Whole Grains and Less Sugar.
- Check Your Thyroid Function and Complete Blood Cell Count.
- Although coffee initially raises stress hormones and gives a rush of energy, consuming several cups or more of coffee per day can promote burnout.
