Exercise &
Sports
“It’s official: exercise and physical
activity are good for you. It can also be a lot of fun and help you
to widen your social contacts. In May 2010, the Department of Health
published guidelines – based on scientific evidence – for physical
activity in the general population. The research showed that regular
physical activity and exercise reduce the risk of many common
diseases, such as heart disease, type II diabetes and certain
cancers. It also showed that it is important for improving long-term
health and wellbeing.”

The benefits of exercise, staying physically
and socially active are well documented for individuals with COPD
and other respiratory problems.
Ambulatory oxygen is prescribed for those whose Sp02
drops below 88% and some studies show oxygen will increase our
ability to exercise.
Those same studies usually don’t find long term benefits
supplemental oxygen. On the
other hand, they find pulmonary rehab does.
My experience with supplemental oxygen and
staying active tells a different story.
In September 2022 I visited Devils Tower and Fort Bridger
State Historic Site and spent hours exploring each.
In 2018 I could have visited their parking lots!
I play pickleball, ride a bicycle, and visit other sites that
interest me. I am more
active today than I was in 2018.
I am more active now because of liquid oxygen.
It allows me to play pickleball 4 days a week.
It allows me to walk for exercise.
It has improved my health over a period of years.
It would not have happened in a 3 month study.
The liquid oxygen allows me to stay physically
active which is important “for improving long-term health and
wellbeing.” The
quality of my life has increased by leaps and bounds.
