SCAM IN A BOTTLE
The Truth About Oxygenated Water
• •
Improving recovery time
The field of health and nutrition is always improving. As we learn more about how our bodies work, we learn better ways to take care of them. For this reason, dietary suggestions can change a lot. Has anyone decided if eggs are good or bad for us yet? While most research is backed up by science, shifting ideas about nutrition can allow health fads to pop up, many of which offer no real value. This is where oxygenated water comes in. Hailed as a “better” version of water, oxygenated water is infused with 7–40 times more oxygen than regular water, depending on the brand. Since athletes who breathe supplemental O2 often see enhanced athletic performances, the idea is that adding more oxygen to your diet can help your muscles and purify the body. Here are a few benefits oxygenated water claims to offer:
Helping you feel more energetic
TESTIMONIALS At October Kitchen, our mission is to provide delicious, nourishing meals. In doing so, we hope to help our clients lead healthy and independent lives. Nothing fills our hearts more than knowing we’ve succeeded in our goal when we hear such kind words from our clients. “Great menu, great food, at a great price. Where can you go wrong? October Kitchen fed me very well during my transition from Oregon to Connecticut. Love this place and so glad it’s here. I’m definitely going to continue eating their food.” –Seth M. “We have consistently purchased soups, salads, dinners and desserts from October Kitchen. It has always been good. Lately it has been very, very good. We are so pleased to have this service available. This business is generous to the community and to its customers. The owners and staff treat us like old friends and we love having that connection. Thank you!” –Sandra O. This all sounds great, until you realize that these are the same benefits people enjoy when they start getting enough regular water in their diets! There are some brands that insist oxygenated water also helps reverse hair loss, banish wrinkles, and cure spider veins. These sound a lot like the promises snake oil salesman have made for years and both products deliver the same results: nothing. If it sounds like oxygenated water doesn’t do anything, that’s because it doesn’t. Oxygen might be good for your body, but the whole idea of oxygenated water is flawed from the start. We absorb oxygen into our blood through our lungs, not our digestive tracts. And even if our stomach could absorb oxygen, an entire bottle of oxygenated water would provide less oxygen than you’d get by taking a single breath of fresh air. To put it simply, here’s the University of California, Berkeley’s official stance, as stated on their health blog: “Oxygen water is a scam.”
