The Benefits of Boost Oxygen for the Elderly

As we age, our lung capacity naturally decreases, which can make shortness of breath more common during everyday activities. As a result, many elderly people are turning to portable oxygen cannisters, like Boost Oxygen, to improve their body’s oxygen levels and increase overall performance.  

 In this guide, we’ll explore the benefits of elderly people using Boost Oxygen and the most common instances where it is used.  

Natural Oxygen is commonly used by elderly users to live an active lifestyle. This is effective as it helps to improve endurance and speed up recovery times, all while boosting cellular energy production.   

It can be particularly useful after periods of light exercise, such as walking and hiking, travelling, or even just completing everyday tasks. Boost Oxygen can increase physical performance during these activities, giving your body what it needs to live a fitter, healthier, and happier life.   

When there is a lack of oxygen, cells cannot produce the correct amount of energy efficiently. If this continues, it can result in hypoxemia, a term for when blood oxygen levels are too low. Over time, it can lead to muscle fatigue due to a build-up of lactic acid and a lower capacity for movement and exercise.   

This is where Boost Oxygen comes in, providing short-term relief to lessen the symptoms of fatigue and delivering oxygen to your brain and muscles to support energy production. After use, it helps to alleviate sluggishness often associated with low energy levels.   

In areas of high pollution or high altitude, Boost Oxygen can provide temporary relief to aid breathing. After all, while the air we breathe typically contains around 21% oxygen, Boost Oxygen provides approximately 95% pure oxygen for users.   

From high humidity levels and temperatures in summer to wetter weather in winter, seasonal changes can also make it harder to breathe from month to month. These can even be effective indoors, during the winter months, where the inside air may be thinner and damper. Using Boost Oxygen in these circumstances can ease feelings of dizziness and increase breathing capacity.   

Using Boost Oxygen cannisters can increase oxygen levels in your bloodstream, which are pumped throughout your body. With greater circulation to the brain, it provides improved mental clarity and function while also enhancing overall energy levels. It can also reduce brain inflammation, often associated with brain fog.  

Boost Oxygen can be particularly effective for tasks that require full concentration, focus, and alertness, giving you more power to do the job at hand without mental fatigue.    

The elderly can be more vulnerable to becoming ill as their immune systems grow weaker over time. This is especially a problem over the winter months, when illness is more widespread.  

While Boost Oxygen is not a replacement for vaccines and medicines, it can help to clear sinuses and assist during times of colds or coughs, where breathing may be restricted. However, if you are struggling to breathe due to illness, we recommend consulting with a doctor beforehand. Our Boost Oxygen Menthol solution contains eucalyptus to help ease blocked airways during the colder months, providing temporary relief whenever you need it.
