介绍:
31. Oxygen氧气 [00:01.86]Oxygen, that thing you breathe, [00:05.00]that essential gas that keeps the world going round [00:08.28]is really more important than you give it credit for. [00:11.92]Oxygen is what essentially and literally [00:15.62]keeps you alive and keeps you going. [00:18.25]Consider this: people can survive for a few days [00:22.60]without food and water, [00:24.27]but do you think a person can survive [00:26.60]even a few minutes without oxygen? [00:29.33]No, the brain would die [00:32.02]and the heart would stop pumping immediately. [00:34.98]This is how essential oxygen is to the human body. [00:39.14]It is used to convert fats and proteins [00:42.39]from the food we consume into heat and energy [00:46.08]for the body and its normal functioning. [00:48.62]Oxygen is essential for the production of living cells [00:52.87]and for respiration of these cells as well. [00:55.83]Oxygen is also used in removing toxic waste from the body. [01:00.85]Quite simply put, the more the oxygen there is in the body, [01:05.89]the more energetic the body will be. [01:08.75]
