Water


Distilled water, is the simplest form of water you can get from the store. It is distilled and purified as in all additives society puts into it are “supposedly” taken out. When you hear about your water not being purified, then one begins to wonder, what about the air we breathe? With pollution going on everywhere right in front of your face, of course you aren’t breathing pure oxygen, the real O2. That is why some ingenious person came up with the idea of O2 bars.
The idea first came around in the 1990’s. The idea is to have bars where oxygen is used for recreational use.” Customers in these bars breathe oxygen through a plastic hose inserted into their nostrils.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_bar), and the funny thing is that these bars were expensive too. One begins to think if I wanted to pay to breath then I would be living in poverty all my life. They went beyond and added flavors to the air you breathed in at these bars too, so you had tangerine flavored, blueberry and so forth. Even though, some people way look at this and laugh, it really can be used in medical field, not for recreational use, “enhances health and well-being, including strengthening the immune system, enhancing concentration, reducing stress, increasing energy and alertness, lessening the effects of hangovers, headaches, and sinus problems, and generally relaxing the body” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_bar). Maybe if they advertised the medical attributes the act of breathing in the oxygen would do, maybe it would catch on more. Today you do not see many oxygen bars around town. I wonder what is next, what other necessary act our body does that can be used for “recreational” use.
