Accepted Answer

Quit worrying: There is nothing wrong with your oxygen saturation. If you do not have any symptoms, do bother checking oxygen saturation. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol in any form. 
Practice safe sex.
