A member asked:
Can you tell me how good is breath one hour of pure oxygen per day ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pure Oxygen: Nature optimized us to breathe air that is about 20% oxygen. !00% oxygen for long periods would eventually have a toxic effect. !00% oxygen for 1 hour is not dangerous, but probably has no health benefits under normal circumstances.
