Nov. 19, 2024 – We propose that breathing supplements our diet with essential nutrients such as iodine, zinc, manganese, and some vitamins. This idea is strongly supported by published data. So, why haven’t you heard about this until now? We breathe in about 9,000 liters of air a day and 438 million liters in a lifetime.
Unlike eating, breathing never stops. Our exposure to the components of air, even in very small concentrations, adds up over time.
To date, much of the research around the health effects of air has been centered on pollution. The focus is on filtering out what’s bad rather than what could be beneficial. Also, because a single breath contains minuscule quantities of nutrients, it hasn’t seemed meaningful.
For millennia, different cultures have valued nature and fresh air as healthful. Our concept of aeronutrients shows these views are underpinned by science. Oxygen, for example, is technically a nutrient – a chemical substance “required by the body to sustain basic functions”.
