If plants supply both Glucose and Oxygen as a by-product, could it be that they have been our source of nourishment all along?
I am not talking about eating plants. They produce glucose, which is
sweet and desirable by many. That sugar can be addictive too. I am
actually referring solely to Oxygen.
As there are two modes of
cell respiration;
Aerobic; which requires oxygen as the fueling agent,
and
Anaerobic; requiring glucose as the fueling agent, it appears from
my long study that the cell runs on either one or the other, not both.
At least not at the same time.
The consumption of sugar propels
the body to use it up as a fueling source, forcing cells to ferment
internally. This causes a lot of discomfort, especially on the
multicellular organism's life condition.
Lactic acid produced
from fermentation inside the cells is a waste by-product, that must
be moved out of the cells and transported to the liver to be recycled
and detoxified.
Through exercise, from modest to intensive, the
circulation of blood accelerates the flow of dirty sewers through the
filtration system (liver, kidneys) in order to alkalize the bloodstream.
Because we are not eating glucose as we exercise, our body utilizes a
secondary energy production pathway, that of Oxygen and Fat burning.
Please remember, all glucose that was not burnt straight away is
converted into fatty acids, stored in fat cells, and remains there as
storage energy units. That is what fats are.... energy storage units.
They sit comfortably in the cells, without hurting the host. Unlike
glucose which is highly reactive, that is why the body insists on
dealing with glucose's presence in the bloodstream.
Glucose is so
highly reactive, it can oxidize. Just like its brother, Oxygen, that is
specifically related by name to the word "Oxidation". Though, glucose
makes the blood acidic, while Oxygen does not.
Oxygen has a very important place in our diet. Once it had comprised 38% of our atmosphere, today it is down to 20%.
Our respiratory tract is a digestive tract as well. It deals with
gaseous substances, unlike the gastrointestinal tract that digests solid
substances. In either case, the body is able to access nourishment from
the environment.
We can either eat our environment, or breath the environment.
We can either ferment sugar, or inhale Oxygen.
We start planting more trees, so we thrive on Oxygen!
