Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy decreases inflammation, oxygenates the entire body, stimulates the growth of new healthy blood vessels, stimulates collagen growth, increases antioxidant defense and releases stem cells, up to 800% more after twenty sessions. Research has shown that HBOT significantly increases the length of telomeres by over 20% and decreases the senescent cells by 10-37%. Research has also shown that a decline in cognition can begin as early as the 30th decade of life and that the brain uses 20% of the body’s oxygen. HBOT increases cerebral blood flow which can improve cognition, including attention, information processing speed and executive functioning. HBOT can also help with physical signs of aging by protecting against musculoskeletal degeneration by inhibiting bone and muscle loss, improving insulin sensitivity, and has a beneficial impact on the heart as aging progresses.
