In the world of high-performance, intermittent hypoxia (controlled exposure to low oxygen levels) is well known for its ability to improve endurance and lung capacity. But at DEPORVIDAS, we want to go beyond sports, because its benefits also profoundly impact overall health and longevity.
🌿 What is intermittent hypoxia?
It's a technique in which the body is exposed to simulated altitude conditions, momentarily decreasing the oxygen level in the air we breathe. This practice, when properly controlled, generates a series of positive adaptations.
💙 Health benefits beyond sports:
🔹 Stimulates mitochondria Improves cellular energy efficiency, key to healthy aging and the prevention of chronic diseases.
🔹 Optimizes the cardiovascular system Helps regulate blood pressure, improves circulation and strengthens the heart.
🔹 Reduces inflammation Decreases inflammatory markers, which is useful for people with metabolic or autoimmune diseases or chronic pain.
🔹 Promotes neuroplasticity Stimulates the formation of new neural connections, benefiting memory and concentration.
🔹 Increases the body's antioxidant capacity Helps combat oxidative stress, one of the main causes of cellular aging.
🧘♀️ Ideal for people with:
Chronic fatigue
Persistent anxiety or stress
Cardiovascular or metabolic diseases
Objective to improve quality of life and prevention
At DEPORVIDAS, we work with personalized hypoxia protocols at rest or during exercise, always with prior medical evaluation.
