In research anti-aging approaches, I have come across a few which pertain to augmented breathing in one form or another. They are as follows:
-
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) - In this, a person enters a chamber and breathes in pressurized oxygen. See Are hyperbaric chambers really a fountain of youth? | Popular Science
-
Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning (CVAC), also known as Atmospheric Cell Trainer – As stated in the following link, CVAC involves a person getting inside a pod, where the device generates “precisely composed rhythm-based changes to pressure, temperature and density of air.” There are constant and rapid changes in pressure. See https://ascentadaptation.com/cvac/
Since I am only allowed two links in this post, the links intended for the following approaches will be presented as “replies” to this post.
-
Oxygen Trainer. This seems to be an approach with similarities to CVAC, without the use of an enclosing pod. It also is suggestive of EWOT (below). There does not seem to be much information about it on the internet.
-
Breath EZ (Exclusion Zone Water) – Very little information is available on this:
-
Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) – Said by some to be better than a hyperbaric chamber.
-
Articles suggest that it is actually a low level of oxygen that can promote longevity: I am not aware of any devices that people could use to duplicate this effect; maybe CVAC would, to some degree.
I welcome insights and commentary from readers regarding which approach(es) would be the best to utilize in the pursuit of longevity. Would one approach suffice, or multiple approaches?.

We’ve discussed a number of these topics in the past. I recommend you review these threads:
Use a pulse oximeter to measure spO2 while shallow breathing. Get under 90% and keep it there for a bit. Do it sitting in a chair that you cannot fall out of if you pass out.
Have fun! (Sarcasm).

Just wondering, isn’t that a bit like sleep apnea which is supposedly bad for us?
@RPS Yes a bit ….but without the chronic sleep loss. People with sleep apnea have high hemoglobin due to the chronic hypoxia…that is probably good for aerobic exercise.
