Top 6 Social Benefits of Portable Oxygen Therapy
Portable oxygen therapy has many psychological and long-term health benefits, but did you know it can also improve your social life? It’s true; the days of being stuck at home tethered to endless tubing are long-gone. With the Inogen One G3, the social possibilities are endless. If you’re ready to bounce back into an active social life, take a look at how the Inogen One can lend a hand:
Greater independence to pursue a more active social life – The convenience, mobility, and portability of the Inogen One G3 equates to a long-awaited revival of your now stagnant social life. Movies – lunch with the girls – shopping with friends – baseball games – Friday night card games – anything is possible when your oxygen source is portable.- Freedom to attend social functions with ease – Because the Inogen One G3 delivers a continuous supply of purified oxygen, you never have to worry about leaving a social gathering prematurely. With a single battery that lasts up to 4.5 hours and a double battery that lasts up to 9, you’ll have a long lasting supply of oxygen.
- Bridges the gap between you and long-distance loved ones – If being with your grandchildren is important, but distance and cumbersome home oxygen systems have kept you apart, portable oxygen means you’ll never have to miss another graduation or holiday.
- Affords the luxury of global travel – No more being stuck at home with your dreary home oxygen concentrator; trips with friends or family to your favorite vacation spot are now well within reach.  Â
- Saves embarrassment – Social stigma associated with using supplemental oxygen in public is one of the most common reasons that people are reluctant to use a portable oxygen concentrator (POC) for oxygen therapy.1 The inconspicuous nature of the Inogen One G3 saves the perception of embarrassment that may come with using a larger, more noticeable POC.
- Improves physical fitness while boosting motivation – If exercising alone has never motivated you, exercising with other, like-minded health enthusiasts may. With the Inogen One G3, you can participate in group exercise classes, take part in recreational sports, or sign up for a bowling league. The Inogen One G3 makes staying fit and having fun easily attainable.  Â
