Pulse Oximeter?

Cooking with Willy would go amiss if occasionally Willy did not talk about healthy eating and about trying to promote good health.  That leads to the idea that many people today have a need to monitor their oxygen.  What you say?  Yes, this is dictated by people having asthma COPD and other lung or breathing issues that cause a need to monitor your oxygen as easily and as accurately as possible.  Even athletes who exhaust themselves find that this is a good thing to do.

Well, how do you do this.  This is where the device called a pulse oximeter  comes in handy.  This is a simple looking device that does an amazing thing.  You can simply put this on your finger and you can monitor your oxygen.  Simple but accurate and a device that gives you that knowledge and comfort that you need if you have that reason to know your oxygen level.


Willy is thinking that this might be a great tool if he gets to eating to fast and passes out.  Willy could then take that pulse oximeter and check and see if he passed out due to lack of oxygen.  Kidding aside, it is important to do this monitoring for many people and the best way to do that is with a pulse oximeter.  


So, something that Willy knew nothing about when his research started is now something that Willy thinks he would like to have.
