Oxygen was the first element used by humans the most prominent elements in the body are hydrogen OXYGEN nitrogen and carbon. You have probably heard that you body is made up of 65 percent water well you are also made up of 65 percent oxygen. I know that does not equal 100 percent but water is H2O which is hydrogen squared and Oxygen. Oxygen is in water. We need oxygen to live.
