When You Breathe Deeply and Fully You Live More Deeply and Fully
When you pump a generous flow of oxygen into your body, every cell becomes more alive! This enables the four main motors of your body – the heart, lungs, liver and kidneys – to operate and perform better. Your miracle-working bloodstream purifies and cleanses every part of the body, including itself. This eliminates toxic wastes as Mother Nature planned and fuel (food) and vital oxygen are carried to every cell in your body.
With ample oxygen your muscles, tendons and joints function more smoothly. Your skin becomes firmer and more resilient and your complexion clearer and glowing. You will radiate with greater health and well-being!

Super Deep Breathing Improves Your Brain
The person who breathes deeply and fully thinks more clearly and sharply. Oxygen stimulates your logic and intelligence. The more deeply and fully you breathe, the greater your power of concentration and the more your creative mind will assert itself. You will also develop greater extrasensory perception within your body, especially the brain. Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, CA, now know that adults do generate new brain cells in the hippocampus, an area in the brain which is responsible for learning and memory. Deep breathing nourishes and fine-tunes the brain and entire body!

The Lungs Are Nature’s Miracle Breathers
Every animal extracts oxygen from the environment in which it lives. Through their gills, fish extract oxygen from water (H2O). Insects get oxygen from the air through alveoli or air cells in individual openings set in segments of their bodies. Worms and other invertebrates breathe through the pores of their skin.
Vertebrate animals, including the human race, have those miracle mechanisms – the lungs. The mechanical equivalent would be a pair of bellows, though the lungs are far more intricate and adaptable.

You Have Lungs – Fill Them Up
Each lung sits perfectly enveloped in a protective elastic membrane, the pleura, whose inner layer is attached to the lung and whose outer layer forms the lining of the thoracic cavity inside the rib cage. One end of each rib is attached to the spinal column, but the front of the rib cage is open. This allows the lungs to expand and contract. When you breathe deeply, filling every air sac, your thoracic cavity expands as your lungs fill with six to ten pints of air. This varies according to body build and size. Lungs occupy from 200 to over 300 cubic inches.

Live Longer Breathing Clean Air Deeply
We advise those who live, work, etc. in smog-ridden, polluted cities to obtain a good air filter. We especially recommend filters which contain charcoal and a high efficiency particulate HEPA air filter. The charcoal removes most of the chemicals and the HEPA filter removes most of the particles. To be effective in an average room, the flow rate through the filter should be over 200 cubic feet of air per minute. The wise motorist will also install an air filter in his car for cleaning the air while driving in airpolluted cities. Auto stores and catalogs usually stock them.

Stop Smoking – Save Your Lungs and Life
With all these nearly inescapable health hazards, smog, etc, in the world to overcome, it’s incredible that millions of people harm their lungs even more by inhaling deadly tobacco smoke into their lungs.
Nicotine is poison! It immediately affects lung function and constricts your cardiovascular system. It destroys vitamin C, which is vital to your health and immune system. After only 12 hours of not smoking, nicotine blood levels fall and the heart and lungs begin healing. If you smoke, please stop now and be loving to your body.

Teens Talk About Stopping Smoking
Ex-smoking teens testify that life is better, self-esteem higher and hope and joy for the future more profound after they quit smoking. Often these unfortunate children begin smoking before they are old enough to appreciate their hard-working lungs. They begin filling their miracle breathing lungs with health destroying tobacco when they are 16, 14 and even 10 years old! Stan B. recalls, “I started smoking when I was 12, to look cool.” Susan W. Says, “I smoked 2 packs a day from the time I was 16.”
As horrifying as these stories are, we can take heart from these youngsters and learn a lesson from their resiliency. Though they are young and the challenge they face is difficult, many teen smokers are winning the battle against the smoking habit – and feeling healthier and happier as a result! When it comes to quitting, Stan

DEADLY SMOKING FACTS!
Tobacco use and also second-hand smoke will eventually kill over one fifth of the population now living in the developed world: about 250 million.
Of the 50 million Americans who smoke, one third to one half will die from a smoke-related disease and all will reduce their life expectancy by an average of nine years.
Smoking acts as either a stimulant or a depressant – depending upon the smoker’s emotional state.

What Deadly Smoking Does to You And Those Around You
When people inhale deadly tobacco smoke into their miracle lungs, the protective cilia hairs filter out much of the smoke’s harmful substances before it is exhaled. This means that while harmful toxins are trapped in the delicate linings of the smokers’ lungs, fewer of these toxins are re-released into the air for others to breathe in. However, between a smoker’s deadly puffs, the cigarette burns directly into the air. This smoke is known as “secondhand, side-stream” smoke, but it should be called “direct” smoke. Smoke that burns directly into the air is completely unfiltered and more deadly than the smokers’ smoke! Stay away from all deadly smoke!

Colds Clean Out Mucus and Toxins
Any one day in winter, over 30 million Americans suffer with a bad cold. Adults average five to six colds per season, while children and teenagers often get double that amount. The body wants the toxins out!
Are these colds necessary? How do people catch cold? What causes the common cold? Medical science has learned how to control many diseases that are far more serious, but remains baffled by the common cold. Is the culprit an unfiltered virus? Is it brought on by sitting in a draft, getting chilled, or getting one’s feet wet, as is often suggested by mothers through the ages?
