Healthful Solutions to Air Pollution
How can you supply your lungs, your blood and your whole body with clean healthy oxygen in this modern era of air pollution? Oxygen, our invisible staff of life, is the great purifier and detoxifier, the body’s basic life force.
First you must protect and strengthen your nose and sinuses, your lungs’ first line of defense. Don’t drink or eat any dairy products, for they increase mucus production and cause airway passages to swell. These conditions hinder your nose’s ability to filter the air you breathe, which is needed to protect your lungs and health. Take care of your nose, sinuses and health! Also develop powerful lungs that can withstand the challenges of polluted air!
Do your Super Power Breathing Exercises in the early a.m. when air is cleaner and less contaminated.
If you live in a smoggy area (moving is best when possible) it’s important to install the best Hepa air filters available – particularly in rooms you sleep, exercise and work in; even have one in your car. Learn how to clean the filters and replace the pads so that they are always clean, washed and able to cleanse and purify the air. Buy filter pads in long strips and cut them to fit.
Fortify yourself internally with a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement, ample vitamin C and especially vitamin E (natural d-alpha mixed tocopherols), the body’s oxygen protector. One of the vital functions of vitamin E is to regulate the use of oxygen by the body’s cells. This helps assure that your life-giving oxygen is properly utilized for essential energy and that a reserve is retained in the red corpuscles for use when extra effort is needed. According to documented medical research, vitamin E helps increase the energy potential of all the oxygen you breathe by an amazing 25% to 50%!
