More and more reports surface from groups about how the lungs are not adapting well to the air we breathe. The air is full of tiny specks of harmful pollutants.
I know, you have heard me repeat this over and over, but seeing as how data is not just scientific-ish, or doctor-ish, anymore but being recognized by the regular Joe, you know you have a problem.
Why (even after all the hub-bub) do the governments of the World – still only look out for major industrial polluters? We know that breathing this crap (and it is) into our lungs affects how we breath just walking up stairs.
Here is good example –
I am a smoker. Sometimes, I smoke a lot – sometimes, I don’t – just depends. Heck even recently, I tried to quit, but I noticed something of a trade off.
While I started to taste my food better, hearing improvement, and less tickling in my throat, I noticed that it was harder to stand outside or take a walk at a fast pace. Odd. But I kept at the whole quitting…for about another week. See, I know that eventually my number will be up and I will be another case, like any other. I liked the difference but I hated being confined to certain hours when it was “safe” to go outside. So, I started smoking after two weeks and no issues. I still have not figured this one out yet, but I am going to get to the bottom of it.
This taught me though that the air quality – has got to be a lot worse than smoking. So, in the future, I am really going to have to drop it down a lot or suffer more. Now, I ask myself questions like:
Maybe the cigarettes are laced with a poison that counteracts some of the air quality effects? Maybe the cigarettes have a chemical reaction to something I carry in my body to not feel the effects of the air quality?
See, I don’t know the answers – I’m not that dang smart – but I do know how to pay attention and observe. Plus, type in keywords on the might internet and start digging for answers, with the added bonus of drinking teas or taking vitamins to hold off the future of an oxygen tank.
If you notice a difference too, do like I did – not smoking – put that thought right out of your head – try limiting the amount of times traveling is required. If you do go out, make a list of where you want to go first, like a big circle, take a short cut and reduce your speed. That’s one thing to drop the additional pollutants in the air. It is basically reducing the global footprint too.
Another thing, turn off the air conditioner once in a while, when you are at home, or go outside when at work. Recycled air is horrible. After about a week, you’ll notice a difference. Do you sneeze more with it on or off? Do you get sick quicker or less?
Tips and tricks…work differently for everybody! This is the great thing about bio-diversity! We are so diverse that there are no quick answers!
Really – ask any doctor (well, any that you really trust) or scientist. I mean, this is how most of them get funding – from asking questions and going after the unknown. Also, this is why there is so much information out there – but you have know to what you are looking at, from your own body, to get any difference! What works for one – may not work for you.
