Personal Well-Being ~ 14 Respiratory Problems
By the Barefoot Medic.
There are dozens of respiratory ailments besetting us in the 2020s+. Asthma, Bronchitis, Covid 19, are amongst them. Breathing difficulties cause a lot of misery and millions of lost work hours each year.
The causes are said to be
Air pollution, from cars and buses, chemical sprays, and central heating?
Yes, you heard me right, central heating!
It seems the humble dust mite is thriving, multiplying, and bringing misery to humans by the thousands. It’s a war. They are wreaking havoc with our sinuses, nasal passages & lungs. How did it happen?
In the 1950s, 60s, and 70s central heating was rare, our rooms were cold throughout most of the winter. Now they are permanently heated providing the dust mites, our minuscule companions, with the perfect environment in which to thrive and multiply.
We need to have good
ventilation to flush out our lungs, the efficient evacuation of air, and its regular
replacement is necessary for health, it's called breathing! Deep breathing exercises are one answer to the problem; if you remember
to do them on a regular basis.
A good and painless way to accomplish this daily is to sing at the top of your lungs. Impractical you say? With a voice like yours? Ah but I’ve thought of that.
Get into your car, wind down the window, turn on the radio, take a deep breath and sing along. You’ll be singing your way to health…
Try it
before knocking it!
Brings back some memories here Len. No dust mites but we did have Bed Bugs, Head Lice and we did have ice on the inside of our windows. It's a wonder we survived. I do agree about the fresh air, provided it's not thick with car fumes. Don't agree about singing at the top of my voice, I'd be murdered within 20 seconds.
