Air Quality Is Terrible!

I used to think it was just me, but air quality is in the toilet. If I still smoked I don't think I could get enough oxygen to survive from the air outdoors today. It's even worse indoors with our sealed up houses with no ventilation.

I just wrote an article about enhancing the quality of the air we breathe. Check it out.

One of the key issues one must address when dealing with breathing disorders like copd is staying active. By controlling the indoor air quality with an air purifier you have taken a first step in the right direction. Now you must push yourself to exercise not only your body but your pulmonary system and your cardiovascular system. Before copd this was important. With copd this is mandatory.

No exercise, lose control of your weight, even harder to exercise etc. This is the apathy spiral with leads to death. Avoid it. Exercise.

Post some comments. Maybe we can help each other.

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

• The best blogging techniques.
• How to get traffic to your blog.
• How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

Breathing Disorders | Upper Respiratory Tract

If external factors are all about the quality of the air we inhale, then the upper respiratory tracts is all about the quantity of air we inhale. What I mean here is that when we get:

• swollen nasal cavities
  
• sinus infections
• allergies
• infected adenoids
• allergic reactions which clog up our nasal cavity with phlegm.
• poor air quality causes inflammation in our nasal cavity.

I mean anything which restricts or constricts our breathing passages, we have reduced our ability to bring oxygen to the alveolus for exchange with the carbon dioxide in our blood. We must strive to enhance any good factors and minimize or eliminate any negative factors in our upper respiratory tract.

• nostrils
• nasal cavity
• pharynx
• larynx

More discussion in this article.

Whether it is quality or quantity, if you want to fight a breathing disorder like copd, then you had better resign yourself to minimizing the negative and enhancing the positive factors.

Just Quit Smoking - Hypnosis

By now you should realize that after 40 years of smoking, I am angry at myself for being so gullible. It took me 40 years to realize I was being taken for a sap. Now my reward is Copd and severe emphysema. To temper the severity of that reward, I had to lose weight and start an exercise program. I still have 10-15 pounds to lose and I must increase the exercise up to a least two 10 minute sessions daily. Don't worry about me, I'll do it. The point here is to worry about you.
This post will address hypnosis as a quitting smoking strategy.
We are led to believe by traditional medicine and the pharmaceutical companies that the difficult to break smoking habit is the result of a a chemical dependence: nicotine addiction. Withdrawal from this chemical, physical dependence is the source of the very intense cravings for the next cigarette. Once again we are being mislead.
Using hypnosis as the quitting strategy completes reveals the deception. When 94% of the clients quit smoking without withdrawal after a single session of just one hour, one must conclude that the root dependency is mental habits, not physical dependency.

With the cost of cigarettes today at about $3.00 per pack, the monthly out of pocket expense is about $100. That doesn't count dry cleaning costs and car washes. Quit smoking by using a hypnosis strategy and remove all your interest in smoking. For less than half your monthly cost of cigarettes you will be free of cigarettes. It's a no brainer at ten times the price.
