What about clean air?

Speaking of clean water as we did yesterday, what about clean air? It's hard to come by these days. I live up in the mountains and away from a big city where there are things like smog and a horrendous amount of particles and chemicals that make up our air. Pollutants in the air are harmful and hard on the body as we breathe them in daily. Believe it or not even in our own homes there is pollution to be found and it is a threat to our health.

When we breath, we intake whatever is in the air into our bodies and into our cells. Remember our cells? We want to restore unhealthy cells and produce healthy cells! We need oxygen and we need to breathe so what do we do?

The best we can. Unless you're a rocket scientist and can figure something out worldwide, we keep on breathing - hip-hip hooray! - And go about taking in the oxygen in the air we have available to us. Oxygen will invigorate and energize your cells along with what is known as cell metabolism.

Keep in mind that raw fruits and vegetables are oxygen-rich foods and we need to be eating our veggies! The lungs need to be filled with fresh air and not starved. Taking deep breaths and exercise is good for you. Purposely throughout your day take time to breath in deep and hard and then expel that breath slowly. It will wake up your brain cells better than any caffeine drink will! With enough oxygen you will also find that disease and sickness can become more manageable and your body is more at rest. Do all you can to breath easy and get out in the fresh air with some invigorating exercise and smile... don't just watch others at work and play through a window pane. Snow or shine the weather is fine for some fresh air on a daily basis. All this and you're a healthier you!
