The Air We Breathe

With every breath you maintain life. God breathed life into us in the very beginning. He has also set everything into place throughout the universe, including Earth, so that life can exist. It is our responsibility to tend and care for the Earth, our garden spot, and ourselves.

Unconsciously we are breathing all the time - we do it automatically. We don't stop and consciously think about the next breath we take or the fact that if it's not there we die. We need the oxygen we inhale.

"Oxygen... increases the energy in our cells. It allows them to function more efficiently as they process fuel. Using plentiful oxygen and nutrients, your cells start a "spring cleaning" routine, expelling toxins out through the cell membrane. But with inadequate oxygen supply, your cells cannot function properly. This makes you feel sluggish, tired, and drained." (The Hallelujah Diet, George Malkmus)

Household pollutants and household chemicals can be a great threat to our health. What we breathe in becomes a part of us so be alert of what you bring into your home and what you use to clean your home. Oxygen starvation can cause many diseases and mental illnesses. We need to fill our lungs daily with fresh, clean air. Also, learn to breathe slowly and deeply even when you are resting. A good exercise work-out will wake up your brain and body better than anything else and begin your deep breathing for the day. And, learn to consume oxygen-rich foods such as raw vegetables and fruits. Stop your suffocating and help your body begin to breathe!

Here's to your health!
