The Lungs
Carbon dioxide is
excreted though our
lungs, which is a waste
product. This process is
effortless with good lungs,
plenty of exercise, and
oxygen. However, if you
lack the oxygen due to
poor breathing, then it
provides a greater strain
on the rest of the
excretion organs, such as
the kidneys, the skin, and
the intestinal system.

One of my old friends, from when I lived in Denmark,
called me with dismay and told me that she had
been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis.
We talked a bit back and forth about what she
could do to live the best possible life with the disease.
Pulmonary fibrosis means formation of connective
tissue in the lungs, so that they become stiff and
hard, this in turn makes them worse at oxygenating
the blood, due to the increased scar tissue formation
in the lung alveoli. It will then become very difficult
to breathe and is often accompanied by severe
coughing.
After the conversation I was left pondering about
how little thought we give to our breathing in our
daily lives, and how important it is to be mindful of
our lung’s health.
There can be many reasons for why you don’t
breathe in all the way. The worst daily enemy is stress
and sitting down too many hours in the day, which
unfortunately is the reality for many of us sitting in
front of the computer, TV, etc. You forget to breathe
all the way in, which lowers your lung capacity. This
increases the risk of diseases, such as bronchitis from
colds. We are currently heading into the common
cold and flu season, which will undoubtedly lead
Our pulmonary function drops as
we get older. It’s not uncommon,
that it would’ve dropped around
40% at around 70 years of age, if
you don’t perform any exercise
where you use your breathing
consciously.

to many lung infections, which
among other things is due to our
unawareness of our daily breathing.
One of my dearest friends died
recently from a lung disease
after working in an asbestos
filled environment for many
years. If you find yourself in surroundings
with a lot of pollution
from chemicals, car exhaust,
cigarette smoke etc. then you
must make sure that you protect
yourself and make a conscious
effort to protect your pulmonary
If you’re a smoker, then
you have to quit, or
minimize the amount of
cigarettes you smoke as
much as possible. Louise
Hay writes in her book
“The power of love” an
easy phrase, which can
be a good way to quit
the cigarettes. You tell
yourself “Any need for
cigarettes has disappeared,
now I’m free!”,
I would suggest you quit
now instead of waiting.
Even if you cannot regain
your lung function, then
you can at least stop it
from getting worse.
function. This is true both in your
place of work and in your spare
time. Regular exercise where you
incorporate breathing exercises,
could be a really good option.
If you are thinking about vacation
and want to be good to
your lungs and in turn to yourself,
then you may want to consider
a trip to a mountainous region,
with plenty of light, sun, and fresh
air.
It’s not just serious afflictions that
occur from reduced lung capacity.
It often starts with forgetfulness,
and/or gray and tired skin.
The diet
If your lungs are weak, then your
diet becomes an even more
important factor, because your
body has to work extra hard to
make sure that you have energy
to cope with everyday life. It’s
important that the body get the
necessary nutrients filled with
quality vitamins and minerals for
the best possible reaction. Think
of the many helpful juices, which
are best to drink freshly pressed
and ecological, such as carrot
juice, grape juice, and orange
juice. Drink them slowly and in
small sips, to ensure the best possible
effect.
Fresh ecological vegetables
has to be a part of your daily
diet. Make lovely salads and
2 www.annisvitalshop.com
use lemon instead of balsamic
and other kinds of vinegar. If it’s
difficult to change your dietary
habits, then tell yourself several
times a day “fresh fruits and vegetables
are great for my body”,
these small sayings can be really
effective when changing your
diet. When talking about good
herbs, it’s worth mentioning
rosemary, thyme, and oregano,
which are all antibacterial just
like garlic and ordinary onions,
which also belong in the daily
diet.
You should also make sure that
you consume healthy sources of
protein. It could be beneficial to
eat fatty fish, a bit of light meat,
nuts, almonds, eggs, and avocado.
You could also buy some
high-quality protein powders. It
can be a bit complicated with
diary products, since some people
has or develops intolerance
to these, which can also lead to
difficulty breathing and coughing.
Some people also complain
that soya products increase their
slime production.
Rid pre-cooked meals from your
diet. These days I often talk to
people who never cook their
food from scratch, which I think
is quite a shame. A lot of precooked
meals are canned or
pre-processed in some way. It’s
then frozen, filled with chemicals
just to end up in the microwave
oven, before it’s eaten.

Use your self-discipline and
avoid candy or at least minimize
your consumption of sweets,
white bread, caffeine, and all
kinds of sodas. Make sure you
drink plenty of water, preferably
2 liters daily and make sure you
have some tasty herbal tees at
home and/or work.
Dietary supplements
• Take a quality multivitamin/
mineral as a base.
• Vitamin-C helps the lungs
and reduces the risk of different
afflictions such as asthma
and bronchitis. Take roughly
1 gram daily for prevention.
If you already struggle with
your lungs, then you should
increase the dosage to for
instance 3 grams. Take the
supplement throughout the
day, instead of just once.
Vitamin-C has many complex
effects, probably more than
we know today.
• Vitamin-E can also aid weak
lung tissue. Vitamin-C together
with vitamin-E makes for
a strong defense and fights
free radicals multiple places
in the body.
• Extra calcium and magnesium
are things, which people
with reduced pulmonary
function is often lacking.
• Take an extra supplement
of vitamin-D. studies have
shown that if you lack vitamin-D,
then it will affect the
lung’s defense mechanism
and the lung’s functionality in
general.
• A lack of vitamin-A can
increase the risk of weak
lungs if you smoke.
• Make sure that you get an
extra supplement of vitamin-
B. You may want to take a
supplement where all the
vitamin-B are collected. We
need all of them, and if you
are missing one of the vitamin-B’s
then you’re probably
missing multiple.
• Colloidal silver can be consumed
orally. It has been
shown that it can improve
destroyed lung tissue. In
addition, it kills bacteria and
protects against viruses.
• The essential oil from eucalyptus
is antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory and can
aid many lung afflictions,
it can be inhaled from a
vaper.
• Make sure you keep your
intestinal system healthy. A
large part of your immune
system springs from this part.
That is why it might be a
good idea to get a quality
broad spectrum probiotic.
You should be especially
mindful of this if you take or
have taken antibiotics.
• You could also take a supplement
of garlic, which
both aids your immune system
and can help if you suffer
from coughing and high
blood pressure.
• Omega-3, perhaps in the
form of a high-quality fish oil,
can also be of great help.
Omega-3 also come in
vegan form.
• Lecithin is also beneficial.
Take 3 large teaspoons of
granulate either from soya
or sunflower seeds. It’s easily
absorbable and aids both
the brain and various different
membranes. It can also
help fight chronic afflictions.
• If you lack energy, then it
might be because you are
missing Q10. Our bodies produce
Q10 naturally, but the
production is reduced with
age.
• Even if there is no miracle
cure, has it been shown that
cannabis oil, also called
CBD (the legal kind, without
THC), can improve the pulmonary
function for some
people, especially the ones
with acute lung damage.
Use the CBD oil with caution
and make sure to get
a pure original oil of a good
quality.
Tips
• If you believe that you
might have reduced lung
function, then ask your doctor
to refer you to a pulmonary
test.
• It’s important to get exercise.
It might be a good
idea to start doing yoga,
perhaps a kind that emphasizes
different breathing
exercises.
• You can also seek different
forms of education, where
breathing is the primary
focus.
• It might also be a good
idea to participate in song
education, either in groups
or with a personal vocal
coach.
• Be aware that many cleaning
supplies and gardening
supplies contain different
chemicals, which certainly
aren’t good for your
lungs. However, there are
many lovely, environmentally
friendly, and effective
options available today.
• It can also be a great help
to inhale the steam from a
warm bowl of water containing
drops of essential
oils.
• It’s also often seen that sorrow
is the reason for different
lung afflictions.
• Louise Hay writes in her little
book “healthy mind,
healthy body” that a plausible
psychological cause of
lung distress is: DEPRESSION,
SORROW, AND FEAR for
receiving life. Not feeling
worthy to live life to it’s fullest.
A new thought pattern
that is great to use is: “I’ve
room to breathe in all of
lives essence, I live life to the
fullest with joy”.
• It’s a great idea to repeat
the new thought pattern to
yourself several times a day.
Pretend that you are in the
middle of a healing process.
Do it over a longer period
of time, and you will start to
see results.
