The Lungs by Anni Dahms

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

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.
