What I do:
1. Practice slow deep breathing. Slowly fill your diaphragm and then lungs via your nose, exhale slowly via your mouth. At the same time, visualize your lungs renewing themselves, the 3 lobes of the right lung, the 2 lobes of the left lung.
2. Cut down on carbs (bread, rice, pasta, pastries, etc.) Carbohydrates metabolize into carbon dioxide which can severely inhibit normal breathing.
3. Drink organic tart cherry juice, 4 oz. at breakfast, 4 oz. later in the day or after exercise. Be sure it doesn’t interfere with your meds.
4. Inhale aroma of thyme leaves before walking or exercising and as needed.
5. Sleep with your head elevated.
6. Wear N95 mask during high pollen season. Milwaukee brand N95 is great.
7. Drink plenty of filtered water.
8. I start the day with magnesium glycinate, 29% of the RDA, Pure is the brand I use.
9. Avoid inhaling cleaning agent aromas, especially those containing chlorine. Also avoid chemicals in general, especially carbon monoxide and gas/methane fumes when at the gas station. Wear the N95 mask if you must be near/use harmful inhalants.
10. Inhale saline solution after being in close proximity to others.
11. Have 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons of honey if you feel throat congestion.
12. Well-wish for others in need, at bedtime.
I have had no problems since being on this program. We are all different, so I hope this helps you and others.
