Respiratory package

When we say, somebody is taking his last breath, we meaning his life is coming to an end. Breathing is a vital sign of life though we tend to neglect it because it is automatic. We don’t have to think to control our breath. But once we control it, we get different feelings. Now let’s sit comfortably, put one hand on our chest, the other hand on our belly. Breathe in through your nose. Let your belly fill with air. Breathe out through your nose. As you breathe in, feel your belly rise. As you breathe out, feel your belly lower. The hand on your belly should move more than the one that's on your chest. Take five more full, deep breaths. Breathe fully into your belly as it rises and falls with your breath. Your breath is a powerful tool to ease stress and make you feel revitalized. 

Do you know that you breathe nearly 25,000 times every day? by the time you're 70 years old, you'll have taken at least 600 million breaths. This is done by our respiratory system. Your lungs are in your chest, protected by your rib cage. Beneath the lungs is the diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle that works with your lungs to allow you to inhale (breathe in) and exhale (breathe out) air. When we did the breathing exercise, the hand on our chest was feeling them in action. When we inhale, You will feel your chest getting slightly bigger. Now breathe out the air, and feel your chest return to its regular size. 

From the outside, lungs are pink and a bit squishy, like a sponge. But the inside contains the real lowdown on the lungs! At the bottom of the trachea (say: TRAY-kee-uh), or windpipe, there are two large tubes. These tubes are called the main stem bronchi (say: BRONG-kye), and one heads left into the left lung, while the other heads right into the right lung. Each main stem bronchus (say: BRONG-kuss) — the name for just one of the bronchi — then branches off into tubes, or bronchi, that get smaller and even smaller still, like branches on a big tree. The tiniest tubes are called bronchioles (say: BRONG-kee-oles), and there are about 30,000 of them in each lung. Each bronchiole is about the same thickness as a hair.

At the end of each bronchiole is a special area that leads into clumps of teeny tiny air sacs called alveoli (say: al-VEE-oh-lie). There are about 600 million alveoli in your lungs and if you stretched them out, they would cover an entire tennis court. Now that's a load of alveoli! Each alveolus (say: al-VEE-oh-luss) — what we call just one of the alveoli — has a mesh-like covering of very small blood vessels called capillaries (say: CAP-ill-er-ees). These capillaries are so tiny that the cells in your blood need to line up single file just to march through them.

But Air pollution can lead to serious respiratory diseases. Air pollution due to the vehicles, smoke stacks of power plants, manufacturing facilities, waste incinerators, furnaces, as well as the indoor pollution are filling our atmosphere with carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. And these pollutants cause serious health problems. Research has shown that long-term exposure to air pollutants in vehicles, fossil fuel emissions increases the risk of respiratory illnesses such as allergies, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to that. People living in the more polluted cities have a higher risk of respiratory disorders and premature death rate than those living in the less polluted areas.

In sub-Sahara area a contagious lung disease exists. It is Tuberculosis (TB), a disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly infects the lungs, although it also can affect other organs. People with TB suffer from cough, fever, weight loss, coughing up blood, feeling weak and tired and chest pain. This disease is caused by the bacteria of TB bacilli and it is spread through the air, when people who get infected cough, sneeze, or spit. But infectious people will not necessarily become sick with the disease due to the strong immune system. The bacteria will attack you only when your immune system is weakened. Whenever people get sick with TB, if left untreated, more than 50% of its victims will be killed. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared TB a global health emergency in 1993. In Africa, with the spread of AIDS, tuberculosis continues to lay waste to large populations. The emergence of multi-drug-resistant organisms threatens to make this disease once again incurable.

How can you deal with TB?

The treatment for TB requires long courses of multiple antibiotics. Doctors will prescribe several special medications that you must take for six to nine months. Treatment takes that so long time because the disease organisms grow very slowly and, unfortunately, also die very slowly. Failing to comply with the medical regimen may lead to the emergence of drug-resistant organisms. Anti-TB drug resistance becomes a growing problem worldwide. Therefore battling against TB highly relies on vaccination or prevention by boosting the immune system.

How to boost your immune system?

•Take a varied diet: the immune system needs a variety of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and proteins in the correct amounts to be able to function. 

•Take regular physical exercise. 

The respiratory system is susceptible to a number of diseases, and the lungs are prone to a wide range of disorders caused by pollutants in the air.

The most common problems of the respiratory system are:

Asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes airways to tighten and narrow. Often triggered by irritants in the air such as cigarette smoke, asthma flares involve contraction of the muscles and swelling of the lining of the tiny airways. The resulting narrowing of the airways prevents air from flowing properly, causing wheezing and difficulty breathing, sometimes to the point of being life-threatening. 

.

Bronchitis In bronchitis, the bronchial tubes become irritated and produce more mucus, and it may be harder for air to pass in and out of the lungs. The most common symptom of bronchitis is a cough, but it also can cause wheezing, chest pain, and a low fever.

Bronchitis can be acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses, and it may occur with or after a cold or other respiratory infection. Chronic bronchitis is most common in smokers, although people who have repeated episodes of acute bronchitis sometimes develop the chronic condition.

Emphysema is a destructive disease of the lung in which the alveoli (small sacs) that promote oxygen exchange between the air and the bloodstream are destroyed. Smoking is the primary cause of emphysema, which makes it a preventable illness. The primary symptom of emphysema is shortness of breath. It is a progressive complaint by affected individuals, worsening over time. Early in the disease, shortness of breath may occur with exercise and activity but symptoms gradually worsen and may occur at rest.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 

• Avoid exposure to smoke and irritants. Wear a mask if you work around smoke and chemicals. Avoid places where there is tobacco smoke or pollutants. Avoid being around things that you are allergic to.

• • Change your diet. Avoid caffeine, which is found in coffee, tea, and soda. 

• • Place your head and upper body on a pillow when you sleep. When your head is placed higher than the rest of the body, you may not cough as much.

• • Stop smoking. Smoking may give you a dry mouth and irritate your throat.

• Use Green World Respiratory Care package

• How does Green World Respiratory Care Package help you prevent and treat respiratory problems?

1. Green World Clear Lung Tea

It strengthens immunoglobulin, activates lymphocytes and kills virus directly. Long-term consumption helps dispel phlegm and relieve cough, enhance lung immunity and enforce respiratory system.

2. Green World Cordyceps Plus Capsule 

It expands blood vessels in the lungs and promotes their function. This product can be consumed for a longer period to alleviate chronic bronchitis, asthma, emphysema and pulmonary heart diseases.

3. Green World Garlic Oil Capsule 

One very effective alternative to traditional antibiotics is garlic. On one hand, garlic works effectively on pulmonary infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia; on the other hand it enhances immune system which protects you from the attack of many bacteria and virus.
