"Without the immune system there is no life.
No vaccine will substitute the immune system".
Dr. Igor Burdenko

Use daily habits to repair, prevent and enhance your
body's ability to protect you for the rest of your life.

Let's start with breathing:
Your nose is for breathing. Nostril breathing in and out.
Your mouth is for eating and speaking.

Why breath through the nose?

1. The nostrils are equipped with filters which clean the air
2. The nose warms the air before it get to the alveoli (air sacks) of the lungs. When the air is warm the alveoli are more receptive and functional. Fully functional alveoli boost our memory and immune system.
3. Nostril breathing moisturizers the air which makes the air more acceptable to the body and the lungs. This moist climate helps with elasticity of the lungs and alveoli allowing the antiseptic and antibacterial fighting mechanisms function effectively. Dry air coming in from mouth interrupts the body's ability to kill the bacteria.

Measure your lung capacity with the following exercise;
Empty your lungs (exhale)
Inhale with short staccato breaths counting how many little sniffs you can make. Try for 20 sniffs.
Hold for 30 seconds
Release the breath out and relax.
This is your baseline number - your starting number.
Repeat the exercise at least 2 times more.
Repeat this process everyday.
Note after a week, how you are able to perform more sniffs.
Note after a month, how you are able to perform more sniffs and fuller sniffs.

If you will not be lazy, you can extend your well being more than you have now. You can increase energy and raise your defense system against many diseases, including respiratory diseases. The body heals itself when we support our immune system and practice good habits everyday.
