HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM?

          Lets talk about our respiratory system. All of us know how our respiratory system works. Maybe some does'nt know about it...

Respiratory system is a group of organ working together to bring about the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide to the environment. It's organs help us to breathe. It's parts include Nostrils, Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Lungs, and Alveoli. Where the nostrils bring air, where air is humidified and warmed. The trachea also known as windpipe, allowing the passage of , and so is present in all air-breathing with lungs. The bronchi is a two air tubes that branch off from the trachea and carry atmospheric air directly into the lungs. Bronchioles, is the tertiary bronchus lead into the lungs. The lungs is the main organ of the respiratory system where oxygen is taken into and carbon dioxide is expelled out. Alveoli is a tiny sac-like structure present in the lungs, which the gaseous exchange takes place.
     Medulla Oblongata is the breathing center of the brain.

Now, lets make our respiratory system healthy. how?

• You can make your respiratory system healthy by not smoking. If your a smoker, STOP it. Why? because in the future of your life you will feel the irritation of your trachea (windpipe) and to your larynx (voice box), Reduced lung function and breathlessness due to swelling and narrowing of the lung airways and excess mucus in the lung passages, Impairment of the lungs’ clearance system, leading to the build-up of poisonous substances, which results in lung irritation and damage, Increased risk of lung infection and symptoms such as coughing and wheezing, and Permanent damage to the air sacs of the lungs. Do you want to have this kind of sickness? if you say YES, you're wasting your money and also your life. SO STOP DOING THIS ACTIVITY!

• Have an EXERCISE REGULARLY. Working your body for  at least 30 minutes most days of the week (working  hard enough to break a sweat) can help prevent and manage heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, depression and more.  It also helps to control and manage weight and stress and helps you look and feel better. It also make the heart and lungs stronger. Exercise is the only proven method to add years to your life and life to your years – so get moving today, you’ll be glad you did!

• EAT A BALANCED DIET. Specially eat rich in nutrients foods to maintain the energy, strength, a healthy immune system and general lung health. I recommend to you eating foods that rich in vitamin's A,C and E and the minerals zinc, potassium, selenium, magnesium and zinc.

• DRINK PLENTY OF WATER DAILY to help thin mucus secretions that accumulate in your lungs, facilitating easier breathing. You typically lose about 6.3 cups of fluids daily and drinking at least this much will ensure adequate fluid intake.

• Add houseplants to your rooms. Indoor plants can improve the quality of the air in your home by removing chemical vapors that can harm respiratory health. It also makes you breathe easier. Put 15 to 18 plants in 6- to 8-inch diameter pots for an 1,800-square-foot house. That’s roughly one larger plant every 100 square feet. Achieve similar results with two smaller plants (4- to 5-inch pots).
       Remember that for the best success with any houseplant, you need to match the right plant to the right growing conditions.

• AVOID STAYING NEAR THE EXHAUST OF THE CAR. Cover your nose with a handkerchief  when you are near the exhaust of the car because it has a chemical that harms your lungs.
