Pure Air

Pure, fresh air is essential to good health. During the day and while sleeping at night, proper ventilation of our home and workplace insures that our blood will always distribute enough oxygen to every part of the body.

The kind of air we breathe is obviously important. Be careful that you’re not subjecting yourself to fumes, gases or air-borne bacteria from some hidden source. Taking deep breaths during an early morning walk is a great way to oxygenate your body—as long as you can walk where the air is clean.

Smoking not only pollutes the air, but is also one of today’s big killers. Scientific research has established a causal relationship between tobacco and lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and other ills. The body’s addiction to the nicotine in cigarettes makes smoking one of the hardest habits to break. If present trends continue, smoking will kill 12 million people a year by the year 2020.
