Nation of Change.Org has a very recent article about companies that are devasting our environment, which of course has a major affect on our health. One of the top ten on the list is Southern Company which is one of the nation's largest and most polluting utilities. It mentioned that Southern Company's coal-fired power plants cause over a thousand deaths (1,224), close to two thousand (1,710) heart attacks, 752 cases of chronic bronchitis, and an astounding number of asthma attacks totaling 20,770 yearly. So today's health tip is natural ways of treating asthma.
First, asthma attacks introduce large amounts of harmful free radicals to your body. You can counteract their harmful effects, which can lead to a number of serious illnesses, by taking extra doses of Vitamin C and Vitamin E each day.
Since asthma is, by nature, an inflammatory disease, you can also treat your asthma by using ginseng. This is a popular Oriental herb that has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used effectively to help manage bronchial irritation.
Use magnesium supplements to open up your lungs' air passages. 500 mg of magnesium, taken daily, can widen your bronchial tubes, facilitating easier breathing and reducing the chances of a severe asthma attack. Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Eating a wide variety of legumes, nuts, whole grains, and green, chlorophyll rich vegetables will help you meet your daily dietary need for magnesium.
Eating fish, particularly salmon & tuna, nuts, seeds and flaxseed oil -things that contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids have been proven to reduce swelling in the lungs of asthma patients as well. I would also recommend adding a fish oil supplement to the diet which can be found anywhere that sells vitamins.
Other health tips can be found at www.ehow.com. I urge you to do a little research on the importance of magnesium, and also don't forget to visit nationofchange.org for more information on companies that are ruining our health. That's the health tip for the day. Here's wishing you happy, healthy and easy breathing.
