Back off! Stop Air pollution

Air is the most important component for us to live so we should breathe clean air. The air that we breathe carries life to each and everyone of us, but sad to say some areas of our world where the air carries not only life-giving oxygen, but also noxious pollutants that reach unhealthful levels, such as ozone, carbon monoxide, fine particles, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, or lead.

Exercise makes us more vulnerable to health damage from these pollutants but during the workout we should breathe clean air. We breathe more air during exercise or strenuous work. We draw air more deeply into the lungs. And when we exercise heavily, we breathe mostly through the mouth, bypassing the body's first line of defense against pollution, the nose.

Our lungs are among the body's primary points of contact with the outside world. We may drink two liters of liquid each day. We breathe in an estimated 15,000 liters of air, approximately 6 to 10 liters every minute, drawing life-giving oxygen across 600 to 900 square feet of surface area in tiny sacs inside the lung but were not sure that we breathe clean air.

Oxygen is necessary for our muscles to function. In fact, the purpose of exercise training is to improve the body's ability to deliver oxygen. As a result, when we exercise, we may increase our intake of air by as much as ten times our level at rest and if we breathe clean air we may be as very healthy as before.

An endurance athlete can process as much as twenty times the normal intake. Mouth breathing during exercise bypasses the nasal passages, the body's natural air filter. These facts mean that when we exercise in polluted air and were not able to breathe clean air, we increase our contact with the pollutants, and increase our vulnerability to health damage.

The news isn't entirely bad. You can minimize your exposure to air pollution by being aware of polluted areas and by following some simple guidelines. Some guidelines that can assure you to breathe clean air are do train early in the day or in the evening, avoid noontime or afternoon exercise, and avoid strenuous outdoor work, if possible, when ozone smog or other pollution levels are high.

Other guidelines so that you can breathe clean air are do avoid overcrowded streets and rush hour traffic; pollution levels can be high up to 50 feet from the roadway, do make sure teachers, coaches and recreation officials know and aware about air pollution and act accordingly and most important, do be aware and knowledgeable of the quality of the air you breathe so that you can breathe clean air!

For a healthy lifestyle, drink beer!

Beer and nutrition? You don't usually see those two words together, but perhaps beer is a bit misunderstood. It may really be good for you when consumed in very moderate amounts and living a healthy lifestyle can be achieved by moderate drinking.

Beer has been brewed for just about as long as humans have been cultivating crops and is truly made with some very healthy ingredients. Those ingredients are hops, brewer's yeast, barley and malt. There are different kinds of beer and each kind has a distinctive flavor and color. Tasting and learning on the different types of beer is as much fun as tasting and learning about the different types of wine.
Drinking one beer per day may be good for your health and one way of living a healthy lifestyle since it has been associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Some experts propose that the folate found in beer may help to reduce homocysteine in the blood and lower homocysteine levels mean a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, lab studies have found constituents in beer that lower triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol in mice and drinking one beer per day is like living a healthy lifestyle since it reduces blood clotting so some studies found that cardiovascular patients who drank one beer per day also lived longer.


Other studies have found out those women who consume one beer each day is living a healthy lifestyle since it improved mental health. Drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages in moderation can also improve bone density.
Of course that doesn't intend that if one beer is good, three or four bottles of beer is still living a healthy lifestyle but its not. That isn't true. Drinking more than one beer or any alcoholic beverage per day can put too much alcohol in your system and that isn't good for you. Heavy drinking has been linked with several health problems and may not lead you in living a healthy lifestyle, so moderation is definitely the key with drinking beer. Some studies also point to one beer per day as being beneficial and can lead you in living a healthy lifestyle, and not drinking all seven beers or more in one day per week. That type of drinking habit will overload your system with alcohol.
The advantage of beer nutrition probably have nothing to do with the alcohol and there are some low-alcohol beers and non-alcohol beers available which offer the same heart-protective effect as regular and light beers. Drinking beer is one benefit that can lead you to a healthy lifestyle.
