DID YOU KNOW there are vitamins for lung health that can restore the lungs and make them healthy or healthier again! In addition to vitamins for lung health, we need to stop voluntarily putting in the poisons!
About 96% of our nutritional needs come from the air.
Only about 4% comes from the food we eat.
SO it only makes sense that the body’s greatest need is ‘good air.’
The average person takes about 20,000 breath’s daily.
Each breath is powered by our lungs and our lungs are constantly working 24/7.
The body can go 40 or more days without food – about 4-5 days without water – but it can’t go more than 4 minutes without air.
That speaks volumes about how critical it is to get enough good clean air into our bodies.

“the lungs take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. That oxygen is picked up by the blood and taken to every part of our body where it becomes food for the building of new cells. On it’s return trip, it picks up the garbage – the carbon dioxide and other toxins in our bodies and takes them to the lungs where they are removed from the body – IF those lungs are healthy.”
Vitamins for Lung Health
Ginger will help clear lungs of lingering pollutants and you can add ginger to your juice if you do home juicing – or take a supplement. Ginger also stimulates the immune system and protects against colon cancer. It’s said to kill ovarian cancer cells and is a great anti inflammatory. What a powerful thing it would be to your system – to get a little ginger in some form, into your system – once every day or two.
Turmeric – Is said to kill cancer cells and it’s the cucumin there – that blocks the enzymes that promote the growth of cancer cells. Turmeric is in yellow mustard and it’s also good for muscle spasms and works almost instantly. While working with our son during his flood clean up and repair – I can’t tell you how many times he’d run and grab the mustard and just eat 1 TBSP because his hands or legs were cramping so badly. One day I set down with him right after I saw him do this and he was in so much pain – and I said “Let’s time that and see just how quick it works.” Literally in just 5 minutes he was up and working and raring to go – pain gone. IT IS AMAZING!!! And amazing for so many reasons. Turmeric is one of the top 14 foods that protect against cancer. So we all need to add that to our diets daily too. It also improves blood circulation and is a natural liver cleanser. It helps plaque build up in the arteries! Adding turmeric to our daily diet is one of the best overall things we can do for our health. And it only takes 1/4 to 1/2 tsp daily to do it’s magic. Now I can take turmeric in mustard like Kevin does – but I don’t care for the taste of turmeric the spice. SO we take turmeric supplements and we’ve done the spoonful of mustard a time or two also.
Magnesium – OH my GOODNESS!!! I could talk all day about magnesium. It regulates the heart and makes it stronger and does so many critical things for us – but we’re talking about lungs here today and it is crucial in increasing lung capacity. I recommend the Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc combo at Walmart. It’s a hard chalky capsule, so I bite it to break it up so it will dissolve faster.
Himalayan Salt Lamps – Now this one is going to sound like voodoo to those of you not that familiar with how natural things work. But just the simple act of having a Himalayan Salt Lamp in your home – will help to purify the air you breath daily. It’s good for asthma, sinus problems and anything to do with breathing or the lungs.
Last week I bought Kevin and Kim each a small Himalayan Salt Inhaler. I got it for Kevin because he’s been so congested since the flood clean up and he coughs all the time. I also got one for Kim because she has sinus problems and she says she feels like she can tell a difference already and she’s only breathing in that Himalayan Salt inhaler about 3 times a day. I found them on amazon when I was researching reviews of the Himalayan Salt Lamps and the raves sold ME. It’s about the size of a lip balm and is said to really work wonders with lung congestion, sinus congestion and other breathing problems.
We have a choice every single day on any and all health issues we face. We can coast along and feel bad or even get progressively worse – OR we can take steps to restore our health issues. Whatever the problem – you will ALWAYS find me – trying to find something that makes me better in whatever way I’m lacking. How about you?
