Can I Have Some Salt With My Smog?

Smog has become a great problem globally, especially in large metropolis areas like China. As the human population continues to climb, smog will increase equally. The more people that drive in the world, the more emissions. This can mean more breathing complications due to lung damage among the general population. Luckily, there are natural treatments for this lung damage that is becoming more prominent here in The States.

Dead sea salt is a natural medicine that is still very new to our country. Countries all over the world have been looking to the dead sea and it's healing properties for centuries. There is a breakthrough treatment that is now available that uses dead sea salt to treat the lungs for the damage of smog. This lung treatment therapy is performed by the use of a steam room in co-ordinance with dead sea salt. They do this by using a small, white cavern like structure lined with layers of salt on the floor and walls. An air dispensing system of some kind is used to dispense dry aerosol salt particles in the air that when you breathe them in, they soothe and heal your damaged lungs

The effects of this treatment are: Promoting the flow of mucus in the lungs, anti inflammation of the airways, and the removal of debris and residual allergens. Anyone with respiratory problems should consider this treatment a must. You can look up this treatment in your local listings by looking up 'dead sea lung treatment'.

Omega-3s: Fishing for Oil

Omega 3's, it sounds like a villainous group from a Marvel comic, but it is one of the single most important nutrients for the human body. Omega 3s have been pushed to the forefront of nutrition companies everywhere with no real explanations to the consumer of it's benefits. With your own due diligence you can find one that is right for you.

Omega 3 fatty acids are EFAs (essential fatty acids). The most popular source is from a dietary supplement that derives it's fatty acid content from fish.

Most companies use different methods in which they purify the fat for consumption. Molecular distillation is the best possible method. Some companies don't exactly make it clear as to which method they use and so you may have to research a bit. A company that is willing to show how well their Omega 3 performs against others is a plus.

Another factor to consider when selecting an Omega-3 is what additives it has. Some companies blend different Omega 3 sources for best results. My favorite Omega-3 is made by Herbalife. Now, their supplement is not very revealing about where and how they got their fish sources for this supplement, and that is a little unnerving. I have, however, used several of their other products in the past and I have been nothing less than pleased with their product line. Based on my previous experience with this company, I trust that they have chosen quality fish sources for this supplement. It is a blend of fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. Another supplement that I have grown very fond of is called Xtendlife. They provide all the information possible to both educate you on their product as well as on Omega 3 supplements in general. You can find all of this info on their site. From what I can tell, Xtendlife seems to be one of the most pure fish oils on the market.

Here are a couple tricks to know if the fish oil that you currently have is worth what you paid for it. Put a capsule of your fish oil in the freezer, if it freezes solid then that supplement has a considerable amount of contaminants in it. Pure fat doesn't freeze. Another way you can tell is pay attention to how your stomach feels after taking your supplement. If you find that you have a putrid fishy taste in your mouth and you are belching profucely from the supplement, it may not be exactly at excellent standards.

Sacrificing Yourself for Yourself

I was online blog surfing, which I seldom get to do nowadays. In that quest I found one of the most interesting blog posts I have read for a while (even in some of the things I have written). It is by a man that calls himself the Urban Samurai. He talked about letting 'yourself' die for yourself to grow. It hits close to home because this same journey is the one that I am currently struggling with. In this post he wrote:

http://www.urbansamurai.com/2012/07/would-you-die-for-you/

A man walks into a room with a gun. And you are there, with your loved ones. What do you do? If you have courage and heart, you step in between that man and the people you want to protect, while you try to diffuse the situation.But the grim situation worsens. You can feel it going there. You can see it in his eyes. He’s about to pull the trigger. Now, what do you do?These are your most beloved people on the planet in this room. A child, a spouse, a parent, a sibling.You step in front. You jump in front. You will not allow a bullet to reach them before it reaches you. I know that it’s not easy, but many people would make the ultimate incredible sacrifice for the ones they love.

What if it’s not a loved one? And it is just a stranger in need. Do you still do it? Do you still step in front? Less people would probably say yes. What if it was a young boy who you didn’t know? A ten year old. His whole life in front of him. A lot of people would shield him from death. That’s a fact.So, you would step up and put your life on the line for a loved one. You might put it on the line for a complete stranger.

Now, would you do it for you?You are miserable. You are depressed. You are in the worse situation of your life. And there is something in your personality that is keeping you there. An addiction. A behavior that you can’t change. Poor decisions that you’re making every day, because something in your personality makes you go there.Would you step in front of a bullet to save yourself? Would you take a bullet and kill a part of yourself, to save yourself?It’s not easy to die for someone else. But it’s definitely harder to die for yourself. It is. We hold on to the very people we are with a tight grip. Even when that same person is leading us into an abyss. Or keeping us down there. We go down with that ship. Our ship. The one we built. The ship shaped from our experiences and our gene pool and our own emotions.Do you place a high enough value on you? Would you die for you? For yourself.

Would you kill the very person you are, to become the person you want to be?That is what it takes. That is what real personal change is. To kill the person we have been, our whole lives. The person we grew up to be. The person we think has it figured out. The answer isn’t that you ‘would’ or ‘wouldn’t’. The answer is that you need to. You need to kill that person in cold blood. To murder him until the only things left are the foundation you wish to build off of. The foundation that is going to get you where you want to go.I know we like who we are, most of us. The self-aware may not, but most of us feel pretty comfortable in who we are. But if things are miserable and they are not changing, isn’t it time to make a switch? Don’t you want to kill that lazy? Don’t you want to kill that insecurity? That fear? Anything keeping you below the surface needs to be dealt with.Step in front of a bullet and take one for yourself.What is your life worth to you? It has to be worth dying for.
