ah, a film about family? faith, masculinity. of fathers and sons starts april 16th on d, w. i on today's show, 10 year old morrow and tells us about his acute lung information poster i sneezed in. cough to lot. that is stuck. mila shows us proper breathing. make it a social for me, it's about how you handle yourself. come on in and you can learn that with breath work does that you can enjoy life more because you can switch off lots of unnecessary stress, such bundled asha and all that bullet once to finally quit smoking. the cup alicia and sucrose, the nicotine withdraws aren't $105.00, it's hard to describe it. it's

a bit like puberty and metal was combine. it was on tips to help you breathe easier on this week's in good shape. i i'm sure juicy food and delicious suites are very tempting, but our appetite for oxygen is insatiable. only very few people can go without it for even a minute. why is that? we take a deep breath and start the clock. when you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and the lungs are stretched, air flow through the bronchi into the avi ali where it enters the bloodstream by capillaries. red blood cells didn't bind the oxygen and transport to the furthest parts of the almost all cells have their own

little furnaces called mitochondria that produce heat and energy. but they need oxygen to burn glucose. both are supplied by the blood. so trillions of tiny furnaces take oxygen from the blood as the amount of oxygen to please the level of c o 2 increases. but don't worry chemo receptors and the respiratory center of the brain. notice this imbalance. if carbon dioxide levels get too high, the alarm sounds and the respiratory stimulus kicks in. a minute has passed the body now urgently need fresh oxygen. because unlike food or liquids, bodies can't store oxygen for very long. if oxygen levels continue to drop, there's a risk, a fainting brain cells start to die after just 4 minutes.

oh, normally the lungs inhale and exhale 15 times over a minute. so now they'll try to make up for lost time as quickly as possible. ah, it's an incredible feat, more than 20 full minutes without taking a breath that and kristen di the buddha, me a show, but again is whoa, whoa, whoa! most people couldn't last for a fraction of that time. we usually only realized the importance of breathing when we're gasping for air. that happens when people have several lung complaints at the same time, like asthma and long inflammation at the pediatric clinic and whistles i am a young patient is waiting on dr. mafia, bell vault and his team, he was admitted for inpatient treatment due to difficulty breathing. his diagnosis

was alarming. it has to my one that my name is marrow, n. i'm 10 years old and i have asthma. the doctors told me yesterday that i have a lung inflammation. that's why i'm here. asked muslim cornish a little asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes the lungs to be chronically inflamed. clashed scientists esteem. it also makes the lungs very sensitive to irritant 16. what's known as hypersensitivity, brody articulated seemed 10 to 15 percent of children have asthma, and 5 to 70 percent of adults do send a den awesome on fung. mr. the diagnosis completely surprised and shocked me at 1st health physician. it took a while until i could accepted la. i even went to other doctors because i didn't think it was true of us had suspicion, but it was go on when my son runs or tries to play soccer. he's out of breath. the notice also of marilyn's parents feel helpless and hope that medication will work.

the treatment requires him to inhale repeatedly. the 10 year olds, lungs are regularly checked to see if the treatment is working. he wants to go home, but the doctors are cautious. more dismantled, it doesn't make sense to approve the patients release when there's a good chance. it won't last open them. he'll be back in no time and the situation will get worse. again. it will just draw things out. you are staying in the hospital a day longer, isn't better in the long run to so the next day at the clinic, morrow one's health is only slowly improving. he practices diligently with the inhaler, but his parents are still worried. all they can do is wait. mm hm. oh and is monty sons macklin is very brave and i have faith in him. he'll get

through this right, sweetie. who is good luck as a thought. like i said, as a parent is hom, to watch what he's going through. when max, you can see that he has difficulty breathing, and that is really tough for us all scientific, some fathers morrow, once medication dosage needs to be lowered, but not so much that he gets worse. doctor bell bell is concerned. hello. hello. how have you been since my last visit? better doing better already? yes, i need to listen again. also did a weakling danasia lung sound very tighten and he's already been prescribed in halem to him with a high dosage to support the problem with inhalants is that they speed up the heart rate session. elvia tell, that's why marrow in is now getting an i v with magnesium after 6 days in the hospital morrow and is only slightly better. all his parents and the doctors can do is wait. since asthma is the chronic illness,

marwood will likely have to take medication for the rest of his life. but after a few days, his acute long inflammation is gone. morrow and can go home and recuperate his family, took him on a trip to the coast. that fresh sea air does him good and his asthma is doing a lot better and we hope things continue to improve for morrow and stress. it weakens our immune system and makes us susceptible to illness and nervous tension. hot burn, constipation burn out or depression can result. but what does stress due to our lungs and breathing? find out in our next report? ah, ah, yogi is everywhere. have cause for celebration. because through breathing, they've discovered the key to a world we can otherwise hardly control consciously,

our autonomic nervous system. it consists of 2 count of hearts, the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. when breathing in the sympathetic nervous system comes to life, it's an activator responsible for our fight or flight response. for example, our heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar, all increase. breathing out activates the parasympathetic nervous system. it has a calming effect. when we're stressed, a breathing is automatically faster and more shallow, whereas our heart rate remains almost constant while inhaling and exhaling, we can outsmart our nervous system by breathing out longer. then the calming paris empathy, sick nervous system gains the upper hand. exhaling longer allows the heart to beat more slowly. when the heart beats more quickly than more slowly, that means it's able to better adjust itself. this is called

a high heart rate variability, and it means better health and stress resistance. ah, and if that isn't a reason to breathe freely, was his yoga is all well and good. but aside from performing contortions, is there another way to treat back pain, muscle tension, a curvature of the spine, indigestion, and sleeping disorders. how about breathing your troubles away? sylvia shocked mila has been a breathing coach for 40 years. we have still voted to breathe. brown. good. she could retire, but she wants to help as many people as possible. do something for their well being . through more conscious breathing and better posture. play the up and reading

which is bad for his rheumatoid arthritis. nicotine accelerates the progression of the disease. ah, your concession has been smoking for 50 years. the 62 year olds also smokes about a pack a day, even though his habit has been terrible for his health. he was diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent radiation therapy of, of his lung, even had to be removed, but he still couldn't quit. now both of them are determined to give up. yes, if they aided by psychologist caught in fits home who leads a course that helps people quit smoking? for a yes, smokers receive support via telephone e mail and group meetings. it's an effective approach. we hooked up with diesel. charlotte want to ship support while trying to quit smoking as crucial medication isn't enough by itself. and few people can manage to transition to a smoke free lifestyle on their own, especially since it normally takes about

a year to kick a smoking habit. as what is what's your personal support is the main thing that we provide fuck to ohio don't among a bold. nevertheless, relapse is a common 4 year plan. the most common reasons all white gain and personal problems and setbacks. but for now, at least the focus is on quitting. after 10 days you can say thing is still going strong. his biggest height is against his own habits. he normally has a cigarette and coffee as part of his daily routine. good. okay. one thing i didn't have any clever ideas about what to do about it until i realized i needed to take myself out of the situation and get out of the house that i needed to hop in my car and go somewhere and fall to his older lives who informed her, who but boards on the other hand, rituals onto his biggest problem, but his urge to smoke is still stronger than yearnings or the tough alicia and

sucrose, the nicotine withdraws are turned by him. it's hard to describe her. it's a bit like puberty, n menopause combined was um, it's the half way point in the course. what changes of participants under gone after 6 months, their bodies are more fit and they no longer have smokers. cough their risk of having a heart attack has already decreased. it been forward. i'm convinced that smoking is the biggest preventable health risk. i believe that i can really make it clear to participants that a lot is up to them and that they can take their health into their own hands with the students who couldn't. after 6 months, your concession is still not smoking, but whole but bought didn't last. he held out for 3 months until his rheumatoid arthritis got worse. despite not smoking, he has back pain and very little energy. his addiction was stronger than his desire to quit. okay. oh, it's a battle i can't win. now comes to like maybe i will. one day mom. according to

experts relapse is like wet boots, a common this re 60 is the most important thing is to stay motivated and not get thrown off. course upon robin took his hardships personally and that made it more difficult for him to quit tough position and he just had too many bad things happen at once. but i think that once his life stabilizes again, he'll be able to give it another try. i'll with him under 3 little tuition clicked on, told of the shell from the nixon. fossil from the smoke free year comes to a close yoga existing and who but vote both set out to break this smoking habits and we can all unfortunately, i'm still a smoker. of stone, it's astonishing how quickly the lungs can recover in a relatively short period of time. oh, when cold. and then of course it became pretty obvious to me that living 10 years longer is a good thing to little comfortable,

soon. all in all you both had repeatedly tried quitting on their own after a year in the course. one thing is claire, it's easier with support from other people. studies have shown that group methods, the more effective than going it alone. the average participant is smoke free after a year. you existing toughed it out and has a good chance of remaining a non smoker law item. yeah. is this sort of over the course for a year? no former smokers have experienced things like getting bad news and we're going on vacation, matching the sunset, celebrating birthdays and christmas without smoking data. as a result, they have some new smoke free memories, making it easier for them going forward. oh, but boat is also determined to give a smoke free life. another chance that he was able to last a few months demonstrates that he too is capable of giving up smoking for good or many smoke is end up suffering from c o. p. d or chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease. symptoms include flame and shortness of breath, especially during physical activity. but the main sign is the persistent cough. normally c o, p d is treated with medication, but now there is a new method to combat the coughing and operation t. now take a deep breath and then cough there was a very good that. so let's take a look. things are looking better with excellent cool. hel campbell, that still coughs when her doctor asks her to. but for years she was played by a constant involuntary dry cough yeah. was yes, it was really severe and the west of it was when i got up early, i couldn't settle down. the thing about to dry cough is that it's such a strain that it makes the broncho tubes close up and you feel like you're suffocating. then you have to try and calm your breathing and which will atman

helga boban? has c o. p. d. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the term for a group of lung conditions that mainly affect smokers. but helga is among the 10 percent of c o. p. d. patients whose breathing difficulties have no obvious cause. the up big of running out the lease. there are sensory nerves in the respiratory tract, him about the nerve impulses make the respiratory muscles, graham bob, which causes a narrowing of the airways and coughing. we huang them, basically it's an acute condition affecting the lungs of a seal pd patient in a way that is comparable to health circulatory problems affect someone with heart problems. and lucille, fortunately for helga bull bit stefan eisen, mon is not only a lung specialist, he's also one of just a few doctors in the world using a new surgical method to treat acute respiratory problems. a bronco scope is

inserted into the lungs. it has an electrode catheter. the catheter delivers heat to certain nerve structures and the lungs and destroys them. the nerves that have been destroyed with the help of this method are shown in black . the respiratory tract muscles now no longer tightened and caused coughing and breathing difficulties. helga boban was the 1st patient in the world to be operated on using this method after its original study face isn't beam ok when i was on the operating table. i austin us. how many people would be present for the surgery? roughly, probably 9 people. she tells me, i couldn't believe it. that was, since it was something so special, there were a lot of people that on the idiocy elsie and some of them had come from far away.

just to observe the procedure of the 77 year old bobbitt made a speedy recovery after the surgery. but how effective was it doesn't come when it was winter and of course cold weather is not great for broncho conditions, but i felt that my cough had definitely improved the dry cough was less severe. is a light source helga bowl, but still has to go for regular checkups and ultrasound allows her doctor to check her lungs entered diaphragm. okay, now comp vigorously. okay. you can see that the diaphragm contracts upward towards the chest when the patient coughs over and after the surgery, we can see that the cough reflex increased. uncle gives me some profit home. a more powerful coughing reflex indicates a lower risk of lung infection and improved quality of life for the patient.
