sucrose, the nicotine withdraws are and n 5. it's hard to describe, it's a bit like puberty and metal was combined. it's was some tips to help you breathe easier on this week's in good shape. i sure juicy fruit and delicious sweets 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 flows through the bronchi into the obviously where it into the bloodstream by capillaries. red blood cells

didn't bind the oxygen and transport to the furthest parts of the body. 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 of feinting. brain cells start to die after just 4 minutes. oh, normally the lungs inhale and excel 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 creation die the buddha me is shobit again is whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! most people couldn't last for a fraction of that time. we usually only realize 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 lung inflammation. at the pediatric clinic and whistles time, a young patient is waiting on dr. mafia velvet 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, en 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 lawson and cornish law. cosmo is a chronic lung disease that causes the lungs to be chronically inflamed. clashed scientists, it also makes the lungs very sensitive to irritant stetson. what's known as hypersensitivity brody articulated seem to 10 to 15 percent of children have asthma and 5 to 7 percent of adults do tend ality diagnosis on phone of the diagnosis. completely surprised and shocked me at 1st health physician. it took a while until i could accepted law known as i even went to other doctors because i didn't think it was true of a hospital. it was go on when my son runs or tries to play soccer. he's out of

breath. alyssa, also mar. when'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. one does not own it doesn't make sense to approve of patients release when there's a good chance. it won't last open it, then 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 is better in the long run is out the next day at the clinic morrow. when's health is only slowly improving. he practices diligently with the inhaler but his parents are still worried. all they can do is wait with the law and this morning on madeline 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 hard to watch what he's going through. when mag you can see that he has difficulty breathing and that is really tough for us. all silent, listen fixed on faddish morrow once medication dosage needs to be lowered, but not so much that he gets worse. dr. bellville 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 denise. his lungs sound very tight. one and he's already been prescribed an inhaler and with a high dosage to support the problem with the maintenance is that they speed up the heart rate session elvia till that's why morrow and 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

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 counterparts. 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, our 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 parasympathetic 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, forces 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, i'm sleeping disorders. how about breathing your troubles away? sylvia shot mila has been a breathing coach for 40 years. oh, we asked about, did you breathe gum good. she could retire, but she wants to help as many people as possible. do something for their well being

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 part 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 whom who leads a course that helps people quit smoking? for years? 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

but maybe i will. one day mon, according to experts, relapses like wet boots, a common this restricts the, the most important thing is to stay motivated and not get thrown. of course, robert took his hardships personally and that's made it more difficult for him to quit tough listening. 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 on this widow. so tuition clicked on told official from the nixon for to come with the smoke free year comes to a close yoga existing and who but vote both set out to break their smoking habits and the all unfortunately, i'm still a smoker. it would of stone. it's astonishing how quickly the lungs can recover in a relatively short period of time for a wind guard. and then of course, it became pretty obvious to me that living 10 years longer is

a good thing to do from national film, from illinois to no anal youngel. 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 are more effective than going it alone. the average participant is smoke free after a year. yoga existing toughed it out and has a good chance of remaining a non smoker law item. yeah. or is this sort of over the course for a year? no former smokers have experienced things like getting bad news going on vacation. marching 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. who 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. his end up suffering from c o. p

d or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. symptoms include flem and shortness of breath and especially during physical activity. but the main sign is the persistent cough. normally c o, p d is treated with medication, but now there's a new method to combat the coughing and operation case. now take a deep breath and then coffee. very good that. so let's take a look. things are looking better, so excellent. well, hell. campbell, that still coughs when her doctor asks her to. but for years she was played by a constant involuntary dry cough. yamazik washed, it was really severe and the worst 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 bronchial tubes close up and you feel like you're

suffocating. and then you have to try and calm your breathing and people ask me helga boban has c o p. d. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is the term for a group of lung conditions that mainly affects smokers. but helga is among the 10 percent of c o. p d. patients whose breathing difficulties have no obvious cause. the other big, wagner toys, 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 and wheezing, letting them know. 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. fortunately for helga bull bit stefan eyes and 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 tighten and cause coughing and breathing difficulties. helga bobbitt was the 1st patient in the world to be operated on using this method after its original study face isn't beam ok. and when i was on the operating table, i asked enough how many people would be present for the surgery? roughly, probably 9 people. she told me, i couldn't believe it. that was in sit with 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 then come when it was winter and of course cold weather is not great for bronchial conditions, but i felt that my cough had definitely improved the dry cough was less severe, is a light source. helga bull bed 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 reflects increased. tumble, gives me some croft home. a more powerful coughing reflex indicates a lower risk of lung infection and improved quality of life for the patient.
