"One of the key players in lung health is the vagus nerve. When the lung ex- In the beginning? The Old Testament banned Jews from saying the name of God. In fact, the name itself-Yahweh-was nearly unpronounceable. But some argue that without realizing it, the first and last breaths (and many of the other ones in between) that we take in life are actually the name of God.

Particles from the polluted air that are too small to be filtered out by the cilia travel deep into the lungs." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F.

YOU Tip: Take Ten. Lie on your back flat on the floor, with one hand on your belly and one hand on your chest. Take a deep breath in-slowly. Lying on the floor at first when you practice is important, because if you stand up, you're more likely to fake a deep breath by doing an exaggerated chest extension, rather than letting it fill up naturally. Imagine your lungs filling up with air; it should take about five seconds to inhale." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F.
