Sadly much of BC is being affected by the smoke caused by the numerous wild fires burning in the province. Excess smoke in the air can cause respiratory issues, even in those who would normally have healthy lungs. We have many natural solutions to help improve respiratory function by opening airways, clearing mucous, and decreasing inflammation.
Here are our top product suggestions.
-
Increase antioxidants—especially vitamin A. Vitamin A helps keep the lining of your respiratory system healthy, so it can help protect it from damage caused by smoke particles.
-
Stay hydrated with electrolytes. They provide minerals needed to stay hydrated at a cellular level and being well hydrated allows all functions to work optimally.
-
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) helps protect the lungs from toxins and can relieve symptoms of respiratory conditions by acting as an antioxidant and expectorant, loosening mucus in your air passageways. As an antioxidant, NAC helps replenish glutathione levels in your lungs and reduces inflammation in your bronchial tubes and lung tissue.
