Slept better last night but still difficulty at times taking a deep breath. I continue to take my respiratory pack, Ning Xia Red, Longevity soft gels, Myrtle oil and Peppermint oil. A note on the peppermint oil - it is suggested to take one drop in 4 oz of a milk or milk substitute - since I am trying to intake more water - I thought I would try one drop of peppermint oil in 4 oz of water....WOW...imagine sucking on 10 highly flavored peppermint candies all at once!!! It was not painful but oh my....my breath was minty fresh for several hours. So, in order to tone it down a notch I followed the directions (yes even doctors think they know better than the directions and can be proven wrong) and by putting a drop in organic milk it was minty but not nearly the strength it was in water.
Even with all of my supplements and oils and water....nothing can compare to eating healthy. Over the past few days I am trying to incorporate more fruits and veggies into my diet. It is suggested we should eat at least 5 servings of fruit & veggies every day. Many patients I see, consider their diet of potatoes and corn to be enough of a veggie serving; however, the true key to a diet containing fruits and veggies is to have a balance of color. I found a site a few months ago that separates fruits and veggies into colors. By eating a serving of each color each day, you will be able get your 5 servings without even thinking. In order to get my fruit and veggie fill I have blueberries with my breakfast, an apple for a mid-afternoon snack, green veggie with dinner, banana, and a late night snack of carrot sticks. See 5 servings - 5 colors and a multitude of naturally occurring vitamins & minerals.
