DIET
Eat a variety of healthy foods:
Water Water plays a huge role in health and is the base of any cleansing action. Pure, clean
water is essential to keeping blood flowing to and from the lungs. It also keeps our lungs
hydrated and the mucus flowing. It may sound disgusting, but that mucus is important and needs
to be the right consistency for the cilia to move italong with toxins, microbes, and pollutants
out.

Apples Flavonoids, vitamin E, and vitamin C all help the lungs function at their best. Apples
are rich in all of these and those who eat several a week have healthier lungs.
Carrots These roots are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and lycopene, all antioxidants that affect
lung health and lower the chances of developing lung disease.
Oranges Citrus is rich in vitamin C and vitamin B6. These help the lungs transfer oxygen.

SPRITUALITY
1. Allow God to clean your heart and give you power to do the right thing.
2. Loving, trusting and following God in the everyday living as a personal responsibility.
3. Continuously seek and thank God every day for giving you a new life.
4. Commit to do practical things to every person to shown them Gods Love
5. Never allow a difficult situation, a wounded, or a failed dream to stop you from becoming the
person God wants you to be.
