Why care about air we breathe?
Air is one of the fundamental elements of nature, yet we seldom give it any thought. Although it is intangible, it plays a vital role in our survival. We often tend to think about our food intake and water intake in order to live a healthy and balanced life style. But how often do we think about the air we breathe?
An average person takes, anywhere between, 12 and 16 breaths a minute. We breathe in Oxygen, a key element that essentially keeps us alive. But along with Oxygen we also breathe in numerous pollutants that are harmful to us.
So, it is important to remember, to live a healthy and balanced life it is important to watch what we put in our body, not just in terms of food and water, but also in the aspect of the air we breathe in.
