Summertime and the living is
easy. So breathe in that fresh summer
air and enjoy it. Sadly too many
Kentuckians don’t get to enjoy the
comfort of easy breathing. Whether
through allergies, smoking, asthma,
or one of the many other lung
diseases, they do not get the luxury
of the calm breath that we all take for
granted.
In this issue we look at lung
health and ask what we can all do
to ensure better breathing. Articles

offer tips on what triggers to avoid
if you suffer from asthma, how to
cope with the psychological effects
of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disorder, and how to protect yourself
against measles. (Yes, measles affects
the respiratory system.) We also
tell you how yoga and walking can
improve your health, and discuss the
problems of air pollution and the
poor health that’s getting Kentucky
a bad reputation. And if you’re still
searching for summer vacation ideas,
you might want to consider the
Hilton Head Health program. Read
more in our pages.
So sit back with one of our
detoxing smoothies and soak up
some vitamin D.
