When people smoke cigarette they are breathing in all the secondhand smoke and with bad air it has just making it worse for their lungs because they are breathing in all those chemicals, and they can get all these different kind of diseases from it. After they are done smoking, smoke can stay in the air long. Even mold can affect their health because mold can cause respiratory problems if they consume it or if they are just allergic to it. The chemicals that people use to clean their house can affect them if they are not careful because it can get in their body and mess up their breathing.

Immunity is a condition of being able to resist a particular disease by counteracting the substance that produces the disease. Living in crowded cities, traveling in airplanes, and spending time in daycare centers and schools people are more expose to germs than in the past. How do we protect and enhance our immune system? It is quite simple we have to change our lifestyle by doing healthy lifestyle practices like washing our hands before cooking and cook meats thoroughly. Do not smoke because smoking can lead to lung damage and cancer. Eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, in whole grains, and non-saturated fats. Get regular physical activity and maintain a healthy weight. Maintain and control blood pressure. Consume alcohol in moderation. Get sufficient sleep to feel rested and less stress. Get regular medical checkups (Alive, 2013). It is also a great idea to know and experiment with natural products to enhance immune function. For example Chinese mushrooms act as tonics; they are believed to increase resistance to all kinds of stress and to extend longevity (Hadassah Medical Organization, 2013). Strengthening the immune system is a challenge, but to achieve optimal health for the entire body is
priceless.
