Lockdown 595

Lockdown Day 595 - 11 November 2021

Today was cool and cloudy with promise of rain, the smell of rain hanging thick in the air. But only a short drizzle came as the day started.

The smell of rain made me think of the necessity of oxygen for every living thing. Plants use the Carbon dioxide we exhale to make oxygen and water also supplies oxygen to our bodies when we drink it.

Recent research has proved the benefits of oxygen for all kinds of ailments. There are also many minerals and substances to aid maximum oxygen for the body. Also, with age, oxygen saturation in the body decreases because of decreased lung elasticity.

Simple things you can do to ensure good saturation and lung capacity include drinking water, regular exercise, breathing and eating foods rich in iron such as leafy greens, seeds/legumes, beef, oats, quinoa and dark chocolate.

Additionally, you can add plants to your house interior such as lavender and the peace lily. The plants have a high oxygen production pace and also assist in better sleep patterns. If you can't do plants, consider a diffuser to which you can add lavender and other essential oils.

So tonight I offer up a renewed prayer for rain in the district, enough to fill our dams to the brim. I also thank God for the water we have to drink and the air we have to breathe. And I vow to look after my body's oxygen saturation levels. It is after all the temple of the Holy Spirit.
