Causes for Respiratory Disorders—
Obesity –Obesity is prevalent a majority of our population, causing respiratory problems in many ways. Obesity weakens our immunity that leads to many other diseases.
Dietary habits – Consumption of fast food & improper eating habits ultimately leads to indigestion & constipation issues which in turn lowers the immunity of the body making a person fall prey to the infections present in the environment.
Air pollution – Air pollution makes our body’s -immunity very poor. It increases the risk of infections & allergies that cause breathing problems and is one of the essential reasons behind most of the respiratory disorders.
Smoking – Smoking has been estimated to cause about 2/3 of all lung cancers and half of the chronic respiratory diseases worldwide.
Respiratory infections are best treated with Ancient Ayurveda—
