From Lung Disease Focus site, quotes: "The use of HEPA, or high efficiency particulate air, filters and air purifiers in the home can contribute to the reduction of pollutants that can be blown in through ventilation systems." (Note: the site has a chart about various types of air filters.)
From greenplantsforgreenbuildings.org, quotes: "Research shows that plant-filled rooms contain 50-60% fewer airborne molds and bacteria than rooms without plants. For almost twenty years Dr. Billy C.Wolverton and his aids in the Environmental Research Laboratory of John C. Stennis Space Center have been conducting innovative research employing natural biological processes for air purification. "We�ve found that plants have been found to suck these chemicals out of the air," he says."
From Diagnose
me site, quotes: "A high intake of omega-3 fatty acids may protect
cigarette smokers against chronic obstructive pulmonary (lung)
disease. Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids may
interfere with the inflammatory mediators triggered by cigarette
smoking. Even small increments of omega-3 fatty acids may have
a cumulative beneficial effect."
"If a person has cancer, inflammatory conditions, or needs to lose
weight, omega-3 should be favored. Otherwise, an omega-6 to
omega-3 ratio of between 2:1 and 3:1 is suitable.
"Flax, our richest source of omega-3, quickly replenishes a long-
standing omega-3 deficiency. 1-2 tbsp per day of good quality flax
oil for a few months should suffice. Cold-water fish (salmon,
sardines, mackerel, herring) are a good source of the metabolites
EPA and DHA." (Note: EFA essential fatty acid oils can also be found in capsule form like Flaxseed oil, Salmon oil and EFA oils, etc.)
