• swollen nasal cavities
  
• sinus infections
• allergies
• infected adenoids
• allergic reactions which clog up our nasal cavity with phlegm.
• poor air quality causes inflammation in our nasal cavity.

I mean anything which restricts or constricts our breathing passages, we have reduced our ability to bring oxygen to the alveolus for exchange with the carbon dioxide in our blood. We must strive to enhance any good factors and minimize or eliminate any negative factors in our upper respiratory tract.

• nostrils
• nasal cavity
• pharynx
• larynx

More discussion in this article.

Whether it is quality or quantity, if you want to fight a breathing disorder like copd, then you had better resign yourself to minimizing the negative and enhancing the positive factors.

What defines the air before we inhale it. The condition or age of our body has nothing to do with these external factors yet these external factors definitely affect our ability to delivery oxygen to the blood and eventually to our tissues and organs.

There really are five external factors:

1. Elevation from sea level
2. Air pollution
3. Temperature
4. Humidity
5. Wind

These are discussed in this article.

There will be several posts and articles on breathing disorders as follows:
-external factors
-inhaling
-breathing exercises
-the trade
-distribution
-the second trade
-distribution
-the third trade
-exhale.

My interest here is totally self serving. I have copd which you know if your have read other posts. I am looking for a recovery strategy.

To date, the medical establishment does not believe that there is a cure for copd. Breathing disorders of which copd is a major player, are the fourth leading cause of death in the USA. No cure.

By the way, the main cause of copd is, how did you guess, smoking cigarettes. Once again big Tobacco dodges the responsibility for the human flotsam it's toxic product leaves behind. Perhaps someone should publish the pictures of all the major shareholders in big Tobacco and their families and children. Let all the victims of big Tobacco know which private schools and fancy subdivisions were paid for with their lives.

I have run across an interesting product while attempting to alleviate the symptoms of copd. It delivers oxygen in short blasts when needed. Personal Portable Oxygen
