Breathe In The Sunshine Today!
Everyone knows summer can be tough on your body, but one part of your body most affected by summer heat is your breathing. This problem is especially debilitating in a summer like the one we're in, when temperatures seem to be breaking records and fun summer days are filled with wheezing and heaving.
If this sounds like your summer, you’re not alone. In fact, three major parts of summer – humidity, sunshine, and general heat – can cause you mental stress and trouble breathing. What can result is dehydration and the potential for dangerous complications if you already have lung problems. (1)
But here’s a secret: there IS a way you can not only EASE your breathing, but BOOST your focus and IMPROVE your state of mind, enabling you to ENJOY your summer and instantly get back to doing what you love outside!
In this blog we talk about how summer affects your breathing, and how you can BOOST your PHYSICAL HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH, and enjoy every FRESH BREATH you take all summer long!

The first thing to know is that summer breathing problems aren’t your fault. In fact, the general air in summer is to blame as a result of longer days and shorter nights. This is because the increased sunshine in summer contributes higher levels of toxicity to the air we breathe.
This change in general air quality can affect people in many different ways, being especially debilitating to people with pre-existing conditions associated with their lungs, as well as those with COPD and asthma. (2)
Although it’s a good idea to check air quality levels and forecasts (stay indoors if possible when air quality alerts are at unhealthy levels – orange or worse), it’s impossible to stay inside all summer long. The least you can do is UNDERSTAND your body, LISTEN to it, and HELP yourself by avoiding strenuous work outside in dangerous conditions. (3)
QUICK TIP: Avoid the hottest part of the day (11-3) when doing outdoor activities this summer. Feel your airways open up ALL DAY the ALL-NATURAL way with GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL BREATHE BETTER PACKAGE! (4)
One of the most debilitating parts of summer – especially this summer - is humidity. And though many people know the word, many don’t exactly know what humidity is. Basically, humidity is a measure of the vapor in the summer air.
For one of the hottest summers on record, you need a collection of the BEST and most ALL-NATURAL products to help your breathing. Enjoy better breathing and better mental focus today with GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL BREATHE BETTER PACKAGE today!
Humidity directly affects your breathing because humid summer air is more dense and thicker than normal air. This can leave you gasping for oxygen to compensate for the increased humidity and associated breathing problems. (5)
Having asthma only compounds problems associated with humid air, as people with asthma already have breathing passages that are disrupted, and air filled with a lot of water vapor (high levels of humidity) is thicker – possibly too thick for your sensitive and smaller pathways. (6)

BREATHE BETTER
The problems with your breathing in summer may actually be a result of your body trying to protect you. This is because toxic summer air and fluctuating temperatures cause your body to fight – for you. As crazy as it sounds, your body is trying to protect you when you struggle by trying to keep your body at a regular and healthy temperature, a difficult task in stifling summer temperatures.
Variables like pollen can also affect your breathing in summer, causing symptoms you may already be familiar with – like wheezing and coughing – to become even worse. Knowing your past breathing successes (and struggles) can help to MAINTAIN GOOD BREATHING HABITS all summer long, and well into summer. (7)
Longer days in the sun can cause not only dehydrated skin, but trouble breathing too. Enjoy better breathing today with GARNER'S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL BREATHE BETTER PACKAGE today!
Staying cool is one way to fight the breathlessness common in summer. This can help to curb the need your body feels to take in additional oxygen to maintain a healthy equilibrium bodily temperature. (8)
QUICK TIP: High levels of summer humidity can cause more resistance in your airways, making your breathing problems worse, as well as the worsening of your COPD. Ease your mind and nasal pathways all summer long with the CHEMICAL-FREE ingredients like eucalyptus in GARNER’S GARDEN 100% ALL-NATURAL BREATHE BETTER PACKAGE today! (9)
We’ve talked about how summer air (pollution) and heat can cause you breathing problems, especially when combined. This additional strain on your lungs can cause heaviness of breath or quicker breathing, and can leave you struggling. But there’s something else summer can cause that can put your breathing in some seriously rough shape – mold.
Your nose can suffer directly as a result, and you can face irritation in your lungs, as well as wheezing and coughing as a result of the film contributed by summer air, which can coat surfaces and cause you breathing trouble. (10)
Another problem with the summer is the constantly fluctuating temperature. This can leave your body struggling to find a good equilibrium and balance, causing your breathing problems to worsen and - many times - appear. (11)
