Quit Smoking

No comments
Hola Familia! Do you have a friend and/or a family member that has been trying to quit smoking, but doesn't know where to find resources. Well today, I will be sharing why it's important to quit smoking during the COVID-19 outbreak as well as connecting you to some great resources.

According to a most recent article published by Tanya Lewis, she states, "cigarette smoke and vaping aerosol are linked to lung inflammation and lowered immune function.  And it could make you more vulnerable to a severe infection with the novel coronavirus, some experts say." (read full article here)

As per diem a smoking cessation facilitator, I would like to say, cigarette smoking and vaping can actually suppress the immune system and function of the lungs. Which is why cigarette smokers experience pulmonary chronic conditions such as Bronchitis, Emphysema, COPD, Pneumonia and/or lungs collapsing, cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental health and much more. These conditions are developed over time as one continues to smoke, but some early symptoms smokers can experience is fatigue, shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing and tightness in the chest. With such high risk already due to the nicotine and toxic chemicals, smokers can possibly be at higher risk to be immune compromised. Which is why it's important to quit smoking!

Below I have provided some resources that can help an individual with quitting. 




Pink Full Moon, Prayer and Meditation

It's Wednesday and I hope you are all hanging in there! It's been a tough couple of weeks for everyone as we are seeing new transitions take place. There was also the beautiful Pink Full Moon on Tuesday and I wanted to talk about why it's important to focus on prayer and meditatin during this new phase.

As most of you know the full moon resembles a gift of rebirth that occurs in all forms of life, but we have to ask ourselves what type of rebirth are we giving ourselves in the new world we have been experiencing lately. Listen to this week episode, it short, but empowering to know the diversity of spiritual practice.

I want to be mindful about sharing informative educational resources, but please do not PANIC or be consumed with FEAR. One of the things we should always be doing is simply taking precautionary steps just like all the other outbreaks with Influenza, H1N1, Zinka Virus and more. So, with that said, the World Health Organization has created a great  resource page that is accessible to the public to view.
