How carefully would you pick a hairdresser if you knew that after your next haircut your hair would never grow another inch?
How well would you care for your shoes if you knew you could never buy another pair?
That’s rather the way things are with your lungs. Remove lung tissue and it cannot grow back. Not ever. Dump garbage into your lungs and some of the garbage just sits there. Expose your lungs to toxins and the delicate tissues will eventually break down and scar. Keep on smoking and very soon your beautiful pink lungs will turn into a blackened, torn useless mess.
You can survive with not very much money if you budget carefully. You can go bald as a squash without serious harm. Countless people in this world have only one pair of shoes, or none. Unfortunately for us, having diminished lung capacity means not enough fuel and too much garbage in the bloodstream. Damaged lungs leave you with less energy, less healing capacity, less strength and a lot less fun. Life will leave you in its wake.
Your best insurance is PREVENTION. You will quickly discover that you cannot do a “my bad” to Mother Nature and expect to have your lungs restored. Gone forever.
