Biological Systems Maintenance
SPIRUZYME R is a food supplement with a potent synergetic blend of Spirulina Filipina powder, Sodium Ascorbate (as Vitamin C) and Serratiopeptidase (or Serrapeptase), a Proteolytic Enzyme isolated and extracted from Serratia, a “harmless type of bacteria” that mainly benefits the respiratory and sinuses system.Â
In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a new air quality model that revealed approximately 92% of the entire world’s population lives in places where the air quality exceeds the WHOs limit on particulate matter. And that’s just outside, indoor air pollution is a whole separate issue that is also increasingly problematic.
In February 2017, BBC reported that the number of deaths attributable to air pollution nearly doubled. Data from the Global Burden of Disease Project has revealed that the number of deaths from air pollution has actually reached some 5.5 million annually.
According to the research, air pollution causes more deaths than malnutrition, obesity, unsafe sex, alcohol and drug abuse. The Global Burden of Disease project ranks air pollution as the world’s fourth risk for mortality.
A 2012 review published by the Journal of Toxicology notes that numerous studies have linked air pollution to diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), Strokes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and neuro-developmental disorders.
The researchers write in their conclusion, “Air pollutants have been, and continue to be, the major contributing factors to chronic diseases and mortality, thereby dramatically impacting public health”.
Respiratory diseases are among the most common acute and chronic diseases worldwide. They occur in all societies, regardless of their level of development, and are frequent among all age groups and sectors of the population. The overall incidence has increased in recent decades due to a rapid increase in risk factors such as:
Population growth and urbanization (more frequent close interpersonal contacts favour transmission of respiratory infections);
Economic growth and industrialization in some regions, which increase the levels of atmospheric air pollution;
Deterioration of the socioeconomic situation in many developing countries with a concomitant reduction in funding for health services;
High levels of indoor air pollution affecting large proportions of the population living in rural and periurban areas of the world;
Increasing prevalence of tobacco smoking in developing countries;
The HIV epidemic, with the attendant respiratory conditions that are the most frequent manifestations of AIDS.
Many times, people are genetically more likely to get respiratory conditions, but the work place or environmental exposures could also play a big role. One thing is for sure, smoking is the most common cause of respiratory disease.
Here are some of the leading respiratory system illnesses today:
Asthma
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic Bronchitis
Emphysema
Lung Cancer
Cystic Fibrosis/Bronchiectasis
Pneumonia
Pleural Effusion
Additional Illness – COVID-19
