I watched every one swimming like a fish, young and old, and here I was gasping for air. My lungs were in pretty bad shape. A few strokes and I had to stop and gasp for air. While wiping the water away from my face, I saw an elderly lady walking along the side of the pool. She was heading for the deep end to do the lane swim. I watched her for ages, she walked down the steps into the pool. Took her position, pulled down her goggles and off she went. Strong but gentle strokes, I watched this elderly women swim 6 laps. It took me that long to recover between a few strokes. Here I was, years younger than her with lungs of what I considered to be for someone more senior to me, and their she was an elderly lady with the lungs of what I would consider of some one years younger than her.
Thanks to this amazing elderly lady I was even more determined to become asthma free. I needed to do something else, but what? I went back to the books. Reading and searching for an answer. I became very serious with the diet change and very serious about exercising my lungs. Swimming, steam and sauna, power walking, running for the bus, I got rid of the car for financial reasons and found myself walking every where. I used the stairs instead of the escalators. Raising my awareness on reading books on asthma, on diet and lifestyle changes, on the latest research findings, I eventually started to explore the use of herbs for asthma.
