This week is Air Quality Awareness week. This week is designated to bring awareness and education to everyone. Air Quality is responsible for approximately 60,000 premature deaths each year in the United States alone. Approximately $150 Billion is spent each year in air quality related illness costs. It affects everyone in varying degrees including polluted lungs, clogged arteries, and allergic rhinitis.

Asthma Awareness Day is May 3rd. Asthma is one of the most common and costly diseases today. Roughly 26 million Americans suffer from some type of asthma. These can include nocturnal, exercise induced, cough variant and occupational.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for asthma. Despite not having a cure for asthma it does not have to stop you from living a fulfilling life. Many athletes suffer from asthma but they do not let it hold them back. If you suffer from asthma make sure you avoid your triggers, consult with your physician, and take any and all medications appropriately.
