We are alive as long we are breathing. The breath is proof of life, and the lungs are the organs of breathing. The heart can be transplanted, or bypassed, even stented. The liver can be replaced and so can the kidney, by harvesting from living or dead donors. Intestines can be shortened, stomach can be stapled or the uterus and ovaries removed. But nothing of sort is possible with lungs

Now add the pollution of modern life, the respiratory infection that are so common during the change of seasons, bad posture and a sedentary lifestyle with little physical activity to work out the lungs, and it becomes clear why lung conditions are so common nowadays.

As such it becomes imperative to take special care of your lungs. Asthama affects 20% of the population of big cities. Allergies, sinusitis, long standing cough and phlegm buildup, throat irritation - all of these are extremely commonplace in urban populations.
