feeling better breathing fresh air

[Guest guest]

Hi Gretchen,

With a slight retard. Thank you for this most encouraging testimony and for

being sincere - it helps! After all, if we do not manage to

mobilize our moral forces, nothing works.

Now, my question: can pollution (low-quality air) affect muscles? I

feel my breathing in Paris (I live in a quarter with a heavy traffic

day and night) is very shallow as if my body was afraid of letting in

all this rubbish. As soon as I am in the woods, my breathing becomes

deep, I'm drinking and eating the air! and my legs carry me muchg

better then in the city. Do you think lack of oxygen may be the cause?

Or is it just a stress? Or both? I've heard that in Japan you can

breathe in fresh air in special booths…do you think it can be a

solution?
