I have always been sensitive to air pollution, smoke, dust, pollen and other things that trigger asthma. How can I help myselfwith asthma attacks?


Answer
Do not smoke or allow smoking in your home - Babies exposed to tobacco smoke are more likely to get asthma. If a woman is exposed to tobacco smoke during pregnancy, her baby may also be more likely to get asthma.

If animal dander is a problem for you, keep your pet out of the house or at least out of your bedroom, or find it a new home.

If pollen is a problem for you, if possible, stay indoors with the air conditioner on, when the pollen count is high. Do not run the air-conditioning, whether in car or indoors, on the setting that draws in outside air and cools it. Outside air brings with it pollen, and cool, pollinated air is bad for asthma.

To control dust mites, wash your sheets, blankets, pillows, and stuffed toys once a week in hot water. You can get special dust proof covers for your mattress and pillows.

If cold air bothers you, wear a scarf over your mouth and nose in the winter.

There are a number of highly effective herbal and homeopathic remedies that may be used for the successful treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions. Depending on the severity of the asthma, natural remedies can either reduce or completely eliminate the need for the synthetic drugs and are often used in conjunction with conventional medications as a part of a holistic treatment plan.

Herbal ingredients such as Matricaria recutita and Astralagus are known for their antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, while homeopathic ingredients such as Mag. Phos. and Nat. Sulph are successful at easing chest and throat constriction and soothing mucous membranes while reducing the presence of phlegm in the chest. Used regularly, natural remedies can help improve respiratory health, reduce the incidence and severity of asthma attacks while strengthening the immune system.

What is your opinion? Should I buy a hybrid or a regular car?

My considerations-
Pros: Better for the environment and save money on gas
Con: Gas savings not significant enough to warrant the higher price tag.
I need a new car now, but keep delaying the purchase as I vacillate between hybrid or regular.



Answer
FYI

Toyota makes all Hybrids.


Some Info:
Advantages of a Hybrid Car

There are many advantages, firstly that they save gas. Merging the cleaner energy of an electric motor with the capacity of a gasoline engine allows a hybrid car to save as much as 30 miles a gallon. They are also environmentally friendly, giving out lower toxic emissions compared to conventional gas cars due to less gasoline being burned. It is environmentally friendly, and causes less pollution. Less carbon dioxide is also released into the atmosphere.

Fuel Usage

Nearly all hybrids still need to have gasoline and diesel as their solitary fuel resource although other fuels such as ethanol have also seen occasional use. A number of other hybrid vehicles use hydrogen fuel. Hybrid cars are starting to become more popular in America as more people are considering them as an option when purchasing a new car, but they are still relatively new to the car market. In future years even more hybrids will become available and it is perceived that hybrid cars will become a popular option as people become aware of how they can help the environment and save money at the same time.
