In constant quest
for clean air |
|
By Perry Gil
S. Mallari
AIR is life. A
man could go on living for forty days without food and roughly about
three days without water but he will surely die without air in just
a matter of minutes.
The quality of
air a person breathes is essential in the maintenance of optimum
health but a lungful of clean air had become a luxury nowadays due
to the increasing presence of vehicular emissions, toxic exhaust
gases and other forms of pollutants in the atmosphere. Research has
established that the balance of positive and negative ions is the
reason behind the purity of air in refreshing environments such as a
forest. Unfortunately, in an urban setting, contaminants upset such
delicate equilibrium making a gasp of clean air a rarity.

Hair matters
|
|

that the brain often sees physical shorthand to the soul is not an

associated with trustworthiness, sincerity, or influence.

courtship
