Know the Ozone Levels!

Breathe Easy be aware of ozone and air pollution when exercising outdoors.
Just because you're not in a big city does not mean you're safe; pollutants can be carried into rural areas. Slow your pace or move indoors if you experience tightness in your chest, wheezing, coughing or unusual difficulty breathing. Additional pointers: Protect lungs with vitamins and antioxidants from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Avoid outdoor exercise when the weather is thick and stagnant. If you exercise midday when ozone levels peak, take it indoors. Avoid busy streets and rush hour to limit exposure to pollution.
