5 Ways to take care of your lungs

 

How to take care of our lungs?

You take over six million breaths every year. Each one of those breaths is essential to providing your body with the oxygen that keeps every single one of your cells alive. Here are five ways to take care of your lungs and keep them healthy.

 

Quit smoking

The single best thing you can do for your lungs is to quit smoking or (better yet) never start. Cigarette smoking in particular is a major cause of lung cancer and COPD. Smokers have a 20 times higher risk of developing lung cancer and COPD than non-smokers.

  

Laugh more

Like deep breathing, laughing forces more air out of your lungs, which leads to a greater inhalation of fresh air and a higher supply of oxygenated blood.


Make dietary changes

Studies have shown that diets rich in fresh fruit and fish are associated with benefits to lung health. This is especially the case for those who experience asthma, COPD, and other common lung diseases.

 

Stay hydrated

In addition to its myriad other positive effects, drinking plenty of water is good for your lungs. Your lungs have a mucosal lining, and staying hydrated keeps the lining thin, which helps your lungs function more efficiently.

 

Stay current on your vaccinations

Yearly flu vaccines and pneumococcal vaccinations can help lower the risk of respiratory infections. This also means less risk of developing associated lung complications such as pneumonia.

These are some tips to keep our lungs healthy and strong; although nothing like a good appointment with a specialist, will give us an opinion much more successful.
