Your lungs work hard daily to help you breathe, but daily habits and your home environment can unknowingly harm them. Fortunately, a few simple changes can go a long way in supporting lung health. Tap to read!
Open Your Windows Daily
Fresh air increases ventilation and helps remove indoor pollutants that can irritate the lungs.
Be Careful with Cooking Smoke
Heavy smoke from cooking, especially from oil heated at high temperatures, is detrimental to your lungs. Use a chimney or exhaust fan to ventilate.
Don't Sit All Day
Long hours of sitting inhibit lung expansion. Ensure you take constant breaks to stretch or walk to keep your lungs active and strong.
Wash Your Bedsheets Regularly
Dust mites and allergens accumulate on bedsheets and can trigger respiratory problems. Clean them every week in hot water.
Keep Yourself Well-Hydrated
Inadequate water intake can dry out the mucosal lining in the lungs, making them more irritated and prone to infection.
Sip Warm Water Often
Warm water comforts the throat and moistens the airways, helping to alleviate mucus and breathing difficulties during the day.
