Make Your Lung Health a Priority

There’s been a big focus the past few months on just how important it is to have healthy, well-functioning lungs. If you’re like many people, you take the ability to breathe easily and clearly for granted. Your lungs allow you to do this, and you don’t even think about it! That is why it is important to prioritize your lung health. Your body has a natural defense system designed to protect the lungs, and your goal should be to make sure this stays intact. While the first thought that comes to mind is probably a virus or germs trying to get into your body and attack your lungs, that’s far from the only way serious, scary lung damage occurs.

Here are the top ways to keep your lungs healthy:

#1 Don’t smoke. Smoking is awful for your lungs, plain and simple! Cigarette smoke can narrow the air passages and make breathing more difficult. This causes chronic inflammation, which can lead to chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and emphysema. Over time cigarette smoke destroys lung tissue and may trigger changes that grow into cancer.

#2 Avoid indoor pollutants. There are homes, offices, and other commercial buildings in this area that were built many decades ago. That means hidden toxins could be inside, like Asbestos. Asbestos is extremely dangerous to human health and should always be removed by a professional. It can cause lung cancer, asbestosis, and many other health problems.

#3 Wear a mask in spaces where you’ll be around others. There are germs and viruses that can invade your body and attack your ability to breathe. The best way to stop this from happening is to wear a mask that filters out the oxygen you need from any dangerous viruses anytime you’ll be around other people. You never know who is sick and who is healthy. A chance encounter could lead to breathing in germs that make you very ill and struggling to breathe.

Now is the time to make lung health a serious focus. If you wait until you’re already having trouble breathing, you’ve waited too long. Your lungs will not heal the way a twisted ankle or bruise will. Once they are damaged, the damage could be there for life. This is why keeping germs and viruses out is so important, and well as removing other potential dangers from your home and office.
