Today’s time echoes with pollution, smog, covid-19, and much more all of which directly impacts your lung and degenerates their functioning affecting your body’s overall health negatively. We could avoid certain things that could worsen it further.
1) Say No to Smoking!
It is not hidden at all that smoking or vaping damages your lungs and increases the chance of having lung cancer, COPD, and various serious medical conditions that could lead to death. Quitting smoking is a way for your lungs to be healthy and for them to function properly.
2) Say No to heavy alcoholism!
Drinking too much alcohol affects your lungs. The sulfites worsen asthma symptoms and ethanol affects the lung cells negatively.
3) Dodge respiratory infections as much as you can!
The risk of catching respiratory infections such as covid could be reduced by following certain measures such as washing hands regularly, maintaining physical distance, wearing masks, etc as respiratory infections show severe symptoms and could be the cause of death.
4) Say No to these foods!
Diet has always played a major role in one’s health. Consumption of certain foods such as processed meats is linked with causing inflammation and stress to the lungs due to nitrites used in preserving them. Sugary drinks or having too much salt makes one more prone to bronchitis, or flare-up asthma attacks.
5) Dodge dangerous chemicals!
People who work in industries such as the asbestos industry that expose them to toxic chemicals and metals should take appropriate precautionary measures to reduce their risk of lung damage and maintain their healthy functioning.
6) Air pollution
Though it is inevitable in today’s world. One could take small measures such as installing an air filter indoors, prohibiting smoking inside a closed space such as your house, and being indoors if the air quality index is extremely polluted outside as all of it damages your lungs making them weak and making you vulnerable to respiratory disorders.
These are some of the things that need to be avoided as they weaken your lungs and deteriorate the functioning of the lungs to their full capacity.
