What are ways to improve your lung health?
Looking after lung health should be of highest priority.
Along with care for underlying medical conditions by your healthcare provider, it is important to support your functional breath.
For a start, a breath check and a reset to a functional breathing pattern using your diaphragm is the foundation for long term health.
Frequent exercise and fresh air support healthy lungs and active breathing muscles that are able to maintain a healthy local immune defense.
Like all muscles, breathing muscles also get weaker with inactivity as well as aging.
Keeping your breathing muscles strong, eg by combined respiratory muscle training (cRMT) can help improve lung health and to keep the lungs strong and resilient for a healthy life (for more information, go to pnmedical.com).
