Intro

Before outlining lung disease fighting strategies, it’s important you understand some basic facts about it, how much power you have over it, and the simple choices you can make to avoid or overcome lung disease.

Facts

. The lungs take oxygen from the environment to the blood, and affect every aspect of health.[1]

. Lung disease comes in many forms, but three most common types are: lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.[2]

. Studies link three main factors to lung health: smoking, air quality, and diet.[3]

. The good news: lung disease is largely preventable, and what you eat determines how well you breathe.[4]

Little lifestyle tweaks can make a huge difference.

Let’s look at those now…
