L ungs are usually taken for granted by us however they keep us well and alive.

Most of us prioritize getting healthier and health of lungs rarely cross our minds. Now it’s the need of the time that we change it! Rate of lungs diseases and respiratory ailments is much more in number than we assume. www.PlanetAyurve

Graph of deaths from respiratory disease is growing with every passing day. You must keep in mind that, just like every other organ, i.e. heart, muscles, joints etc. your lungs also age with time. Strength and flexibility of the lungs are lost with time, making breathing difficult.

www.PlanetAyurve

The environment now is not as healthy and clear like previous times. Raised level of pollutants in the air makes it tough for the lungs to work and gradually causes decline in their function

www.PlanetAyurve

So it is the need of time to pay attention towards lung health and prevent it from future hazards. In this article we will be learning about 12 everyday habits and life choices that can make difference and help you prevent from various lung diseases.

1. Say No to Smoking Smoking increases the risk of various lungs diseases and lung cancer as it damages the lungs hugely.

www.PlanetAyurve

Smoking material contains certain carcinogen and other toxins which are released by their combustion and damage the lungs.

Never Smoked – Great !

Still Smoking – Its Never Too late, Quit now! www.PlanetAyurve

2. Exercise Without Fail Other than to quit smoking, exercise is one of the most important thing that you must follow regularly to keep your lungs healthy. Along with body, exercising keep your lungs in shape too. www.PlanetAyurve

This is because while exercising your lungs also work out as when you exercise your muscles need more oxygen, heart beats faster and to fulfill this need your lungs work harder. Building up strength of lungs prevent various diseases and aging.

3. Keep House Clean Try to keep house clean as dust, pollen, pet dander, mould, construction material, air fresheners and dust can pose risk to lungs if remain for long time. www.PlanetAyurve

Avoid using products present in aerosol form like certain hair spray and room fresheners.

Also always use exhaust fan while cooking.

4. Minimize the Outdoor Air Exposure As we all know about the degraded level of quality of the air presently. Numerous air pollutants and microbes are present in outside air whose long exposure can make you very sick. www.PlanetAyurve

Minimizing the exposure can help to certain level or you should use mask while going out that prevents the exposure to these toxic substances.

5. Wash Hands Regularly Washing hands regularly helps in keeping germs at bay. Use soap and water to wash hands regularly and avoid hand sanitizer—unless very important. www.PlanetAyurve

Washing hands is so important as most of the common infections are spread through hands and keeping them clean decreases the chances to certain extent.

6. Simple Deep Breathing Taking shallow breath let your lungs expand only to small portion while breathing deeply helps to expand lungs fully and a good oxygen exchange occurs. It increases the minimum amount of air exhaled from the lungs at once. www.PlanetAyurve

Sitting curling inwards or compressing chest, gives a too little room for your lungs to expand. Lungs are the soft organ which gets the area depending upon the position of your chest.

www.PlanetAyurve

7. Maintain a Good Posture So try to sit straight and let your lungs expand fully. While sitting on a chair, lean a bit backward and breathe deeply, let your lungs expand as it will help in improving the functioning of your lungs. www.PlanetAyurve

8. Drink More Water Drinking good amount of water is great for all of your body and lungs are not any exception.

www.PlanetAyurve

There are mucosal linings in the lungs which when you gulp more and more water, stay hydrated and less water can make them dry and prone to infection.

www.PlanetAyurve

9. Laugh Out Loud No I don’t mean the abbreviation of LOL here! Laughter is the great medicine. You must have heard this phrase and it’s true like anything.

Laughing exercise can help you boost stamina and function of your lungs. www.PlanetAyurve

Along with strengthening the muscles of the abdomen, this exercise enhances lungs function.

While laughing hard the stale air present in the lungs is removed and a room is made for the fresh air to enter the lungs.

www.PlanetAyurve

10. Diet On Mark Taking a good diet is necessary for lungs as well. For making your lungs stronger, preventing infections and delaying the aging process it is necessary you take a good diet.

www.PlanetAyurve

Take good amount of fiber from things like nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. Protein is also necessary to enhance the strength of respiratory muscles. So include eggs, milk, meat, cheese, nuts and peas in your diet.

www.PlanetAyurve

11. The Power of Pranayama This form of Yoga is best for maintaining good healthy working lungs. It is a type of breath control exercises which is practiced along with meditation or yoga postures.

www.PlanetAyurve

Pranayama relieves stress, relaxes body and promote mindfulness.
