Exposure to occupational dust and chemicals, prolonged respiratory illnesses, and unhealthy diets can all silently impair lung function.

Warming up before exercise, breathing through the nose, staying hydrated, avoiding polluted environments, and stopping when experiencing shortness of breath can help protect your lungs.

Getting enough sleep, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, limiting added sugar, and reducing exposure to smoke and dust are habits that help maintain healthier lungs long-term.
