lung health

lung health refers to the optimal functioning of the respiratory system, which includes the lungs and airways. healthy lungs provide the body with the necessary oxygen while removing carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism.

maintaining lung health involves avoiding pollutants and irritants like tobacco smoke, industrial and vehicular emissions, and indoor air pollutants. regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and avoiding respiratory infections through vaccination and hygiene practices also contribute to lung health.

common lung diseases include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd), pneumonia, lung cancer, and tuberculosis. symptoms of lung problems can include shortness of breath, persistent cough, chest pain, and wheezing.

early detection and treatment of lung conditions are crucial. this includes regular check-ups, especially for those at risk, and managing chronic conditions like asthma or copd with the help of healthcare professionals.
