🤔Did you know that the average person inhales about 11,000 liters of air every day, which is about 22,000 breathing cycles!
🫁The lungs work continuously, so it is important to protect their health. Just 5 simple rules will help you with this:
1️⃣ Get vaccinated!
Ask your family doctor about the pneumococcal vaccination to reduce the risk of bacterial pneumonia and bronchitis. Don’t forget about the flu, covid, and measles vaccines, because any viral infection can have complications for the lungs.
2️⃣ Quit smoking!
Smoking is one of the main enemies of your lungs. It can cause asthma, COPD, and other respiratory diseases.
3️⃣ Protect your airways.
Avoid going outside during smog and protect yourself from harmful industrial factors.
4️⃣ Treat allergies in a timely manner.
This will help avoid the development of asthma in the future.
5️⃣ Be active!
Physical activity is important for the work of respiratory muscles and effective external breathing. It is also important to control your own weight, as it creates a load on the lungs.
