How to keep the lungs healthy?

(1) Try to avoid inhaling impurities and toxic gases in the air: coal dust, cotton fibers, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, formaldehyde, organophosphorus pesticides, etc. If these toxic and harmful substances are inhaled too much, they may cause lung diseases and systemic diseases. Therefore, we should actively prevent and control air pollution, improve the working environment, living environment and bedroom environment, make the dusty environment "quiet", do a good job in hygiene, and strengthen preventive measures, such as dust preventers, dust masks and ventilation equipment. Breathe more fresh air and smokers should make up their minds to quit smoking, which is very beneficial to lung protection.

(2) Take an active part in physical exercise and improve lung function: For example, walking in fresh air in the morning and evening, doing broadcast gymnastics, playing Tai Ji Chuan and practicing Qigong can effectively enhance physical fitness and improve cardiopulmonary function. At the same time, often training abdominal breathing instead of chest breathing, lasting 5 ~ 10 minutes each time, can enhance the activities of diaphragm, abdominal muscles and lower chest muscles, deepen the breathing range, increase the ventilation volume and reduce the residual volume, thus improving lung function.

(3) Pay attention to dietary taboos: lung health care should eat less spicy and thick flavor, should have a light diet, avoid salty and less salt, and don't eat too cold or too hot food, especially cold and cold drinks. Therefore, we must adjust our diet reasonably and never be greedy for cold drinks.

If it is warm, it will not hurt the lungs.

(5) Cold-resistant exercise: The purpose of cold-resistant exercise is to enhance the immune function of the body and prevent colds. Specific methods can be cold water bath, air bath and nasal health care. Long-term exercise has benefited a lot.
