time that we change it! Rate of lungs diseases
and respiratory ailments is much more in number

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.

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

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

can make difference and help you prevent from
various lung diseases.

the most important thing that you must follow
regularly to keep your lungs healthy. Along with
body, exercising keep your lungs in shape too.

gives a too little room for your lungs to expand.

depending upon the position of your chest.

lungs is removed and a room is made for the fresh
air to enter the lungs.
