Avoid smoke
Not smoking, and avoiding secondhand smoke, is the single most important lung habit. Ask a healthcare professional about support for quitting. The CDC offers general information.
Improve the air you breathe
Ventilate your home, avoid indoor smoke, check local air quality and keep dust and mold under control.
Stay active
Walking and other regular activity help your lungs and heart work well. Choose something you will keep doing.
Practice breathing
Slow, relaxed breathing exercises are a gentle daily habit for many people.
Keep up with care
Stay current on recommended vaccinations and checkups. Persistent cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain or coughing up blood need prompt medical evaluation. For background, see the NHLBI.
Where drops fit
Once the basics are in place, a daily product such as Lung Trust is designed to complement them. Talk to a clinician first if you take medication or have a lung condition. See the ingredients page.
