ADD SOME GREENERY TO YOUR HOME.

And not fake greenery – real

plants. Adding plants to our homes
increases the oxygen and air
quality in our living areas thanks to
plants’ natural abilities to remove
certain toxins from the air.

GET FIT AND STAY ACTIVE.

Yep, exercise is good for your lungs, too!
Exercise improves circulation and
strengthens our muscles – two important
things that healthy lungs need to do their
job. That’s why exercising helps make them
more efficient.

DON’T SMOKE OR USE TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

You’ve heard it a million

times before: smoking,
chewing tobacco and similar
products are not good for
your lungs, or your health
overall.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

You’ve heard this before, too: drink lots
of water to keep yourself healthy.
Staying hydrated plays a role in your
lung’s health as well: drinking water
helps to thin the mucus secretions that
naturally accumulate in your lungs each
day, which then allows you to breathe
more easily.
