Improving your lung health is promoted annually on World Lung Day<\/a> and other national days, such as\u00a0Love Your Lungs Week<\/a>\u00a0in the UK, encouraging you to look after your lung health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Lung Day is an awareness day, organized by FIRS<\/a> (Forum of International Respiratory Societies), for promoting better lung health, globally. The reason this is so important is because having healthy lungs will make your body work more effectively. And now, in these days of living with COVID-19, it is more important than ever to care for your lungs and keep them healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your lung health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure you keep your body ticking over nicely, keeping your lungs healthy is critical.\u00a0However, the burden of lung disease<\/a> was often not recognized or prioritized in previous years within health systems. At least, not as much as it needed to be.\u00a0Now, since the COVID pandemic and the resulting number of people with long COVID, lung health has come more to the fore. This includes keeping your breathing muscles in tip-top condition, because if you do become ill, they will fatigue very quickly. Breathing training such as POWERbreathe Respiratory Muscle Training Is Valuable in COVID-19 Patient Recovery.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What affects lung health?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lung is an internal organ. It is most vulnerable to infection and injury from the external environment because you breathe in oxygen from the air, directly into your lungs. This is why your lungs are affected so drastically by COVID. Your lungs really are a very important cog in the wheel that keeps your body ticking over. They draw oxygen in when you inhale, and release carbon dioxide out when you exhale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
