Have a Nutritious Diet
Diet plays an important role in COPD prevention and treatment. It is important to have a balanced and nutritious diet to prevent overweight or underweight, which could affect your breathing quality. Also, ensuring a sufficient intake of nutrients would provide sufficient energy for the body to function properly under the effects of this condition. Instead of having 2 or 3 large meals, it is better to divide into 5 or 6 smaller ones during the day. This will take up less space in the diaphragm and allow for easier breathing. Also, this can enable the lungs to empty and fill air better. [5]
