8 Treatment Options for COPD
Diet
There is no specific diet for people with COPD, but it is important to follow a healthy, balanced diet to maintain your overall health. This will boost your immune system and prevent further complications. Make sure your daily meals have a variety of food groups, including dairy, protein, grains, fruits, and veggies. Also, drink a lot of water to keep mucus thinner for coughing out. Avoid caffeine in energy drinks or coffee as it would interfere with some drugs. Limit your intake of salt, which would retain water in the body and strain your breathing. [5]
