Want Healthy Lungs, Do this

The lungs are a very important and irreplaceable organ for our body. The lungs are organs in the respiratory system that are connected to the circulatory system. The lungs function to exchange oxygen from the air with carbon monoxide from the blood.
In general, this process is called breathing. Humans have two lungs, namely the left lung and the right lung.
The left lung has two lobes so it is smaller than the right lung which has three lobes. The total length of the air passages through the two lungs reaches 2400 kilometers. Humans need 550 liters of oxygen every day.

Apart from that, the lungs have a very vital function for the body because they do extraordinary work every day. Healthy lungs can provide large amounts of oxygen to the blood. The availability of sufficient oxygen for the body can have a good impact on the body so that it can work and carry out activities well.
It is very important to change a healthy lifestyle to maintain lung health. We will not achieve any big steps if we don't start with small steps.

1. Wash your hands with soap and water
It is estimated that hands can spread 80 percent of infectious respiratory diseases such as colds and flu. The risk of being infected with viruses and bacteria can be avoided by washing your hands every time before eating, after eating and after going to the toilet.
2.   Do physical activity. Doing regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes every day such as jogging, swimming can maintain lung health, maintain emotional stability and manage stress.
3.    Stop smoking
Smoking is the main cause of serious lung diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Cigarette smoke contains more than 400 dangerous chemical compounds and 50 of these compounds are known to cause cancer.

4.    Stay away from cigarette smoke

Did you know that two-thirds of cigarette smoke is not inhaled by the smoker, but enters the air around the smoker. Someone who is not a smoker but inhales cigarette smoke has the same risk of disease as a smoker. Some things you can do to avoid becoming a passive smoker  is to prohibit smokers from smoking in the house, car or work environment.
Therefore, it is very important for us to apply it in everyday life, but it can be measured for effective treatment. By consulting with a pulmonary specialist
