Lung care and diet therapy

In fact, every organ in the human body is very fragile, so we should take good care of our organs in daily life, especially for some organs that need to be used every day. The lungs are an organ that often suffers from diseases. Lung disease can affect the normal functions of the upper body, so we must pay special attention to the maintenance of the lungs in our daily lives. So what are the methods of lung care and dietary therapy?

How to maintain lungs

1. Breathing method for lung care

The lungs control qi and regulate breathing. Fresh air and turbid air are exchanged in the lungs, and the quality of inhaled gas has a great impact on lung function. To keep your lungs clear, you must first quit smoking, avoid the harm of secondhand smoke, and do not stay in places with polluted air for a long time. Friends who have the conditions can often go to places with lush vegetation and fresh air, do some exercise, take deep breaths, and expel the turbid air in the body through deliberate deep exhalation.

2. Drinking water to maintain lung health

The lungs are an open system, with the nasal cavity, trachea and then to the lungs forming the air pathway. The water in the lungs can be lost as the air is expelled. Dry air can more easily take away moisture, causing damage to the lung mucosa and respiratory tract. This is what Chinese medicine says: dryness can easily damage the lungs. Therefore, timely replenishment of water is an important measure for lung maintenance.

3. Emotional regulation for lung care

The lungs are associated with sadness and worry. Sadness and worry can easily damage the lungs. People with lung diseases are also prone to sadness and worry. Laughter is the voice of the heart and can overcome the sadness and worry of the lungs. Smile more and you can reduce sadness and sorrow. Laughter is also a kind of fitness exercise. It can expand the chest cavity, increase lung capacity and stretch the chest muscles. This helps to promote the flow of lung qi and is beneficial to the rise and fall of the body's qi. Smiling every day can eliminate fatigue, relieve depression, relax the chest and regulate qi, restore physical strength and increase appetite.

4. Dietary methods for lung care

Carry out relevant dietary therapy maintenance appropriately. As for diet, it is very important to eat more vegetables and fruits and supplement various vitamins. Because with the improvement of economic conditions and living standards, people eat fish and meat every day, reducing the intake of vegetables and fruits. In addition, you can regularly prepare your own lung-nourishing diet. There are many of them and you can learn more about them. The recipes I have eaten and know about include lotus seeds, lily and lean meat, steamed pear with rock sugar, pork lung with Sichuan loquat and snow pear, etc. These are all good recipes for nourishing the lungs. If you love cooking, you can study them carefully.

5. Exercise methods to maintain lung health

Exercise more in the morning, breathe fresh air, and clear your lungs. The morning air becomes quite clean and fresh after the quietness of the night. Therefore, breathing the morning air more often, taking a morning walk or exercising can not only nourish the lungs but also increase the body's physical fitness and resistance.
