How Does the Respiratory System Work, and What Are the Best Ways to Improve Lung Health? - #14445
I have been interested in learning more about the respiratory system, especially since I sometimes experience shortness of breath and seasonal allergies. I want to understand how the lungs function and what lifestyle changes can improve respiratory health. Some people say that breathing exercises help strengthen the lungs, but I am unsure whether dietary or environmental factors also play a major role. The respiratory system consists of the lungs, airways, and diaphragm, which work together to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide. Common respiratory issues include asthma, bronchitis, COPD, and respiratory infections. Many experts recommend deep breathing exercises, steam inhalation, and herbal remedies like Tulsi, Vasaka, and Mulethi for lung health. However, I want to know whether long-term exposure to pollution or smoking causes irreversible lung damage. For those who have improved their lung health, what worked best for enhancing breathing capacity and preventing respiratory illnesses? Would love insights into the best natural and medical ways to support the respiratory system.
