Lung Problems (Chronic bronchitis, Asthma)? Fiber Lets You Breathe Again

As Obesity is increasing these days emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and asthma are becoming more common. Obesity leads to excess weight on the chest and diaphragm which contributes to restricted breathing.

This problem increases as weight increases, especially
if that weight is concentrated in the abdomen.

Easy and effective way to improve lung function is to lose weight.
Lung diseases such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and asthma are all associated with inflammation, so a diet high in phytochemicals with anti-inflammatory properties can be extremely helpful. Blueberries and strawberries are powerful fighters of inflammation.

Eating fewer calories is key to losing weight. Fiber foods contain fewer calories and fill you faster.

Easy steps to lose weight

• Eat more fiber foods.
• Drink more water at least 6 glasses a day.
• Stop eating when you no longer feel hungry.
