How can men keep their lungs healthy?

The lungs are an organ that is easily injured, especially in men who are most susceptible to lung infections. A large proportion of male long-term smokers will contract diseases such as lung cancer, so we must pay attention to lung care. So how do men take care of their lungs? What kind of health care measures are there? Male friends should get rid of their smoking addiction as soon as possible and remind themselves from time to time in life. Here are some simple ways to take care of the lungs.

The sitting breathing method is derived from the ancient Chinese health-preserving exercises of exhaling the old and inhaling the new, guiding and sitting meditation. It achieves medical and health-care effects through posture adjustment, breathing exercises, physical and mental relaxation, and concentration of attention and imagination. This is because the lungs are exercised during the deep breathing process. In life, we also need to be on guard against lung diseases. Four health-care common sense can effectively prevent them:

1. Quit smoking no matter what.

2. Go to the doctor on time and take medicine as prescribed by the doctor. Even if you think you are healthy, you should at least have a lung function test every year. Tell your doctor about your medication and how you feel after taking it. Get a flu shot every year.

3. Do breathing exercises. Walk for 20 minutes every day. Breathing exercises include abdominal inhalation, pursed lip exhalation, and forced exhalation. The former is to inhale slowly and deeply through the nose, inhale the air into the abdomen, then purse the lips like whistling, and exhale slowly through the mouth for twice the time of inhalation. The latter is to keep the glottis open and do 1-2 forced exhalations to prevent airway collapse.

4. Eat a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables and protein-rich foods, eat small meals frequently, and maintain a normal weight. Carotene can keep the lungs "young".

I hope that the above lung care measures can help more male friends, especially those who are addicted to smoking. They must get rid of the addiction psychologically and pay more attention to lung care in life. They should do some appropriate breathing exercises, eat a healthy diet, and eat more vegetables and fruits. If you persist in this way for a long time, your lungs will definitely be well maintained.
