5 tips to support your lungs for a healthy fall and winter

Welcome fall- hold the asthma!

Fall is the season of the lungs: The better you take care of your respiratory system, the better your health will be in fall (when asthma strikes) and winter (cold and flu season).

5 Ways to Keep Your Lungs Healthy:

1) Stay warm and covered. Wear a vest to keep your torso warm.

2) Avoid cold/iced foods and beverages that tighten your chest and cause spasm.

Product feature: Calli tea ingredients help soothe and cleanse the chest/lung area, reducing mucus and other congestion. See Sunrider page https://www.theacupuncturecenterohio.com/post/sunrider-herbal-foods-and-beverages

3) Practice diaphragm breathing to help expand the lungs fully with comfort and ease. Use this Guided Relaxation video each morning on how to breathe properly with your diaphragm:
