Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Good nutrition is important for everyone, but it is particularly important for individuals with COPD as it supports:

  • Improved lung function
  • Increased muscle strength
  • Reduced shortness of breath and fatigue
  • Improved exercise ability
  • Reduced risk of infections
  • Reduced risk of hospital admissions
  • Improved quality of life

In other words, good nutrition can help keep people with COPD fitter and stronger.
