Medical conditions affecting the lungs
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.
