Does anyone understand how peak flow measurements indicate severity of COPD. I am assessed as moderate COPD, however my peak flow of 275 does not appear on peak flow charts, the lowest figure being 300. The medics tell me my peak flow and breathing are fine/normal.
Maintain healthy eating habits. Avoid fad diets-they are often incredibly unhealthy. To get all the nutrition the human body needs, you must eat a balanced diet including dairy, grains, protein, fruits and veggies, as well as fat (yes, even fat!). By doing so, you'll have a healthy heart, healthy brain, and a fully functional immune system.
Eating a variety of foods each day will help you get all the nutrients you need. Practice moderation. Don't have too much or too little of one thing. All foods, if eaten in moderation, can be part of healthy eating. Even sweets can be okay. Why pay attention to what you eat? Healthy eating will help you get the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. It will help you feel your best and have plenty of energy. It can help you handle stress better. Healthy eating is one of the best things you can do to prevent and control many health problems, such as: Heart disease. High blood pressure. Type 2 diabetes. Some types of cancer. Is healthy eating the same as going on a diet? Healthy eating is not a diet. It means making changes you can live with and enjoy for the rest of your life. Diets are temporary.
