Help

It is always a shock to hear you have a disease like COPD. You will most likely have to make lifestyle adjustments. I suggest starting with diet and exercise. Also, ask your physician about Pulmonary Rehab. These three steps can make a huge impact on living your best life with COPD.


I love to eat but my diet included foods that made it harder to breathe. I found that the Mediterranean Diet was easy to adapt to and simple to follow.


If you can get into a Pulmonary Rehab program you will learn some great exercise for improving your breathing and overall stamina. If you can’t get Rehab any time soon, there are lots of online sources and videos on YouTube that you might find helpful.


I hope you find ways to help you manage your life with COPD. My best to you, Becky (Moderator)
