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 protein is important to rebuild muscle and maintain cellular structure. Lean proteins, such as chicken without the skin, fish, or turkey are the best sources of protein. Try snacking on a nonfat Greek yogurt or low fat string cheese. Be sure to include a carbohydrate, such as a piece of fruit.
