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.
Your body burns many more calories digesting protein than it does eating fat or carbohydrates. Protein helps stabilize the secretion of insulin into your blood stream, a process that can boost metabolism. The average person would benefit from protein intake at a minimum of 70 grams or higher each day. Good sources of protein include fish, white meat chicken, tofu, nuts, beans, eggs, and low-fat dairy products.
