Is there a way to improve your lung health by changing your daily lifestyle?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lifestyle change: Obviously quitting smoking would be a lifestyle change that would benefit your pulmonary functioning. Also, cardiovascular exercise doesn't necessarily improve pulmonary function, but is good for your health.
