Normal Lungs X-Ray

The lungs will lose some vitality as people age. Here are some tips to help keep normal, healthy lungs at any age:

  • Stop smoking: This is the number one thing you can do to ensure a healthy set of lungs, no matter what your age. Ask your doctor or respiratory therapist to refer you to a good smoking cessation program in your area.
  • Get vaccinated: Receiving an annual flu shot and a pneumonia vaccine as recommended by the CDC can help protect older people from developing potentially deadly complications from respiratory infections.
  • Get moving: Exercise helps improve lung capacity and has lots of other health benefits as well.
  • Eat right and drink plenty of fluids: As we get older, proper nutrition and hydration are important, not only for the lungs, but for all of our body’s systems.
