Lung Capacity and Health

Only a medical doctor can diagnose if you have a specific lung issue and recommend treatment. This especially rings true if you have asthma or other health conditions.

Lung capacity is one of many indicators of lung health. Over time, your lungs gradually lose their ability to expel all the air as you exhale. This causes a buildup of stale air within them that reduces the amount of fresh air you take in. This can affect your ability to do physically demanding activities. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to catch your breath after doing some heavy lifting, you might need to re-evaluate your lung health.

Reduced lung capacity is common to lung issues like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In addition, unhealthy habits like smoking can contribute to reduced lung capacity.

Much like how cardio exercise can help you build heart health, breathing exercises can help you build lung capacity. Ask your doctor on which breathing exercises are right for you.
