10 Treatments for COPD

9. Maintaining a Healthy Diet

Eating healthier is great for persons suffering from COPD for so many valuable reasons. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants and full of fruits, vegetables and healthy proteins can also provide some of the vitamins that you may be missing, due to the effects of COPD. A healthier diet is also a sure road to maintaining a healthier weight, as that people with COPD can often gain weight rapidly or lose too much weight, due to burning calories related to the effort of breathing. You should also try to steer clear of too much salt, and try to eat smaller, more frequent meals.
