World Lung Day on September 25th is a key time to focus on lung health, especially for those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD affects millions worldwide, causing persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. By adopting healthier habits and utilizing effective treatments, individuals with COPD can greatly improve their quality of life. At OxyGo, we are dedicated to supporting lung health through advanced oxygen therapy solutions.

The Importance of Lung Health for COPD Patients

Understanding COPD

COPD includes conditions like emphysema and chronic bronchitis, primarily caused by smoking and long-term exposure to harmful pollutants. Early diagnosis and proactive management are crucial to slow disease progression and enhance quality of life.

Promoting Better Respiratory Health

For COPD patients, quitting smoking, maintaining a clean environment, engaging in regular physical activity, and following a healthy diet are essential. However, many also require supplemental oxygen therapy to maintain adequate oxygen levels in their blood.
