Respiratory Care Week is recognized every October to help raise awareness for the essential role of respiratory therapists in patient care, especially those who manage chronic lung diseases. There are a number of ways we can also promote healthy living and care for our own respiratory systems, including: 🧘♀️ Try deep breathing to help improve lung function and reduce shortness of breath. 🚴 Practice aerobic exercises, like walking or cycling, to improve cardiovascular fitness, as well as resistance exercises, like weight lifting, to improve muscle strength. 🧹 Reduce indoor air pollution by ensuring living and working spaces are well ventilated and cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of allergens, dust, and mold. 🏠 Test your home for radon gas.
