1. Lifestyle Practices: PPT Explaining Listening
These are actions individuals can adopt in their
daily lives to keep their respiratory system
healthy:
a. Avoid Smoking
• Smoking is the leading cause of respiratory
diseases like COPD and lung cancer.
• Second hand Smoke: Avoid exposure to
smoke from others, as it can damage lungs
over time.
b. Practice Good Hygiene
• Wash hands regularly to prevent infections
like colds, flu, and pneumonia.
• Cover your mouth and nose when coughing
or sneezing to prevent the spread of germs.

c. Stay Physically Active
• Regular exercise improves lung capacity
and strengthens the respiratory muscles.
• Activities like walking, jogging, yoga, and
deep breathing exercises enhance oxygen
flow.
d. Eat a Nutritious Diet
• Include foods rich in antioxidants (e.g.,
fruits, vegetables, nuts) to reduce lung
inflammation.
• Consume omega-3 fatty acids (found in
fish, flaxseeds) for their anti-inflammatory
properties.

• Ensure proper ventilation in homes to avoid
buildup of smoke or harmful chemicals.
• Avoid burning incense, candles, or cooking
with unvented stoves for long periods.
b. Avoid Outdoor Air Pollution

3. Medical Precautions
Taking medical steps ensures additional
protection from respiratory problems:
a. Get Vaccinated
• Vaccines like flu shots and pneumococcal
vaccines protect against respiratory
infections.
• COVID-19 vaccination also reduces severe
lung complications caused by the virus.
