FIVE WAYS TO DELAY OR PREVENT BREATHING PROBLEMS

Here are some important healthy actions you can take to help postpone or prevent disease-related breathing problems:

•
 Quit smoking immediately.
•
 Avoid caffeine and alcohol since these promote water loss through the urine.
•
 Drink plenty of water. It helps keep lung secretions thin, which is very important to clearance.
•
 Keep caloric intake up to avoid muscle wasting.
•
 Maintain proper weight.

*If you have any medical questions regarding sleep-disordered breathing or sleep apnea, please contact your physician immediately. Progressive Medical does not diagnose patients. All patients must be referred by a physician.
