10 Tips to Avoid Lung Disease Lung disease is any condition that prevents the lungs from functioning main kinds of lung disease: Airway Diseases: These diseases affect the airways that carry oxygen and gases in and out of the lungs. They usually cause blocking or narrowing of the airways. These include asthma COPD and bronchiectasis. Lung Tissue Diseases: These diseases affect the structure of the lung tissue. Scarring or inflammation of the tissue restricts the lungs from expanding fully making it harder for them to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Pulmonary fibrosis a Lung Circulation Diseases: These diseases affect the blood vessels in the lungs. They are caused by the clotting of blood or scarring and inflammation of blood vessels. They also reduce the ability of the oxygen and release carbon dioxide. These diseases may also affect the heart function. Pulmonary hypertension is an example of lung circulation disease. combination of these three types. They are acute or chron common lung diseases include:  Asthma  Pneumothorax or atelectasis  Bronchitis – Swelling or inflammation in the main passages bronchial tubes that carry air to the lungs  COPD – Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease  Lung cancer  Pneumonia – Lung infection  Pulmonary edema – Abnormal buildup of fluid in the lungs  Pulmonary embolus – Blocked lung artery Lung disease is any condition that prevents the lungs from functioning properly. There are three These diseases affect the airways that carry oxygen and gases in and out of the lungs. They usually cause blocking or narrowing of the airways. These include asthma COPD and These diseases affect the structure of the lung tissue. Scarring or inflammation of the tissue restricts the lungs from expanding fully making it harder for them to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis are examples of lung tissue disease. These diseases affect the blood vessels in the lungs. They are caused by the clotting of blood or scarring and inflammation of blood vessels. They also reduce the ability of the lungs to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. These diseases may also affect the heart function. Pulmonary hypertension is an example of lung circulation disease. Many lung diseases involve a combination of these three types. They are acute or chronic and can be fatal.

Here are 10 tips to avoid the lung disease Quit Smoking Cigarette smoking is the major cause bronchitis and emphysema. Cigarette smoke narrows air passages making it difficult to breathe. Over time it destroys the lung tissue and trigger changes that grow into cancer Keep Away from Pollutants Secondhand smoke air pollution chemicals at home and workplace and radon can all cause or worsen lung disease. Vacuum clean your home and car. Prevent Infection Cold or a respiratory infection can sometimes become serious.
