🫁💙 WELLNESS TIP: GIVE YOUR LUNGS A LITTLE LOVE!
November is COPD Awareness Month, so let’s talk about simple ways to practice healthy breathing!
Here are 4 gentle breathing exercises you can try at home:
🌬️ 1. Pursed-Lip Breathing
Breathe in slowly through your nose, then gently blow out through pursed lips like you’re blowing out a candle.
🌬️ 2. Belly Breathing
Place a hand on your belly. Slowly breathe in through your nose and feel your belly rise. Slowly breathe out.
🌬️ 3. Shoulder Rolls
Gently roll your shoulders forward and backward to relax your upper body.
🌬️ 4. Gentle Seated Marching
While sitting in a chair, slowly lift one knee at a time. Keep breathing comfortably!
💡 Remember: Start slowly, never force your breathing, and stop if you feel dizzy, unusually short of breath, or uncomfortable. If you have COPD or another lung condition, ask your healthcare provider which exercises are right for you.

A little movement and mindful breathing can go a long way! ❤️
