Love Your Lungs

Love Your Lungs Week is celebrated from June 21st to June 27th, aiming to raise awareness about lung health and how to maintain and protect our lungs.

One way to show love to your lungs is by improving the quality of the air you breathe indoors. While it’s challenging to control outdoor air quality, you can make small changes to enhance the air in your home:

1. Keep rooms ventilated – Regularly open your windows for 5–10 minutes, especially when cooking or showering, to ensure proper airflow.
2. Vacuum regularly – Vacuum weekly to remove dust and dirt particles, particularly if you or someone in your household has allergies.
3. Maintain a warm home – Keep your home temperature between 18°C and 21°C to prevent dampness and condensation.
4. Have a smoke-free house – Do not smoke or allow others to smoke inside. Smoking is a leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for over 70% of cases.
5. Use chemical-free products – Opt for products that are free of harmful chemicals and are allergy-friendly to reduce indoor air pollution.

By implementing these simple yet effective steps, you can significantly improve the air quality in your home and support your lung health. Love Your Lungs Week serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of respiratory wellness and encourages us to take proactive measures in our daily lives. Let’s commit to protecting our lungs not just this week, but every day, for a healthier and more vibrant future.
