Lung Problems

The lungs are the primary organs of respiration in humans. Without them you will not be able to sustain life. Apart from common respiratory problems caused by allergies like asthma, there are other more dangerous diseases that can affect the health of lungs, like COPD and lung cancer – one of the most common and serious types of cancer. Around 44,500 people are diagnosed with the condition every year in the UK.

Lung diseases are some of the most common medical conditions in the world. Tens of millions of people suffer from lung disease in the US. Smoking, infections, and genetics are responsible for most lung diseases… but certain types of pharmaceutical drugs, like paracetamol, can also weaken your lung function. In our extensive archive, the Daily Health explores how you can keep your lungs in top form by using effective and safe alternative therapies.
