Did you know that household cleaners, perfume, and common pesticides are all lung irritants? Or that allergies and changes to hormone levels (like during pregnancy or menopause) can impact a woman's lungs and airways? 

​

Luckily there are three simple things you can do to keep your lungs healthy:

​

1. Get a flu shot each year.

2. If you smoke, consider quitting.

3. If you have a cough, shortness of breath, or can't exercise like you used to, talk to a doctor.
