Diet
As strange as it may seem, some foods can help your body transport oxygen, such as foods rich in iron. According to the National Library of Medicine , this mineral is essential for making hemoglobin and myoglobin. Eat more dried beans, dried fruit, liver, red meat, eggs, and whole grains.
Quit smoking
The very bad habit of cigarette smoking inhibits the ability to effectively introduce oxygen into the bloodstream.
Breathe fresh, pure air
If you have the opportunity to be in an open space, such as in the countryside or in the mountains, go frequently. Walk slowly, relaxing your body and breathing deeply.
Drink more water
Keeping your body hydrated is also essential for lung health.
