Eat Smaller, Frequent Meals
Overeating fills the belly and makes it harder to breathe. Eating fast also causes the same problem. The same is true for eating many meals in short time spans. According to ALA doctors, many emphysema patients eat small meals many times a day since doing this won’t fill up their stomachs resulting in breathing difficulties among other problems like bloating characterized by the diaphragm exerting pressure on the stomach and making breathing very uncomfortable.
This tip is also great for boosting the body’s metabolism which in turn, increases the body’s energy supply. When the body is getting a constant source of food, it avoids storing excess food as fat. This offers benefits like weight loss which ease breathing and get rid of many other health problems.
