Purpose of the Article

Our lungs are vital for our survival and prosperity. Respiratory diseases are in the top ten causes of death. This article is not a lecture or prescriptive text on respiratory diseases. Instead, it is a practical piece for awareness.

I aim to create awareness of the major causes and risk factors of these common diseases leading to death and suffering for many people. Then, I provide practical tips to mitigate risks.

I believe every educated adult understands the importance of the lungs. The human respiratory system is critical for survival and well-being.

As part of the respiratory system, our lungs play a vital role in getting fresh air and removing stale ones for bodily functions. We can leave without eating for long but cannot without breathing.

This simple process determines our survival. Despite its prominence, avoiding the health of our lungs is well documented in the literature, causing severe health problems globally.
