Nutrition might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to lung health, but good nutrition can make a big difference.

Good nutrition and healthy eating habits help support your overall health and can ease some of the challenges that accompany chronic conditions.

A registered dietitian can help you:

• choose the right foods;
• maintain nutrition when your appetite is low; and
• manage eating when mucus is a concern.
