Love Your Lungs!

February is the month of St. Valentine, cupid, and love. Here are some ways to show love for your lungs. 1) Ask your prescribing health provider about a spirometry test if you experience coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness. 2) Protect yourself against the flu, COVID-19, pneumonia, and RSV by staying up to date on your vaccines. 3) Manage your lung disease or quit smoking with the support of a community.

Tips for a Healthy Home

While we are mindful about nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods, clean water and activity, consider the health of our homes. The presence of mould and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) can cause a myriad of health complaints such as headaches, nausea, respiratory issues, organ and central nervous system damage. Indoor air pollution can be five times higher than outdoor air pollution! The best ways to reduce harmful air quality in our homes are to eliminate mould, prohibit smoking indoors, increase ventilation and ensure home improvement projects use materials with low or no VOCs.

Who and When to Ask for Help

If you or a loved one are finding that a situation is affecting your physical or mental health, and making you feel less in control and more isolated, it may be time to ask for help. Forgetfulness can also be an indication that something is wrong, when it comes to things like missed appointments or missed medications. It can be hard to accept change, but asking for help is a sign of strength, not of weakness. Getting assistance can help make your or your loved one’s day easier, safer, and healthier. In-home care can be a great option!
