Eating plenty of foods high in antioxidants that help clean your body of toxins and to strengthen your immune system, will lower your chances of developing COPD. Foods naturally high in antioxidants include goji berries, dark chocolate, wild blueberries, kidney beans, cranberries, pecans, artichokes, elderberries, etc., so eat plenty of these. You should also ensure you are a healthy weight. Being underweight can weaken the pulmonary muscles and diaphragm while being overweight can put increased pressure on the heart and lungs.

Regular exercise will help you maintain a strong heart and lungs. It will also help you remain a healthy weight. Consider consulting with a physician before starting an exercise program as a doctor can recommend an appropriate fitness regime to suit your needs.
