Some ways to clean your lungs are to quit smoking, eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of fluids, and exercise regularly.
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States and is known to cause lung cancer, emphysema, and other respiratory illnesses. In addition to quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet is important for keeping your lungs healthy. A diet high in fruits and vegetables can help reduce your risk of developing respiratory illnesses.
Drinking plenty of fluids also helps keep your lungs healthy by flushing out mucus and other irritants. And exercise helps improve overall health and lung function.
