Eat well and drink plenty of water

Choosing foods packed with vitamins and minerals and drinking plenty of water helps keep your lungs healthy and protects you from infections.

Ask your healthcare professional for a flu jab and other winter vaccines

Winter can be a worrying time, so getting your vaccines is a simple way to give your lungs extra protection and keep you out of hospital. They’re free for most people with lung conditions.
