About this session
Nutrition is only one part of respiratory health, but it can contribute to the wider conditions that help the body function well.
Regular meals, sufficient energy and protein, varied plant foods and appropriate hydration may support general health and recovery, while no single food can clean the lungs, reverse exposure or treat a respiratory condition.
This practical session helps participants translate respiratory-health nutrition into affordable meals, snacks and working-day routines.
It considers office workers, city commuters, shift workers and employees around dust, fumes or poor air quality, while making clear that workplace controls, protective equipment, smoke avoidance and professional healthcare cannot be replaced by dietary choices.
