CLRD (chronic lower respiratory disease) is a general category that includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis (all diseases of the respiratory system). Although CLRD is related mostly to tobacco use, lifetime nonsmokers also can develop CLRD. Precautions to prevent CLRD include:
1. Consuming a low-fat, low-sodium, nutrient-dense diet (similar to a cardio and cancer protective diet).
2. Staying physically active.
3. Not smoking and staying clear of cigarette smoke.
4. Avoiding swimming pools for individuals sensitive to chlorine vapor.
5. Getting a pneumonia vaccine if over age 50 and a current or ex-smoker.
