4 Surprising Ways you can Alleviate COPD Symptoms

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. It is the third leading cause of death in the world. More than 16.4 million people in the USA alone have been diagnosed with COPD. According to some estimates around 50%-90% of worldwide cases are undiagnosed. Symptoms include frequent coughing or wheezing, excess phlegm and shortness of breath. Since COPD affects the lungs, it can increase the risk of severe complications if the individual contracts any respiratory diseases such as COVID-19.

COPD can be caused by:

Pollution and fumes
Particulate matter (PM2.5)
Smoking
Secondhand smoke

Here are 4 proven ways to combat the symptoms of COPD.

Spend more time at the beach. Based on research¹, the American Lung Association has recommended salt therapy or the process of inhaling salty air particles for people with COPD. This is aerosolized ions containing both salt and water. These particles possess the anti-bacterial effect of killing virus, bacteria and reducing inflammation.

Elevate your head at night. Lung capacity is lower when you are flat on your back. To help your lung function at night, the best position would be to position your head higher than the rest of your body.
Eat less carbohydrates. COPD patients have a reduced ability to exhale carbon dioxide adequately which then builds up in their bloodstream. A reduced carbohydrate diet results in lower carbon dioxide production which helps COPD manage their symptoms better.
Filter your air. Studies have proven that filtering the air using air purifiers led to improved blood vessel function, which could contribute to better heart health. It also helped in reducing the airborne dust particles and airborne allergens, gases, VOC’s from the air. The benefits of capturing large number of allergens and dust particles by the air purifiers resulted in better respiratory function. Air filters have a positive impact on vascular health.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends reducing exposure to air pollutants at home and work to prevent early development of COPD.

Beware: Not all air purifiers can help!

While an air purifier can be very instrumental in ensuring that the air you breathe is allergen-free, there are some air purifiers which could do more harm than good. It is important to choose the right air purifier. Use the following guidelines when purchasing air purifiers for COPD.

Make sure they are Ozone free: Some air purifiers in the market produce ozone which can aggravate lung issues. It is important to buy air purifiers which are CARB (California Air Resource Board) certified.
Avoid buying air purifiers which use ionizers. This air cleaning technology operates by emitting a cloud of charged ions into the air that latches onto airborne contaminants. This process forces these impurities to fall onto the floor and nearby surfaces.

Airpura UV600 can reduce symptoms from COPD and lung issues.

Viruses, bacteria, mold, chemicals, and particles go through four levels of filtration for complete removal of VOC’s and airborne microorganisms like influenza, gastro and even SARS-CoV-2.

Airpura's 18 lbs of custom blended activated carbon adsorbs chemicals, VOC's, gases, and odors
Medical grade HEPA filter provides powerful particle reduction of 99.97% of particulate matter as small as 0.3 microns (including PM2.5, pollen, dust, dander)
Prefilter captures larger particles like dust, pollen and pet dander. It also prevents them from clogging the HEPA filter
UV light that provides an additional level of protection against pathogens.

Airpura I600 with a carbon filter upgrade is the best air purifier to help manage COPD and lung issues. It has an extra-large capacity HEPA filter in a pressure sealed filter chamber traps 99.97% of airborne particles, as small as 0.3 microns.

I am James Robert from Chicago. Few months ago, I fell victim to an online Bitcoin investment scheme that promised high returns within a short period. At first, everything seemed legitimate, their website looked professional, and the people behind it were very convincing. I invested a significant amount of money about $440,000 with the way they talk to me into investing on their bitcoin platform. Two months later I realized that it was a scam when I could no longer have access to my account and couldn’t withdraw my money. At first, I lost hope that I wouldn’t be able to get my money back, I cried and was angry at how I even fell victim to a scam. For days after doing some research and seeking professional help online, I came across GREAT WHIP RECOVERY CYBER SERVICES and saw how they have helped people recover their money back from scammers.

A different approach to air purifiers

After a year, I'm pretty happy with this purifier. I live very close to where the 2025 fires were in Los Angeles. The smoke was awful outside, but things seemed OK with the G714 running inside. Day-to-day since then, things seem fresh even with multiple cats (and a sensitive person) in the household. This purifier was a huge upgrade for me compared to the types of HEPA air filters I've bought in the past, so some things took getting used to. In particular, these units intake air through lots of small holes -- no large gaps or areas that trap hair and need to be cleaned regularly. It was confusing not to have that visual indicator that it was "working." On the other hand, the goal isn't to get big hairs (that's what vacuuming is for!), but keep smaller more dangerous particles out of our lungs. It's also an adjustment not to change the filters as often as cheaper units. It's convenient, of course, but made me wonder at first. The filter seemed to stay surprisingly clean the first couple months and I was questioning if it was really doing its job. After almost a year when I took things apart (and shook out the prefilter outside) it became clear that it had collected a lot. Speaking of taking it apart, the screws seem a little finicky when you need to change filters, so make sure you have the right screwdriver or wrench and take your time so they don't strip. Fortunately you don't have to open it very often, and the upside is that the whole device is very sturdy and seems built like a tank.

Effective air purification for large spaces.

We were so pleased with our first P714 in our apartment, we just acquired our second unit for our home. Built to last, effective and serviceable - these purifier is quiet enough to run nearby, unnoticed in our living spaces, not only removing dust, but also odors and viruses. Excellent!

Simplest pre-filter to change

The pre-filters for my AIRPURA C600-DLX are so simple to change. I had feared it might be complicated, but it is so simple. Just unbolt the four screws on the base, remove the filters and line the unit with the new one. It's ingenious how a paper sheet acts as a funnel to reinsert the carbon filter without catching against the pre-filter and moving it out of position! So simple! I vacuum the outside of my unit every few months to pull out any excess dust from the filter helping it last longer. It's a very effective product and highly recommended!

A True Workhorse

I conducted a lot of research before buying this UV614. I wanted something to help me with mold allergies, and also pet dander. My bedroom smelled completely different after running this unit a few hours, and I noticed I had better sleep quality almost immediately. I also love that the unit has simple to use controls. The dial is easy to turn in the middle of the night as I don't have to find a remote or turn on the lights to operate it as I did with the Dyson before it. It also has a very nice white noise. All around this was more than worth the purchase price. The unit also seems to gather less dust than the Dyson, perhaps because it is bigger. I have had this for 8 months now and it has been maintenance free.

Reassurance

I have bought 3 of these purifiers, one for a friend, one for my daughter & one for us (UV600). It is very reassuring to know this is running & keeping our small home free of contaminates. I believe there may be a mold problem also, so the UV light is an added comfort.
