Premier Club of Prestonwood Court NOVEMBER 2022 NEWSLETTER
Health & Fitness News November is National American Diabetes, Bladder Health, COPD Awareness, Lung Cancer Awareness, Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness, Family Caregivers, Healthy Skin, Stomach Cancer Awareness, and Hospice and Palliative Care Month.
5 WAYS TO PREVENT COPD 1. STOP SMOKING: Number one, of course, is to eliminate your smoking risk. If you have never smoked, don’t start. If you are still smoking, stop now. If you have trouble stopping, ask your doctor for help. There are many effective medications and smoking cessation programs that work.

2. AVOID SECONDHAND SMOKE: “We always ask patients how much they’ve been exposed to secondhand smoke,” says Dr. Wu. There is plenty of research that shows secondhand smoke adds to the risk of COPD. Per the World Health Organization, 10 percent of smoking-related deaths are due to secondhand smoke. 3. AVOID AIR POLLUTION: “In third world countries, smoke from cooking over wood fires is a major cause of COPD,” says Wu. In the United States, dust, smoke from unventilated wood stoves, and smoke from burning biomass may contribute to the condition. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency advises checking your daily air quality at www.airnow.gov. 4. AVOID OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURES: “Miners who work with cadmium and gold have an increased risk of COPD,” says Wu. Other occupational exposures linked to the condition include coal dust, chemical fumes, concrete dust, mineral dust, and cotton or grain dusts. One study found that occupational exposures may contribute to about 20 percent of COPD cases. 5. KNOW YOUR FAMILY HISTORY: “There must be some genetic component that increases the risk for COPD, because some people with a family history get the condition earlier and more severely,” says Wu. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is an inherited disease you need to know about. If you have the gene for this disease, you could get COPD without smoking. A blood test can tell if you carry the gene.
