Water Drinking
I have a quick "Tip" that I would like to share with everyone. "Water Drinking"... It is one of the most important treatments for Lung Disease. The water helps to keep the mucus thin and thus makes it easier to cough up. It is suggested that we drink 8-16 cups of water or juice a day. It may take a few days to a week for you to notice the difference. This much fluid will make you urinate more, but in time your body will adjust. I drink at least 16 glasses of fluids a day... this is good for me because I perspire so much. I also drink Gatorade to maintain my electrolyte level. PLEASE ask your doctor if 8-16 cups of fluids is ok for you to drink. Some people cannot drink alot of fluids because of Kidney Disease, Prostrate trouble or Heart Disease. So...just as a precaution... check with your doctor first. Breathe Easy! ... 1 2 3 Inhale ... 1 2 3 4 Exhale, Sandy

I had no idea that fluids could help. I am going to suggest this to a woman at work who has a lung condition, and have her check with her doctor. Maybe it can help her also. Thanks...
