\"Healthy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Staying healthy usually means something different to everyone whether it\u2019s eating a certain way or participating in a favorite physical activity. As 2020 gets into full swing, let\u2019s consider a super important but often forgotten organ that plays a huge role in everyone\u2019s health – the lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a New York City individual\u2019s lungs don\u2019t work properly, it can impact their health, and as a result, there can be a negative impact on all parts of their life including their job. One way to keep the lungs healthy is to exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American Lung Association, a nonprofit organization that works to improve lung health and prevent lung disease, sponsors an annual event that not only helps raise funds for the organization but also highlights the importance of exercise for lung health. It\u2019s called the Fight For Air Climb, and it honors National Take the Stairs Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the stair-climbing event, participants, from running and fitness enthusiasts to people of all abilities, take the stairs instead of the elevator to get to the top floor in the event. Often, the buildings used for Fight For Air Climb are tall skyscrapers with many flights of stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If attending an event like the Fight for Air Climb isn\u2019t an option for New York City employees, there are other ways to add small steps of exercise into one\u2019s day such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking further away from the door, going on a walk during a lunch break and taking a stretch break during the workday. Regular exercise has other benefits as well. It boosts energy levels, improves muscle strength and increases the immune system\u2019s ability to fight infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Healthy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The type of snacks<\/a> and beverages that a New York City employee consumes can also have an impact on lung health. In addition to improving productivity and alertness, staying hydrated keeps the lungs working more effectively by thinning out linings located in the lungs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portion size is another factor that can affect how well the lungs work. Not only can consistently eating portions that are too big cause weight gain, but they can also cause the stomach to be too full, decreasing the amount of space that the lungs have to expand. Healthy options to consider adding to one\u2019s diet include lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consuming water and other hydrating beverages<\/a> plus healthy snacks provides a lot of benefits that many individuals never need to consider. In 2020, New York City employers and school districts have an opportunity to help their employees or students make healthier decisions by considering the types of snacks and beverages that are offered in the office break room or school lunchroom<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
