Online Community Do More With Oxygen Shares Tips for Better Understanding the Nutrition Facts Label
Free Guide Helps Those With Chronic Lung Disease Make Healthier Diet Choices
(firmenpresse) - CLEVELAND, OH -- (Marketwired) -- 06/11/13 -- When a person is diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a progressive disease that makes it difficult to breathe, or other chronic lung disease, he or she encounters a number of challenges. One such challenge is ingesting enough calories to counteract the effects of the disease.
Because the muscles used in breathing may require 10 times more calories than those of a person without COPD, doctors commonly recommend COPD patients consume more higher-calorie foods. However, not all higher-calorie foods are ideal selections for those with difficulty breathing. That's why it's imperative those with COPD learn to interpret and understand the Nutrition Facts Label found on every packaged food item.
To help, the online community Do More With Oxygen created the guide "Understanding Nutrition Facts Labels to Maintain a Healthy Diet with COPD."
