Key components of a COPD diet
Fruits and vegetables: Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables to get essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that support the immune system and overall health. Aim for different colors and varieties, like citrus fruits, leafy greens, and broccoli.
Lean protein: Include a source of protein at most meals to maintain strong muscles, including the ones used for breathing.
Good choices: Lean meats, fish, eggs, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, and low-fat dairy.
For weight gain: Choose higher-fat protein options like whole milk, cheese, and yogurt.
Complex carbohydrates: Opt for whole-grain versions for sustained energy and fiber.
Examples: Brown rice, whole wheat bread, and oats.
Healthy fats: Choose unsaturated fats found in plant-based oils and foods.
Examples: Olive oil, canola oil, avocados, nuts, and fatty fish like salmon.
Fluids: Drink plenty of fluids, primarily water, throughout the day to help thin mucus.
Avoid: Carbonated drinks, which can cause bloating, and limit caffeine, which can have a diuretic effect.

Protecting your health is key when managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Because people with COPD are at a higher risk of severe illness from respiratory infections, staying up to date on recommended vaccinations—including for flu, pneumonia, COVID-19, and RSV (if eligible)—is crucial. These vaccines help reduce the severity of symptoms, decrease the risk of hospitalizations, and keep you breathing easier. Talk to your healthcare provider to ensure you have all your recommended shots and help stay healthy this season!
