What is COPD?

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

A group of lung diseases that block airflow and make breathing difficult.

Includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema

Risk Factors

Who is at risk?

* Cigarette smoking & air pollution

* Secondhand smoke

* Long-term exposure to dust, chemicals & fumes

* Genetic condition (Alpha-1 deficiency)

* Childhood respiratory infections

Common Symptoms

Watch for these signs:

* Persistent cough or wheezing

* Excess phlegm or mucus

* Shortness of breath

* Chest tightness

* Low energy

* Swelling in legs, feet, or ankles

When to See a Doctor

Don’t delay care if you have breathing trouble.

A simple test called spirometry can check lung function and detect COPD early.

* Severe breathlessness

* Bluish lips or fingernails

Early treatment can save lives.

Ulcer, acidity, or heartburn? Your favourite brew might be the culprit. Sip smart

The Problem

Not Recommended if you have:

* Ulcers

* Frequent acidity

* Heartburn

Because tea & coffee increase stomach acid and irritate the stomach lining.

Why They Worsen Symptoms

* Caffeine triggers more acid production

* Relaxes the valve → acid reflux

* Can worsen burning, pain & discomfort

* Slows down ulcer healing

Better Alternatives

Choose soothing drinks:

* Warm water

* Buttermilk

* Tender coconut water

* Caffeine-free herbal teas

Give your stomach a break — choose gentle drinks.
