  • Fungal infections might occur in your mouth and throat, so it is advisable to gargle with warm water after each inhalation of Airforu L DPI Capsule.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Consume potassium-rich foods such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots because potassium is essential for lung function and a potassium deficiency can cause breathing problems.
  • Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus and make coughing easier.
  • Consume complex carbohydrates such as lentils, beans, barley, oats, quinoa, bran, peas, and potatoes with skin.
  • Limit or avoid caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee, soda, and energy drinks such as Red Bull.
  • Consume protein-rich foods like meat, fish (especially salmon, sardines, and mackerel), eggs, and poultry.
  • Exercise on a regular basis to strengthen your breathing muscles and strengthen your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will assist you in moving more air into and out of your lungs.
  • Quit smoking because it can reduce the effectiveness of the Airforu L DPI Capsule and irritate the lungs, exacerbating the breathing problem.
