Healthy Resources for Managing COPD

HealthyResources for managing COPD provides books (Courage and Information), information (COPD TODAY, an online magazine), community, services, and products to help you (and your family) to manage your health. HealthyResources is dedicated to empowering people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. People with COPD have difficulty getting air to flow out of the lung normally, and includes chronic bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis, and emphysema. Tobacco smoke is the major cause but industrial pollutants or an inherited lack of alpha-1 antitrypsin can also lead to lung damage and COPD. Appropriate treatment can re-open the door to life and the chance to live a better quality of life by taking active control. You can learn to use the medical principles of pulmonary rehabilitation and succeed through your own personal determination.

A diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease doesn't spell the end of an active life, but it must be dealt with effectively. In "COPD: A life challenge," Mary Grauerholz introduces us to the experiences of people living with COPD and of people who love and care for them. In related articles and resources we explain and expand on the ideas in the story.
