on Sunday Morning Magazine: Dr. Kerlan Wolsey is a pulmonologist with Pacific Medical Centers, discusses lung health, building it and maintaining it. Our cool moist northwest climate contributes to lung challenges so it’s important to pay attention to the things going on with our breathing. The simple activity of 30-minutes of walking 5 days/week helps to build lung strength, and since many of us have been more sedentary over the past 2 years, this is a good and simple activity. Also, steer clear of any kind of smoking activity.
