Your respiratory health reflects how well your lungs and airways function to supply oxygen to the body and remove carbon dioxide. Good respiratory health allows you to breathe easily, stay active, and support overall energy levels. Factors such as physical activity, exposure to air pollution, smoking habits, and even posture can greatly influence how well your respiratory system performs. By assessing these factors, you can gain a clearer understanding of how healthy your lungs are and what steps you can take to improve or maintain optimal breathing function.
