Lung Breathing

The two small purple deflated balloons represent the lungs we have. The straw is the trachea and with the straw sticking through the cap represents the air we breath in. So if we were to blow through the straw the balloons show air inside and it enlarges. The bottom of the bottle has a larger balloon underneath it and it acts like a diaphragm when its pulled.

Adenocarcinomas are a type of NSCLC, and it is associated with smoking. This type can also be seen in people who develop lung cancer. They can spread to lymph nodes, and frequently develop at multiple sites of the lungs.  It is increasing in frequency and is more common in women. People with this type of lung cancer tend to have a better prognosis than those with other types of lung cancer.

To improve lung health can have many possible ways. They are to quit smoking because it can make you harder to breath and can cause lung cancer. Diaphragmatic breathing, simple deep breathing, counting on your breath, staying hydrated, laughing, and be active.
