post by pravallika Test your lungs The simplest way to measure the health of your lungs is to walk briskly for two minutes while chatting to a friend, or call a friend on a mobile phone and talk to them while you’re walking up and down the stairs, says Professor Stephen Spiro, vice-chairman of the British Lung Foundation. ‘If you find yourself breathless — meaning your breathing becomes fast or uncomfortable — or wheezing, you need to go to see the GP.’ Exercise forces the lungs to work harder, requiring deeper and faster breathing, because the body requires more oxygen during this time.
