Q: 40s - f - uk.
I've recently been diagnosed with COPD which is Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. I also have unstable asthma. Due to this I have to take steroids quite often which makes me put on weight. The extra weight is not good as it puts more strain on my lungs. I am trying to be careful with what I eat. I'm not fat as such, but definitely under height for my weight!
I find it very difficult to exercise, walk far etc, due to the lung disease, but I need some form of exercise to try to keep the COPD at bay as long as possible.
Also, due in part to the steroids I have early onset osteoporosis, so exercise would be good for that as well. Doctors have not really been much help. Any suggestions please?
i cant really give to many suggestions to this one because its a hard spot to be in .i would cut out alll my junk food even if i had to hide it from myself .i would olny eat like cherrys,fish,cucumbers,lettuce,salary,berries,cheese,that kind of healthy stuff.i know it may be hard but this could be your life we are talking about.maybe when you go for walks take a few bootl;es of water with ya .while your walking you can drink them and also use them as weights to lift .if you ave to stop ,even if its every three seconds ,thats okay .let mer know how this all works out for ya .
lots of love,lizzie

I'm vegetarian and already eat a lot of fruit and veg, very little junk food, and drink a lot of water. I have to go for walks with someone in case I have problems and that's not always possible. Thanks anyway.
