31st October Let’s Talk Nutrition

Good nutrition is important for everyone, but for people with pulmonary fibrosis it’s particularly important. Eating a proper diet helps maintain a healthy weight, provides energy, and keeps the immune system working. Being overweight can put extra pressure on the lungs making it harder to breathe. On the other hand, being underweight can lead to a weakening of your breathing muscles. It’s a difficult balance.

In ILFA’s latest Let’s Talk session, Nutrition for People Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis, Sandra Murphy, Clinical Specialist Dietitian in Cystic Fibrosis Ireland & Heart & Lung Transplant Unit of the Mater Hospital will discuss the link between diet and health and provide guidance for attendees in maintaining proper nutrition to support optimal health.
