Hi,
Do deep breathing exercise daily for 10 minutes in the morning and evening.
Take deep breathing, then hold it for few seconds and then expel air slowly.
This will increase your expansion of chest and lungs.
Having good chest expansion indicates good lungs capacity and healthy lungs.
Ok and take care.
