The need for a healthy diet is something that every person shares, young and old, sick and healthy, and everything in between. However, the importance of good nutrition grows as we get older, and it becomes critical for many people living with chronic diseases like COPD.

If you’ve spent some time perusing the internet for oxygen supplies, oxygen concentrators, or oxygen companies, you’re probably well aware of how difficult it can be to find exactly what you’re looking for. While you want simple and straightforward solutions to your oxygen needs, you’re instead met with scams, misleading advertising, and pages and pages of statistics; most of which is useless information. As a result, many people end up with oxygen supplies that don’t suit their wants and needs.

In this day and age, convenience and reliability are everything. With how busy the average American is in their day-to-day life, most of us expect things like our phones, vehicles, and medical equipment to work as they’re intended all the time. By doing so, we’re able to enjoy the freedom to go where we want and do the things we set out to do without anything standing in our way.

Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed with COPD or you’ve had it for some time, finding the right oxygen concentrator is key to your well-being. A high-quality oxygen concentrator that meets all your wants and needs will provide you with the freedom you need to get out and explore the world, pursue your dreams and aspirations, and most importantly, spend more time with friends and family. All of which would simply be impossible to accomplish while using a bulky and heavy oxygen tank or no oxygen therapy device at all. 

Being a COPD caregiver is no simple or straightforward task; it requires empathy, endurance, compassion, and creativity to fulfill the many different roles and responsibilities that the job requires. It often demands a great deal of time and self-sacrifice, while also requiring a seemly endless well of energy and patience.

Oxygen is a colorless and odorless gas that is essential for maintaining life on earth. In humans, oxygen plays a crucial role in a process called cellular respiration where nutrients in the body are broken down and converted to usable energy. The atmosphere is around 21 percent oxygen which is enough for healthy lungs to maintain every cell in the body.

Those who work in the US military make great sacrifices in service of their country. Those sacrifices often include putting their lives at risk in a number of ways.

We love getting new products here at LPT Medical. The more oxygen concentrators we can offer oxygen patients, the more options they have to live life on their own terms without being defined by their disease. We’re happy to say that our latest pulse flow portable oxygen concentrator, the Caire Freestyle Comfort, does just that!

One of the main priorities in COPD treatment is keeping symptoms of the disease—such as breathlessness, coughing, and excess mucus—under control. However, this isn't always an easy thing to do, and COPD symptoms can get worse without much warning, even when you do everything right.

It’s a new year and a new decade which means it’s time to start working on those resolutions you’ve been planning in 2019. For some of us, that means getting to the gym more often or creating a more solidified financial plan. But if you suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), treating your condition might be at the core of your resolutions.
