Lungs are amazing! They help you breathe in the oxygen you need to live and breathe out carbon dioxide, which is a waste product.Every part of your body needs oxygen from the air you breathe to survive. Your lungs have a delicate structure and do the complex jobs of breathing and moving oxygen to the rest of your body. They also help protect your body from outside attacks.Most of the time, you don't even notice your lungs working. But they can be damaged in many ways. When this happens, they become less effective at taking oxygen from the air and getting rid of waste carbon dioxide.You breathe about 22,000 times every day, so your breath and your lungs are incredibly important for your body to work well.Learn more: lungfoundation.com.au/protect-your-lungs/how-your-lungs-work/Visit our website to learn about the health services we provide at Magill Family Practice or call us on (08) 8331 9061. www.magillfamilypractice.com.au/
