Detox Step 10: Lungs

Lung Detox in Detail

The lungs ensure proper gas exchange, delivering oxygen to the cells and removing carbon dioxide with exhalation. A lesser known factor is that the lungs play an important role in our immunity through the MALT. Symptoms that your lungs are having difficulty keeping up could be a cough, shortness of breath, and poor exercise tolerance.
