are essential organs responsible for supplying oxygen to the body and removing carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism.

Fitness coach Dan Go, who has over 740K followers on Instagram, has shared 5 ways in which you can make your lungs stronger. There is no debate that exercise is crucial for your physical and mental health. One way to keep your lungs healthy is to incorporate 'Max heart rate cardio' in your routine. He calls it the 'heavy lifting' for your lungs. This high-intensity exercise pushes your heart rate to its upper limits and challenges your respiratory system to adapt and grow stronger. These exercises include sprinting, cycling, or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that elevate your heart rate significantly. "It can be as little as 30 seconds up to 20-minute intervals," he asserts. Zone 2 cardio is a moderate-intensity exercise where you're working just above the level where you can comfortably hold a conversation. This type of training enhances your aerobic capacity and allows your lungs to process oxygen more efficiently over time. Activities like brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling at a steady pace work well. You can aim for 150–180 minutes per week. Breathe! Yes, that's right. Diaphragmatic breathing, also known as belly breathing, is a targeted technique to engage the diaphragm, the primary muscle responsible for respiration. The coach also describes how to ace it. Step 1. Breathe through your nose so deeply that your stomach expands. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Do this for 4 seconds. Step 2. Hold for 6 seconds Step 3. Breathe out through the nose for 8 seconds. He suggests practicing this for 4 to 13 minutes. Well, this might come as a surprise to you, but most of us breathe through our mouths every now and then. Breathing through your nose is a simple yet highly effective way to improve lung function. Unlike mouth breathing, nose breathing filters out dust and allergens, humidifies the air, and regulates airflow to the lungs. 'Keep your breathing through your nose to slow your breathing rate and improve overall lung volume,' he . Modern jobs and lifestyle have made us all slouch. Good posture is what's missing in many people. Your posture directly impacts how much air your lungs can hold. Slouching compresses the chest cavity, and limits lung expansion. Pull your shoulder blades back and down. Place your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Lift your chest slightly to open up your ribcage. Now practice breathing.

Take care of your lungs and they'll set you up for a great life ahead,' the coach added.

3 Doors Down Frontman Brad Arnold Diagnosed With Stage 4 Kidney Cancer
Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated rock band 3 Doors Down, has asked his fans for prayers after revealing that he was diagnosed with stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer. Arnold, 46, shared the news in an Instagram 'Got some not-so-good news for you today,' he wrote. 'So I've been sick a couple of weeks ago and then went to the hospital and got checked out and had actually got the diagnosis that I had a clear cell renal [cell] carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And it's stage 4, and that's not real good.' The singer was supported by many of his fellow musicians in the comment section. 'I hate to hear that,' wrote country star Jason Aldean. 'Praying for ya brother.' 'If anyone has the faith and strength to face this fight, it's you brother,' added Creed frontman Scott Stapp. Related Stories 4/8/2025 4/25/2025 According to the National Cancer Institute, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, also known as ccRCC, is the most common form of kidney cancer, accounting for about 80 percent of all cases. The Cleveland Clinic reports that ccRCC is more prevalent in men than women and is typically diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70. Symptoms may include bloody urine, fatigue, fever, weight loss, or a lump in the abdomen. In addition to undergoing surgery to remove the mass, treatment usually entails immunotherapy to ward off cancer cells or targeted therapy to stop them from growing. Arnold said he is maintaining a positive outlook despite his diagnosis, sharing that his band's 2008 single 'It's Not My Time' has become his personal anthem. 'We serve a mighty God and He can overcome anything, so I have no fear,' the singer said. 'I really sincerely am not scared of it at all. But it is gonna force us to cancel our tour this summer, and we're sorry for that, and I'd love for you to lift me up in prayer every chance you get.' The Mississippi native founded 3 Doors Down in 1996 with childhood friends Matt Roberts and Todd Harrell, releasing the debut album 'The Better Life' in 2000. Harrell left the band in 2013 after being arrested for vehicular manslaughter. He was later sentenced to two years in prison. Roberts died in 2016 at the age of 38 from a prescription drug overdose.

Brad Arnold of '3 Doors Down' and the rise of young people getting cancer
Brad Arnold of '3 Doors Down' and the rise of young people getting cancer Brad Arnold, the lead vocalist for 3 Doors Down, revealed this week on May 7 that he's been diagnosed with advanced stage kidney cancer. "I've got some not-so-good news for you today," Arnold, 46, said in an Instagram video. "So, I'd been sick a couple of weeks ago and then went to the hospital and got checked out and had actually got the diagnosis that I had clear cell renal carcinoma that had metastasized into my lung. And it's stage 4, and that's not real good." Young celebrity after celebrity have recently announced they have (or had) cancer. James Van Der Beek. Jenna Fischer. Olivia Munn. Princess Kate. Elle Macpherson. The list goes on. What's going on? There's no exact cause known for the rise in cancers among young people, according to experts, but researchers are trying to figure it out. The best bet for a health-conscious person is fine-tuning diet and exercise routines, staying up-to-date on screenings, listening to your body and going to regular doctor's appointments. Screenings will vary by age group. But given the higher incidence rate in young people, would that mean earlier screenings may be necessary? "We're not, at this point, recommending that everybody who's 30 go out and get screening tests," Dr. John Marshall, director of The Ruesch Center for the Cure of GI Cancers at Georgetown University, previously told USA TODAY. "But what we are recommending is that when people do have symptoms, that they don't write it off as other things." 'Out of the blue' When Marshall – a self-described "old oncologist" – first started his career, no one under the age of 50 sat down in his clinic. Now they make up about half his patients. A significant portion are in their 30s and 40s, mostly with colon cancer. "Most of these people are in fact, very healthy, very conscious of what they eat," he said. "They're exercise people, they're the 'right weight,' and no family history for these cancers, and it's kind of out of the blue." He's not alone. "In my own practice I have seen, and statistically we have seen nationwide," Dr. Emil Lou, professor of medicine at the University of Minnesota previously told USA TODAY, "a stunning rise in cases that we now refer to as 'early onset' or 'young adult' cancers, generally defined as occurring in individuals younger than 50 years of age." A leading theory behind this incidence uptick is all the changes to our microbiome over time – the environment, air, water, etc. "A lot of folks suspect that there's early life exposures that may have something to do with either our water supply or our food supply," Dr. Mohamed Abazeed, co-leader of the Lung Cancer Program in the Lurie Cancer Center at Northwestern University, also previously told USA TODAY. Marshall wondered: Is it our water quality? Is it food processing? All these factors have potential consequences for our health, beyond cancer. But cancer is drawing attention given its grave nature. 'It could have spread' Perhaps if people routinely visited their primary care physician, they could catch diseases before they develop or spread. More than three-quarters of Americans put off important health check-ups, according to a recent Aflac Wellness Matters Survey. It's higher for millennials at 84%. For those eligible for health screenings like a colonoscopy, physicians could catch and remove precancerous polyps in addition to checking for cancer already present. Jenna Fischer, 50, said in an Instagram post sharing her breast cancer journey: "My tumor was so small it could not be felt on a physical exam. If I had waited six months longer, things could have been much worse. It could have spread." Treat your symptoms 'seriously' Of course, it's critical to think about data in context. People have been less likely to die from cancer over the last few decades despite the increasing incidence rate. Still, Marshall cautioned both patients and medical professionals to not brush away concerning symptoms just because someone is young. Don't send a 30-year-old with rectal bleeding away assuming it's a hemorrhoid; if that person was 60 or 70, you wouldn't immediately rule out colon cancer. Lou added: "Ultimately, knowing your body and trusting your intuition if you feel something is wrong is important to recognize at any age. If you report your symptoms to a medical care team and don't feel that you are being heard, then be persistent and seek out additional opinions." The short of it: If you experience dietary or weight changes or a shift in bowel habits that lasts for weeks? Go to the doctor. "That's generally the way these things show up," Marshall said, "sort of vague, early symptoms that don't seem to go away. Treat them seriously."
