9.Get More Fiber
Because you’re unlikely to get all of the 25 to 30 grams of fiber you need each day from breakfast alone, include high-fiber foods in your other meals. A bowl of low-sodium split pea or lentil soup makes an excellent hot lunch. Other good sources of fiber include dry beans, bran, brown rice, whole-grain cereals and breads, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
10.COPD Caution: Gas-Inducing Foods
While foods like a bean burrito do provide protein and fiber, use caution. Foods that cause gas or bloating can make breathing feel harder. Common culprits include carbonated beverages, greasy fried foods, heavily spiced foods, beans, and vegetables like cabbage and broccoli. But each person reacts a little differently. Keep a food diary to see which ones affect you; then steer clear of the troublemakers.
