Publisher's Synopsis
When living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), good nutrition should be a top priority. People with COPD have higher calorie requirements due to the effort it takes to breathe. The muscles involved every time you take a breath can use 10 times more calories in someone with COPD than in those without the condition. You might not think calorie requirements merit concern if you're overweight, but being overweight doesn't mean you're adequately nourished, We focus on improving a person's COPD diet first, and then we worry about weight loss.
