COPD, or Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is broken down into four different stages. The first stage is Mild COPD. The second is a moderate cough. The third is severe COPD and the fourth is very severe and may be fatal.
When thinking about a COPD diet, bear in mind that according to the American Lung Association, people with COPD require 10 times as many calories to breathe than a healthy person. An example of a COPD meal plan would be as follows: 1/2 grapefruit or 1 orange, grits or cream of wheat with butter, and cinnamon. 1 cup of green or black tea with sweetener of your choice. Cottage cheese and an english muffin. This is of course an example for a breakfast meal. You want to eat high calorie, but low fat diet with lots of fluids and of course keep your sugar intake in mind.
