Hininga mo ba ay parang pabilis nang pabilis na napapagod? Huwag balewalain ang senyales ng iyong baga!

Sa pang-araw-araw na biyahe, trabaho, at usok ng lungsod, madalas natin nakakalimutan na ang bawat paghinga natin ay biyaya—biyaya na kailangan ding alagaan.

Minsan, ang simpleng ubo na "pabalik-balik" o ang mabilis na pagkahapo ay hindi lang dahil sa napagod ka sa trabaho. Maaari na itong tahimik na panawagan ng iyong katawan.

Bakit mahalagang pag-usapan ito ngayon?
👥 Hindi lang ito sakit ng mga matatanda o naninigarilyo—kahit sino ay pwedeng maapektuhan.
🛑 Ang alaga sa baga ay hindi nag-uumpisa sa ospital; nag-uumpisa ito sa ating mga pang-araw-araw na desisyon.
🩺 Ang maagang pag-alam at pagpatingin ang pinakamalakas nating depensa.
👇 Suriin ang infographic sa ibaba!

Itong hinanda namin ang mga simpleng hakbang na pwede mong simulan ngayon para maprotektahan ang iyong baga.

Sama-sama tayong maging mas mapagmatyag sa ating kalusugan. I-tag ang pamilya o kaibigan na kailangang makakita nito ngayon! ❤️
