I read that taking statins can protect lungs from smoking and volume loss from other irritants. Worth looking into!

Has anyone heard of any stem cell research to increase/repair lung capacity? I'm looking at getting all the current research together and writing an article on it.

its the repair effect........
when you push your body to the limit, your is then in pain, which means your muscles are teared up and need to be repaired when your body is naturally 24 hrs later the body responds to your limit, making a new body limit usually surpassing the limit you passed during training

I have taken up running about 4 months ago. I am improving and getting firmer all over. The only problem is my lung capacity, I get breathless very easily and get a small degree of pain. People say I just need to push myself harder!!!! But I am trying and only stop when I am just about to collapse!!. Any ideas how to increase my distances??

Last year at Harvard Medical School they used stem cells to make a lung, which worked for six hours in a rat.

Increase your lung capacity please

As an ex smoker I'm lazy and really cannot be bothered to climb mountains for low pressure breathing exercises and what not. WTF can I do to improve my lung capacity now on the ground without exercising. What stem cell trials are there??? Please respond!!!!! Thank you

Great thinking! That really braeks the mold!
