Seniors are more susceptible to lung problems in autumn due to colder temperatures and stronger winds. Their lungs work harder, making coughs and illnesses more common. As lungs deteriorate with age, recovery is more difficult. Seniors should eat a moisturizing diet with soups, stews and foods containing healthy oils to prevent dryness. Ingredients like tofu, fruits, nuts and vegetables can help keep lungs moist.
