Lung Cancer and the Benefits of Holistic Strategies

What Do Our Lungs Do?

Our lungs are responsible for bringing oxygen into our bodies and eliminating carbon dioxide from our blood. They also help control the acid-base balance in our body, regulate blood pressure, and produce hormones that help regulate metabolism and growth. In addition to these critical functions, our lungs protect us from infectious diseases. The lining of the lungs contains cells that fight off bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other organisms that can make us sick.
