MyCOPDTeam has partnered with the Home Rehab Network to bring you videos filled with helpful tips and exercises that you can do from the comfort of your own home.
It’s important for anyone with a chronic illness to eat nutritious foods. While many people think healthy eating is short on flavor, it can be easy to cook something anyone would want for dinner.
