10. Prevention
Pulmonary edema is a condition that can be prevented in many cases. Much of the time, this involves keeping in good health to keep the heart in good condition. Even occasional mild exercise can make a big difference, as can eating a balanced diet of fresh foods.
Other ways to prevent pulmonary edema is to prevent the lungs against anything that can damage them, such as smoke and chemicals. In addition, any infections or other medical conditions involving the lungs should be treated as soon as possible. Remember also that if pulmonary edema does occur, it should be treated as soon as it is diagnosed.
