How to Improve Your Breathing with COVID-19               Try to spend as little time as possible flat on your back! The largest part of your lungs are in the back of your body. When you lay on your back this causes fluid to pool in those parts of your lungs making it harder to breathe. Laying in different positions or sitting up will allow all the different parts of your lung to expand properly. You may notice it is easier to breathe immediately or soon after changing positions.                One of the best positions for this is called 'prone position' which is laying face down on your belly. This position makes it easiest for the biggest parts of your lungs to expand easily. This is called 'proning' and the more time spent proning the happier your lungs will be. Laying on your sides or sitting up in a chair is also helpful for breathing and changing positions helps keep your skin healthy.   Tips to Help with Repositioning ? Try placing pillows under the chest, hips, and lower legs when lying face down ? Trying different arm and leg positions can assist with comfort  ? Eat your meals sitting up in a chair when possible ? When laying on your side, a pillow behind you will help you not to roll on your back if you fall asleep ? If a position is too uncomfortable move on to another; comfort and rest are important parts of recovery ? Switch positions in a rotation to help all the areas of your lungs expand
