Keep things simple

Sometimes people think they have to do things the hard way, otherwise, they tell themselves, its not worthwhile. Remind yourself that its okay to do things the easy way sometimes, especially when you have a good reason. And COPD is one of those good reasons. Your body uses so much more energy to breathe that any additional physical strain can cause real problems. Keeping things simple is an essential part of protecting your health. 

The kitchen can be the most difficult room to organise, even if you don't have COPD. The trick here is to keep within easy reach the things you use most often. That means, for example, storing plates, bowls, cups and glasses on the bottom shelves of your wall cabinets so you dont have to stretch too far to get to them. If you have room, store a frying pan, a saucepan, and a baking dish there too. that way you wont have to bend over to get these things out of your under counter cabinets as often.

Slide out trays for your under counter cabinets make it easier to see what you've got and reach it. Lazy susans are excellent additions to pantries and cabinets, because they allow you to see spices , storage containers and various other sundries with just a spin.

Keep a tall stool in the kitchen so you can sit at the counter while you prepare foods or at the sink while you wash up.

Eliminate unnecessary movement around the kitchen by keeping like things together. Use a decorative canister to store coffee on the countertop next to the coffeemaker, for example, and keep you r coffeee cups in the cabinet above.

The same principle applies to organising your pantry, freezer and refrigerator. Keep like things together.. sugar, flour and other staples grouped , like canned goods and so on. Put the things you use most often on the middle shelves so you can easily see and reach them. Things you dont use as often can go on top or bottom shelves.

These tips are so important when you have COPD, you may have a hard time lifting, carrying, bending and stretching and those limitations make a lot of daily activities much more difficult. Even something as simple as pulling up the covers on your bed can be an exhausing feat.

The simple tips above means you can do many things to make your daily routine more convenient and easier on your body.
