Living with #bronchiectasis doesn’t mean you can’t live a full and active life. Here are some simple daily habits to help manage your symptoms and boost your lung health: 🏃♀️ Stay Active: Gentle, low-impact exercises like walking or cycling can help improve lung function and keep mucus moving. Aim for at least 30 minutes of activity daily. 💧 Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps thin out mucus, making it easier to clear from your lungs. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water a day. 🌬 Breathing Exercises: Incorporating techniques like deep breathing or diaphragmatic breathing can help strengthen your lungs and improve airflow. Don’t forget to do these exercises daily. These small but powerful habits can make a big difference in your day-to-day life. Keep moving, keep hydrated, and keep breathing strong.

Regular doctor check-ups are crucial for individuals with #bronchiectasis to effectively manage their condition and maintain their quality of life. These check-ups provide an opportunity for healthcare providers to monitor lung function, assess the progression of the disease, and adjust treatment plans as needed. Routine visits also enable early detection of potential complications, such as infections or exacerbations, which can be critical in preventing more severe health issues. Additionally, regular consultations allow for personalized advice on lifestyle adjustments, such as managing symptoms and adhering to prescribed therapies, ultimately helping to minimize flare-ups and improve overall respiratory health. Through consistent medical oversight, individuals with bronchiectasis can achieve better control over their condition and enhance their day-to-day well-being.

What does Diane Kaufman love about Electromed? “Culture, culture, culture. Our people get results, enjoy what they do, and care. I am blessed to help champion that.“ Working wherever her husband in the Marine Corps was stationed, Diane was first introduced to HR by chance when she took a temp job in "Personnel" while living in California. She quickly discovered a passion for the field and, with the support of incredible mentors, rose through the ranks. Over the years, her career evolved as she took on leadership roles, managing entire divisions and eventually landing a global HR position. After a brief attempt at retirement, she found herself at Electromed—what she calls “the best HR job of her career, thanks to the supportive culture and remarkable people”. Outside of work, Diane is an author and has written two books: HR Bullcrap and The Magical Mystical Santa Sleigh. She embraces her adventurous side, traveling the world with her husband to see Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. She’s also passionate about NCAA women's basketball and has a bucket list goal of attending the Final Four. On weekends, you’ll find her and her family enjoying time on the water, boating up north. One of the most memorable moments in Diane’s life was earning a track scholarship to a Big Ten school—a goal she set for herself as an 8th grader and achieved through sheer determination. “Electromed has an environment where you feel empowered to achieve great results, and there’s nothing quite like being part of a team that makes a real difference in people’s lives.” If you're interested in joining Electromed, Inc., check out our current openings: https://lnkd.in/gq4d48Wu
