Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@gabrielm and @helena4000 as this discussion has turned to food and what we eat, I wonder what, if any, diet or eating habits have you changed or looked into to help control the acid reflux you mentioned? Has the SOB been resolved? I'd love to get an update.
@helpmywhereucan @fracturedd and @merpreb, healthy eating habits certainly contribute to overall health. Hearing your first-hand stories of how changing your diet has contributed to resolving specific symptoms, such as shortness of breath, are instructional and inspiring. But changing how you shop, cook and eat (out and at home) can be challenging. What helped you make healthy eating a habit? What keeps you motivated for the long haul? Are there things that are more challenging to stick to than others?

I can say that I follow the Pritikin diet to a T and none of these diet changes have had any effect on bettering my shortness of breath

@ethanmcconkey- Good morning and thank you for your response. I changed my diet because I had stopped smoking and needed to drop the 15 lbs that I had gained. I changed my whole life around after my first cancer, a cleaner diet was one of them. I also began exercising and researching the importance of certain foods to add to my diet or eliminating them. The word diet is very limiting. I like to consider it a life change when I want to get healthier. And the only way that this can happen is to only buy healthier foods, more fruits and vegetables, lots of water and enough protein to keep you going. And yes to have something fun and sinful every once in a while. And as I said above, keeping my weight down allows me to have more fun, I can move around better because I breathe better.
