  5. I've come across some information online suggesting that being able to hold your breath for over a minute means you have healthy lungs. I'm curious if this is a valid test for lung health. I personally can hold my breath for a minute and a half. Does that mean my lungs are in good shape, or should I be looking at other signs?
