Lungs Power You, but What Powers the Lungs?

Lungs are responsible to deliver oxygen to our body for further essential functioning. Sounds simple, isn’t it? But it’s a highly indispensable task for our body, thus all the more reasons to eat healthily and give proper nutrition to our lungs. It’s no surprise that people are suddenly working much harder to keep their lungs healthy amidst this deadly pandemic and pollution. After all, Lung health is a gear in the machine that makes your body work efficiently.

Broccoli

The compound, sulforaphane which is present in huge amount in broccoli produces protective enzymes that protect against chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, asthma and other related respiratory ailments. Other cruciferous vegetables such as kale or cabbage also contain a good amount of sulforaphane. 

Apricots

The high amount of vitamin A present in apricot keeps your lungs healthy. Vitamin A supports the respiratory tract linings and also decreases the risk of other lung infections. 

Water

By adding this simplest thing to your routine, you’re protecting your lungs from many infections. Always remember, dry lungs are prone to irritation and further to infections. So have enough water every day to keep your mucosal linings hydrated. 

Berries

Berries such as blueberries, acai berries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc. are rich in antioxidants, which are considered great for the lung health. 

Turmeric

The best known natural antiseptic in Indian households, turmeric has great anti-inflammatory properties because of curcumin. It plays an important role in maintaining our lung health and helps in curing asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and other lung issues. 

Ginger

Ginger is a very customary and significant ingredient in many food recipes that we consume and is a mine of benefits for the lungs. The anti-inflammatory qualities in ginger relieve asthma! It is also endorsed for breaking down the mucus and dismissing it.

Apple 

An apple a day not only keeps your doctor away but also keeps lung problems at bay. Studies have shown that consuming apple can reduce the risk of lung cancer and asthma. Overall, it helps in the proper functioning of the entire respiratory system and lungs.

The diet we consume or the nourishment we get affects the tubes and vessels keeping them open and clear. It’s important to consume food that lowers the inflammation and keeps the blood vessels wide open. So eat best, eat fresh, and keep your lungs healthy.
