A proper diet can improve the condition of the lungs, including those of smokers, according to US scientists.
The fruit that smokers must eat
"Apples have a beneficial effect on the condition of the lungs in people with nicotine addiction," the experts are categorical.
According to researchers, apples contain substances that protect the lining of the lungs from damage and inflammation. If the lungs are already damaged, the substances in this fruit contribute to their accelerated tissue repair.
This is confirmed by data from an experiment with 600 smokers. Scientists analyzed the characteristics of their diet, smoking and health status. It turns out that smokers who regularly consume apples provide their lungs with more reliable protection against diseases.
"Smokers who eat a small apple and a few tomatoes daily have better lung health than others. They also breathe more air," the study authors said.
They note that the use of fresh tomatoes and apples is effective in restoring the lungs of smokers - fresh juices do not give such a result.
