Worried about lung damage caused by smoking? Then quit smoking and consume more than two tomatoes or fresh fruits daily, especially apples.
This compensates for the damage done to the lungs.
The findings of a research show that people who quit smoking and consume more tomatoes and fruits have less decline in lung function over a period of 10 years.
Weak lungs increase a person’s chances of death, which are due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, and lung cancer.
According to leading researcher John Hapkins Bloomberg School of Public Health assistant professor Vanesha Garcia-Larsen, this research suggests that diet can help repair lung damage in people who have stopped smoking.
It also suggests that a diet rich in fruits can slow the natural aging process of the lungs even if you have never smoked or stopped smoking.
