I thought I would begin with A for Apple, but WOW Im already learning so much! I knew garlic and onions were good for lungs but the dreaded lentil?
Well you live and learn . Will soon do a post about them


Apples and Lung health
Apples have many health benefits including:
Antioxidants: Apples are rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin. Quercetin is often used to treat conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels.
Granny was always right! EAT YOUR APPLE SKINS! :D They contain loads of Quercetin
Antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are known to contribute to lung inflammation.  
Reduced Lung Decline: Studies have shown that people who eat apples regularly may experience a slower decline in lung function, especially former smokers.  
Reduced Risk of COPD: Apple consumption has been linked to a lower risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).  
Reduced Risk of Asthma and Lung Cancer:Some research suggests that apples may also help reduce the risk of asthma and lung cancer.  
However, it's important to note that while apples can be part of a healthy diet for lung support, they shouldn't be considered a standalone solution. A balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is crucial for overall lung health.
