Foods and herbs that will help you to maintain healthy lungs and breathing...

With all the toxins that enter our bodies and lungs, it is necessary to keep our lungs working their best by providing the appropriate nutrients through food choices.

​Drinking lots of clean water is a must when it comes to healthy lungs because it helps them fight irritations and stay hydrated. 

 
Fatty fish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and an excellent source of vitamin D as well.
It has been found that lack of vitamin D is severe on the lungs and can contribute, if not cause, the lack of proper function in the lungs. Fish oil and fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna are your best options and also help ward off cancer. Omega-3s can also be found in walnuts. 
 
Vitamin A helps prevent lung disease and vitamin C is a great antioxidant that can help keep the lungs clean and healthy. Carrots offer a combination of both vitamins and can help prevent a variety of lung diseases.

​The cancer fighting properties such as lycopene, lutein, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and falcarinol are also found in oranges. Other orange colored fruits and vegetables also contain vitamin C.
Aside from vitamin C, oranges also contain vitamin B6 and an antioxidant called beta-cryptoxanthin. Other beneficial fruits include apricots, which are high in vitamin A, apples and berries, which are packed with antioxidants.

​Other antioxidant rich foods include beans, broccoli and onions.

​Onions also provide nutrients such as vitamins B6 and C. Poultry has more significant vitamin A for our bodies than plants since we can absorb them better.
Herbal therapy can help cleanse the lungs and keep them strong. The best herbs for lungs that ward of diseases and infections are angelica, cinnamon, coltsfoot, thyme, garlic, ginger, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, rosemary, elecampane, fenugreek and fennel. 
 
Cinnamon, which can be found in most kitchens, helps with mucous problems and adds warmth to chests that are cold. Thyme works as a disinfectant for our air passages and can get rid of coughs. Bronchitis can be treated with ginger, coltsfoot, elecampane, garlic, fennel and fenugreek. 
 
Garlic is a great herb for the lungs because it keeps our immune systems working well and gets rid of an infection, while removing mucous that forms in the lungs. Elecampane also helps remove mucous from the lungs and clears airways. Rosemary leaf and chrysanthemum and honeysuckle flowers keep the lungs clean and immune system strong. ​
