Health Food Guide

In today’s health conscious world, proper care is taken to decide what foods to eat for lung health. We all know that lungs help us in breathing. Even this simple act requires a lot of energy from our body. If we don’t eat well and don’t take healthy food, our body will find it difficult to provide that kind of energy for breathing as well as for all its other daily functions.

Proper nourishing food should be taken in the right quantity for better health of lungs as this effects the body’s metabolism and even the amount of carbon dioxide produced by digestion whose excess can make you feel weak and fatigued.

•   Enjoying a variety of foods is a must. This will ensure proper nourishment for the body 
• We all know that fruits and vegetables are very rich in nutrients. So it is important to include a generous serving of fruits and vegetables in your daily meal.
•   Have plenty of cereals, breads and other grain products. This increases the fibre that is required by the body.
•   Avoid oily and greasy foods and take low-fat dairy products. The foods high in calories will only harm the lungs
•    It is better to have lean proteins such as eggs, fish, white meat chicken and turkey etc. Consuming lean meats reduce the intake of calories by us
•   Excess of salt is very bad for lungs as well as the overall health. Limit the amount of salt consumed
•   Cut your intake of caffeine and alcohol. These foods are very addictive and are very bad for the lungs
•   Drink at least 6-8 glasses of water or other healthy beverages everyday. Its good for lungs and it also flushes out toxins from your body
•   Don’t go for carbonated and sugary beverages   The foods with added sugar and refined starches such as cakes and candies should be avoided
