If you want to keep your lungs strong, in addition to adopting habits such as not smoking, exercising and minimizing exposure to air pollution, you should also avoid some foods.
According to Eat This, Not That !, these foods weaken lung health:
Bread – Simple carbohydrates, such as refined flours and sugars, can contribute to poor lung health. In addition to being inflammatory, they require much more work on the part of the lungs to metabolize. Choose complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
Potato chips – It is no surprise that processed foods are not good for the lungs. Processed foods like potato chips are packed with salt and saturated fat, which are highly harmful to lung health.
Beer – Alcohol is not good for the lungs, especially beer. The gas can cause swelling, chest tightness and even asthma attacks.
