Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Lung Foods Along with making positive lifestyle choices (such as not smoking), following a healthy diet may play a significant role in reducing the risk of developing lung cancer. Keep your lungs in top shape by following these healthy dietary tips: Add more antioxidants. Apples, tomatoes and oranges are especially helpful in nourishing the lungs. Add carrots, yellow squash and dark, leafy greens for their lung-protective carotenoids. Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and keep nasal passages moist. Eat whole soy foods - the phytoestrogens they contain may have a protective effect. Keep in mind that antioxidants and carotenoids from foods are your best source. While supplemental mixed carotenoids may offer some benefit, you should avoid taking isolated beta-carotene if you are, or were, a smoker - higher doses may actually increase the risk of lung cancer.
