In an ideal world, we are able to avoid pollutants, microbes, or pathogens that can be harmful to the lungs. Notice how we said an \u201cideal world\u201d and not the real world, because the human body encounters an array of environmental pollutants and airborne toxins on a daily basis. Because of this frequent exposure, respiratory conditions<\/a> like asthma<\/a>, pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)<\/a> have become commonplace. There are, however, nutrients that can keep the lungs health and decrease the risk of respiratory diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a dietary change can be difficult for anyone, especially when you need to make a drastic change overnight. With rising rates of COPD, asthma, chronic lung disease, and other respiratory diseases in the United States, it seems that change is necessary. A 2017 survey found that 22.5 million American adults (9.1%) were living with asthma, and about 16.3 million American adults (6.6%) were diagnosed with COPD. Additionally, 33.2 million American adults (13.4%) reported that they had chronic lung disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can Juicing Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Juicing is an excellent way to deliver the essential, unharmed nutrients from fruits and vegetables to the body. We say \u201cunharmed nutrients\u201d because cooking foods can decrease the amount of enzymes, vitamins, and minerals in the given foods. The purest form of nutrients is when you get them from raw fruits and vegetables. Research has shown that one of the easiest ways for the body to absorb vitamins A<\/a>, C, and D, omega-3, folate, zinc, and other phytonutrients from raw foods is via juicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Dietary Note: <\/strong>Be aware that certain fruits, vegetables, or herbs may have negative interactions with certain respiratory medications. Do your research before incorporating foods, which you\u2019re not used to consuming, into your diet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
