The respiratory system, as you probably know is one of our main life-sustaining systems. Despite this fact, more and more persons neglect its health, despite regretting this fact when diseases like asthma occur. Keeping our lungs and our entire respiratory system healthy is vital to our existence and has an incredible impact on our lifestyles.



Here are a few “tips” on how to maintain your body and blood ventilation system healthy and improve its performances. Besides the well-known fact that the immune and the digestive system benefit from a positive and healthy life because of the consumption of fruits and vegetables, there is evidence showing that such a diet will be beneficial for lung health, can help alleviate chronic diseases and prevent some specific diseases.

American researchers have proven by research that the consumption of fruits like apples, pears, grapes, apricots or vegetables like carrots, tomatoes or potatoes, in moderate quantities, has a positive impact on the lungs and the whole respiratory system. Effects are visible even in the case of hardcore smokers, and persons with a healthy lifestyle that follow a fruit diet present no risks to diseases like asthma.

Similar efforts of researchers from the U.S. and UK have been undertaken in this respect, and discovered that a diet rich in fruits protects the body against respiratory system diseases. Serving the fruits in at least 5 servings (at least 5 fruits - apples, pears, apricots) with a combined weekly moderate consumption of vegetables (tomatoes, celery, cabbage, etc..) improves lung activity and reduces the risk of asthma.
A study undertaken by researchers at the University of Auckland comes to emphasize the role that vitamin D has in lung health. Professor Peter Black, one of the study's authors, said that the difference between the lungs with high levels of vitamin D and of those with low levels is substantial. "[The difference] is higher than that of lung function in case of former smokers and non-smokers," he said.

"Low levels of vitamin D are associated with conditions such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer. Our study now shows that vitamin D could influence lung function and that a higher concentration is associated with healthy lungs.

As a conclusion, I think that it is safe to say that the health of our respiratory system should be more emphasized, because it is being more and more neglected. If we look at our daily life and the things that we eat, we should, in many cases think twice before eating junk food or lighting a cigarette. Keeping a healthy respiratory system isn’t hard and it doesn’t require huge changes in anyone’s diet, so anybody can adopt a healthy lifestyle in terms of their lungs. If you are a smoker, quit, if you are a non-smoker, eat healthy. Basically, it all resumes to that.
