Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) News

According to a 12 year study involving more then 40,000 men, individuals who eat a Mediterranean diet have
a 50 percent lower risk of developing lung disease than those who eat a Western diet.

A number of studies performed over the years have proved that good nutrition leads to improved lung function.

Apart from protecting the heart from strokes and attacks, broccoli has now been found to protect human lungs
from damage caused by toxins. A compound - sulforapane - found in broccoli increases the activity of the NRF2
gene in smokers with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and protects the lung cells from further
damage.
