Multiple large population studies have examined the relationship between diet and measured lung function (FEV1, FVC). The findings are consistent and relevant for adults over 50.
High fruit and vegetable intake (especially apples, bananas, tomatoes) is consistently associated with slower age-related lung function decline. The Mediterranean diet pattern shows the strongest association with preserved lung health.
Processed meat consumption (nitrites may damage lung tissue). Excessive alcohol. Diets high in refined carbohydrates and sugar. Chronic caloric excess leading to obesity (which restricts lung expansion).
Dietary patterns provide the foundation. Lungora’s antioxidant ingredients (Turmeric, CoQ10, ALA) supplement the protective compounds in a healthy diet. They do not compensate for a poor one.
