To have healthy lungs, what fruits should we prioritize eating?

Báo Thanh niênBáo Thanh niên23/02/2025

The lungs help absorb oxygen into the blood and provide oxygen for a variety of important body functions. Like many other organs, the lungs need adequate nutrition to function properly.


Factors such as environmental pollution, weather changes, pollen, bacteria or viruses can damage the lungs. In addition, free radicals will also cause inflammation and damage lung cells, contributing to pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or lung cancer, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).

Eating a balanced diet will help improve lung health and function.

A proper diet can help protect and enhance lung health, in which fruits rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals play an important role. Below are the fruits that should be prioritized to maintain healthy lungs.

Apple

Apples are one of the best fruits for your lungs because they are rich in antioxidants such as quercetin, flavonoids and vitamin C. Studies show that quercetin helps reduce airway inflammation and supports lung function, which is especially beneficial for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma.

Oranges, lemons and grapefruits

Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, which help improve immunity and reduce inflammation in the lungs. Vitamin C also helps increase collagen production, supporting healthy lung tissue and reducing the risk of respiratory infections.

Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries

Berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries contain high levels of anthocyanins, a compound that protects lung tissue from damage caused by oxidative stress. Anthocyanins also help reduce the risk of age-related decline in lung function.

Pomegranate

Pomegranates are rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, which help reduce inflammation and protect the lungs from damage. Some studies suggest that pomegranate juice may reduce lung damage caused by cigarette smoke or environmental pollution.

Pineapple

Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme with natural anti-inflammatory properties that helps to thin mucus in the airways and help the lungs function more efficiently. Pineapple is also rich in vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system and protect lung tissue.

Papaya

Papaya is a rich source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, and the enzyme papain. These substances, when entering the body, act as anti-inflammatory agents, thereby improving respiratory health. In particular, beta-carotene in papaya will be converted into vitamin A, helping to maintain respiratory mucosa, according to Medical News Today .
